Hey all. Just got done with a marathon day of maintenance yesterday and figured I'd share. The interior lights started blowing the breaker a week or two ago, so my mechanic and I repaired it yesterday. It turns out that the breaker blowing was easy (one of the little clippy light bulbs had...

Hi all.I'm looking for the Installation Manual or pinouts of the King KN73 glideslope receiver. I want to hook it up to the KX-170B that I have in the plane. Does anyone know how these two should interface? Thanks Jarand

Alright, here is a good one for you. Stene in Montana manufactures and sells very nice fiberglas tips for elevators, stabilizers, wings, and rudders, mostly for Pipers and Cessnas. You can find these parts advertised in TAP and on the internet. I have inspected, painted, and installed several...

Looking for an avionics shop in NJ or eastern PA. I want to get an IFR moving map GPS installed in my Archer. Don't have the budget for a GNS-430 or CNX-80 so I'm thinking either a KLN-89B or the Garmin GPS-155XL. Any other thoughts in that price range? I'm hoping to keep the entire bill under...

I was owning a 1970 Mooney 20 F, and I enjoyed it a lot, but I lost it recently (nosewheel collapsed on a grass runway...).The insurance will pay me 60 000€. With this amont (approximately)I want to buy an easier-going replacement, but not too slow. What are the real cruise speed performances (75%...

Our flying club's insurance company is reluctantly allowing us to insure our Lance, but they have said that they don't like 6 seaters in clubs. A year ago they told us that anybody who flew the Lance had to put at least 3 hours in the previous 90 days or do a "proficiency check" with a...

Landing light circuit breaker 20 amp. Pops after about one minute. I have changed the landing light 4552, changed the CB and thought I had the problem solved. This morning Taxi at 6 am (still dark) I was pleased to have the landing light while in close quarters, then the CB popped. I have checked...

Does anyone have a source for a Cessna 180 100 hour/annual checklist? No results from Google or Alta Vista searches. Thanks...

Hello: I always had the goal and the illusion of flying on my own, now I have the means to do it... so I have three questions: a) What will be the best choice of airplane, for a firt timmer like myself, considering, price range, flying range and easiness to learn and fly? b) Used or new?

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can tell me a step by step process that is required to de-register an N# plane. I'm in canada and need to let the gentleman in the US know the process. Somehow I doubt this happens automagically! Links to an FAA site would be great. Thanks,

Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart? I'm thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my Bonanza in and out of the hangar. Many thanks. Ashton

Light aircraft are not a business tool. There is _no such thing_ as a rational purchase of a light airplane. It's a heinously expensive toy that will likely be a financial disaster no matter what. Don't go 95% broke buying an unfulfilling spam can. Buy what you want, which if you have anything but...

I saw this site and I like it so much, I'd like to see it to learn a lot of things http://zzrz.com/english.htm

I'm wondering what everyone else's definition of "Damage History" is. After looking through Ebay for a Cessna 172 I ran across this description: Complete Logs, Computerized AD List, Logs reflect no history of damage except: 11/2/95 Off airport landing; Wings, rudder & vertical fin replaced...

Another thread made me think about using the portable propane heater I use in my garage to preheat my airplane. It's the standard metal tube type with the fan from Home Depot or Lowes. I've seen people simply attach a flex duct to the end of this type heater and blow the hot air into the...

Is it possible to purchase a one-time update to the 430 database using the Skybound adapter? I don't fly enough IFR to require a current database year round and I'd like to just update it during certain times during the year. When I check their webpage all I can find is a one time mail in option...
