A previous owner, in an attempt to make his yokes move more freely, used dry graphite in the yokes on our Pathfinder. Of course, as moisture and condensation came and went, this graphite clumped up and got gritty. This would restrict motion, so he apparently added MORE graphite. Long story...

IF you fly only VFR, why would you ever consider replacing the dry vacuum pump with an expensive wet pump system?

I found a very good service for reverse cell phone lookup…I want to know is there is any free way to perform reverse cell phone lookup since I found according to given news on google That, there is not a single service which can provide me cell phone detail for free. However I can pay too for phone...

When does an engine needs an overhaul? There are several indications that the engine is comming to the end of its life. But what do peolple really look for to decide an engine is to go to overhaul. Low oil pressure, High oil temperature, Low cylinder compression, Loss of power. Which is the factor...

I'm trying to figure out what portable device to buy to provide in- flight weather, as well as terrain info. Electronic approach plates and enroute charts, as well as flight planning capability, would also be a plus, but not essential. I fly a Cessna 172 that is already equipped with a Garmin...

Hey all. I've got a hershey-bar PA-28 that's been without wheel pants since we bought it. Looks a bit ghetto, and I'd like the speed increase available by putting some on. Awhile back, I ebayed up a set of archer pants thinking I may be able to make them work. After looking at it, it seemed...

Can any one post the pinout of the King KT78 transponder? Thanks Dave

Good Day fellow pilots and aviation enthusiasts. After 30 years I made my dream to cross the Atlantic on a Single Engine Airplane, True. If you like to read the Trip story and see the photos, I have published it on Hub Pages in four parts. Go to the link : ...

Hello.., Anybody know of a website where a guy can see about getting from Seattle to the San Bernardino area round trip every other weekend..? I'm an A&P + IA and will be working a contract in Everette, Washington for the next six months.., or is anybody looking for nav-legs in that...

It's 10pm. It's 6 degrees outside. I decide to go flying. I fly an Cessna 150. The engine has a Tanis preheater. During the pre-flight I notice that the engine block feel reasonably warm. Everything else looks good. I prime 3 or 5 shots and crank the engine. No joy. I let it crank for...

A small oil leak has shown up topside and immediately behind the nosebowl on my Zodiac 601 HD powered with a C85. As near as can be seen, the crankcase nipple connection and hose leading to the air/oil separator is not "wet" or showing leakage. Neither the hose nor air/oil separator are...

My current intercom is a Pilot PA 400 4-place portable. I have used it for the last 7 years and it works well for its price. It works with all mine and my friend's headsets, has good volume. Once the squelch is adjusted, it does not clip the first syllable from every word. There is some very...

Hello, I'm looking into different shared ownership arrangements, including clubs, fractionals and partnerships. I once spoke to a flying club member who said that the availability of their club aircraft improved with 30 members and three aircraft compared with 15 members and only two...

Hi I'm conducting a survey for my aeronautics course and I was hoping you all could help me out. I'm focusing on smaller single reciprocating, nonturbine engine aircrafts and I wanted to know what are the most important features/expectations when considering a STOL and/or Light Sport aircraft?...

Hello all, Our old panel mounted (yes very old) Apollo 820 GPS by IIMorrow appears to have kicked the can. When turned on it goes through it's usual sequence but eventually emits a red warning along with the message "GPS unable to compute position". There appears to be reception of satellites...

An aircraft startup went into action about 12 years ago. To design and certify an updated Luscombe 11, at Altus Oklahoma. It was a struggle. The FAA requirements are very, very demanding. And the new light aircraft market crashed 2 or 3 years ago, just as the certificate was finally approved...

My partners and I are considering this preheater: http://aerothermheaters.com/ It's advantages seem to be that, unlike Tannis and other sump heaters, it's not permanently attached to the airplane, and therefore doesn't require an STC or W&B recalculation (unless you forget it and leave it attached...
