In other words, the volume of the music audio has to be fairly high, or the Muse will cut out during softer parts of a song. The audio output device needs a compression circuit to keep audio levels more near a constant output. There are portable cd players out there that have such a...

I did two approaches today, each in separate videos. First one is an ILS approach into HKS Jackson Hawkins airport in VMC conditions. Purpose of this approach was to "warm up" for my next approach which was a no gyro approach into KJAN Jackson MS. Both videos contain ATC communications as well...

Today was not a good day for the Baron. While replacing a cylinder I found a crack (confirmed with Dye Pent) off the #5 cylinder leading up towards the case halves. The engine has 2750 Hr since new and about 1000 Hr since a TW Smith overhaul. The case is repairable, but it seems like a waste...

If anyone cares to see a few hundred Oshkosh photo's, I put them on my site.. Great pix, Dennis! Did you get any aerial shots of the North 40 that you didn't post? I'd sure like one of our campsite! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA

I just had to order some Rand-O-Fill for a fabric repair. Had a lot of trouble finding it - Aircraft Spruce is out of stock and doesn't expect to get any until mid-May. I finally found a place in Texas that has a few quarts. They told me that Randolph is being acquired by new owners and is not...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd throw this out for discussion and see what comes from some of the experienced people on the list. I'm helping out some at a local school. The owner of the school is a REAL penny pincher. He scrimps and saves anywhere he can. He'd reuse oil if he could (he already...

We just ordered a BFGoodrich WX-950 stormscope for our TB-20 Has anyone had any bad experiences with installation of this stormscope ? Anything tricky we should pay attention to ? It comes with a 6ft antenna cable. There is another one 25ft long that comes as extra. What is the best way to...

I know everyone has an opinion... and I'd like to hear some of them! I'm a first time buyer, and I've come across a 172P for sale at a local airport. Its a 1981, 4000TTAF, 1700SMOH. No GPS, standard avionics (digital radios, 720CH, ADF, Audio Panel, Xpndr) No damage history and a current annual...

G'day from Australia Help please. A friend of mine has "shortened" his Sensenich 74 x 50 propeller and is in need of another. Could anyone suggest as to where we could look for one.

I'm sure the experienced buyers & sellers around here have run into this before.... One prospective plane I'm looking at is for sale in Connecticut (currently based there). The current ownership is in a Delaware LLC (of a sole proprietor, who is flying/basing the plane out of CT). Connecticut...

Many people have asked me why I have generators on my airplane rather than converting to alternators. My airplane is a PA-30. The only legal alternator conversion is the InterAv STC. This is a non-redundant conversion - the alternators used require power to the field and the regulators use...

I've been browsing various aircraft for ownership and cant decide. It must easily carry 2 people with some baggage at least 600km at the minimum cost. IFR is preferable. Engine OH costs should be minimal. Speed/looks/noise are non-issues. Must be all-metal however. I've seen the zenith kit...

Our Aztec's door seal needs replacing. I'm wondering how many people go the inflatable route and what their experience has been. Would you do it again? Does it block noise and air better than the standard seal? Does it push the door away from the frame or cause too much pressure against the...

I've seen plenty of pireps on the Garmin 396, but is anybody using the FlightPrep software with the Motion Computing tablet and XM Weather/GPS/Electronic Flightbag options?? Also, is there any software/hardware combination when using a laptop or tablet that can take advantage of the XM Radio...

I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some form of aircraft tug. Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed,...

I understand that if I had a CHT, and it had a redline (I don't have one at all, probably because the PA-24 doesn't have cowl flaps) I would need to keep my CHT or get something certified to be a primary CHT. Are there any rules regarding EGT? The one I have is pretty useless. It's an analog...
