Does anyone in the group use a 12v auxiliary heater or heated blanket for added cabin or passenger heat? I've seen that they come in 150watt/12.5 amp and 300watt/ 30amp versions. We'd have to figure out the current load on our alternators but I'm wondering if we should even consider such an...

I've posted twice before on the problems I have been having with my Narco radio's: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.owning/browse_frm/thread/981307ec4df68cc6 I've decided that I'm going to pull the radio and the connector tray and run new coax from the radio to the antenna, after...

Thinking about buying a wing jack for my Archer. I see a couple of designs sold by Spruce, one a simple hydraulic jack with an adapter for cradling the bottom of the main gear strut, another designed to catch the coned lift point under the wing. Is there a reason to prefer one style over the...

Our Mooney has a 500 hour recurring AD for inspecting the Impulse Coupler. While they have it off they will inspect the points and condensers and replace worn ones. Our left mag was out of time by 5 degrees so they had to remove the magneto anyway. Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA '79 Mooney 201 Jim Burns...

I recently bought a Garmin 296 and found I can not upload route or data from the 296 to Flitestar. The Garmin 295 worked flawlessly. I have the serial cable and the USB cable. Neither one will allow this transfer. Does anyone have any better experience? If not beware...I wouldn't...

I am looking for parts manuals or any manual pretaining to this aircraft. I purchased a 11A that the gear spread-eagled on landing rollout.
