It seems the AOPA keeps just saying that we agree that little planes are a security problem, but really, lets figure out a way to comply with the bogus regulations and rules coming out of DC. This nonsense needs to stop and these rules need to be removed from the books. The TSA does not have the...

I posted this question in the "Fuel dip tube for Piper Warrior?" thread, but it seems to have gotten lost. Does anyone have dip tube data for the straight-wing PA-28's, or are the fuel tanks the same as the taper-wing versions? Thanks. -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) I don't have to...

What is Oil Canning? How is It Spotted? What Problems Dose It Cause? Dose It Affect Airworthiness? If So How Is It Resolved or Fixed?

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...

Hi All, I have been lurking here for some time now and enjoy some of the very interesting threads that take place. Jay always seems to come up with something interesting. Now I have a question and I hope some of you experienced people don't mind wading in. I own a Piper ArcherII PA28-181. In all...

We are contemplating adding a weather uplink system and was wondering what experience you have had on the WxWorx or Anywhere Wx. We are leading towards the Anywhere Wx but wanted to get some comments on both. Thanks!! Jon Kraus '79 Mooney 201

Hi, I have lit my entire panel, via a combination of "nu-lites" and instrument replacements of instruments that were internally lit. I am quite happy with the result, but I still have dark fuel, oil pressure and temp gages, and the ammeter on my Cessna 172N. I have searched the web quite a bit, I...

Greeting to All, I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12 months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

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...

Folks, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose an odd EGT gage behavior. Background: 1965 Aircoupe with Continental C90-16F engine (has vacuum pump). Plane based in N. California so freezing temps not a factor (pre-heat not needed nor used). Has both a CHT and EGT on different cylinders, with the...

AOPA just posted a request that owners of series 400 Cessna aircraft provide some info on their aircraft in an attempt to limit the damage of the proposed AD (*you* know which one). http://twin.cessna.org George Patterson This marriage is off to a shaky start. The groom just asked the band...

Of course, those who still live out in the sticks will need some other way to get around. This will be the rail lines, just like in the old days, or they will fly, as God intended. New airports will spring up like flowers after a rain. Flight instructors will be busy. The little planes...

Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...

Our 2nd Nav/Com on our '79 201 is a KX170B. It has went on the fritz and will cost .7 AMU's to repair. We were looking to maybe replace it with a KX155 (14 volt), preferably w/o the glidescope. Does anyone have an idea on where we might find one for a reasonalble price? Any advise would be...

Does anyone use a PDA to record in a small spreadsheet the departure airport, your destination airport, and the Hobbs & Tach readings when you land? If so, what would be the brand and the main features of the PDA? Thanks
