Can you help identify this airport? by
Video Guy
Hello
My family has an aerial photograph of an airport we need help to identify.
It was taken by my late father-in-law sometime in the 1960's. At least that
's our guess. Could be a little later; and maybe even a bit earlier; we
just aren't sure.

The Mustang Suite is done! by
Jay Honeck
***CAUTION -- SHAMELESS PLUG WARNING ***
I've been promising this one for six months -- and we have finally finished
the Mustang Suite!
We took our most popular suite (it's popular because it's our smallest,

Can vacuum AI be removed if a certified electric one is installed?? by
Dave
I had an interesting discussion with other pilots about converting my
Piper Cherokee 6 to all electric. This would basically require
replacing the AI and DG with electric AI and elec. HSI. So, then,
there would be no use for vacuum pump. But, one pilot said that the
certified elec. AI only...

Thanks to all who took the time to look at my "mystery" airport photo.
Seems the only mystery was on my end. It took less than 12 hours from
posting for Paul Sisson of Litchfield Aerobatic Club to send in the
correct answer.
At least it's the correct answer in the opinion of several who...

Magneto/comm interference on TKM MX-R Narco 120 replacement by
Eugene Wendland
I just installed a Michel TKM MX 11r which is a direct slide-in replacement
for my Narco 120 Comm. Because I have an intercom, I had to add a resistor
to the circuit board. Having done this, I installed the radio in the old
Narco tray and tested the radio:

74 Archer Nav light switch by
Mike Noel
Any advice on how to change a nav light on/off switch. It's attached to the
roller knob that also controls the panel lights. I don't see any obvious
way to remove it from the front, and the back is not easy to get a look at
while lying next to the rudder pedals. I can get the lights to come on...

Beech F-33/B-55 panel upgrade or STC by
Gordon Rich-Phillips
In 1984 Beech did a major upgrade to the panel on A-36 Bonanzas and B-58
Barons, getting rid of the high-mounted throttle quadrant and control column
boom and installing a conventional throttle quadrant and individual control
columns.
Beech didn't make this change to the F-33 Bonanza or the B-55...

Battery storage? by
Roger Long
We put a fresh battery in our plane for the winter starting season even
though the old one was in good shape. On advice from several sources, I put
the old one on a Sears trickle charger as a spare. The charger claims to
sense the battery condition and be suitable for long term connections.
