One of the tachs in our Aztec has been acting kind of flakey, usually reading too high when above 2100 rpms, (I've checked it several times with an optical tach) so I've been contemplating our options of replacing both tachs with a single dual needle tach. This would open up some panel...

So we hop in the plane yesterday for the 50 minute flight to Janesville, WI, and I notice that the display on our JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer looks funny. Some of the LED numbers are missing pieces. Most are not. All the vertical graph/bars appear to be fine. Now for the odd part: The missing...

You may have seen some of my threads over the past 6-8 months, about an unpredictable flakey radio problem I was having. It seemed to have been resolved by replacing a relay in the audio panel. I have flown the plane for a few months now, with no issues, until recently. I have encountered the...

It won't help on your 2008 tax return, but this article on aviation taxes talks about some new tax benefits available if you purchase an aircraft in 2009. http://pilotadvice.com/news/aviation-tax-ideas-2009 Does anyone have tax tips that might help aircraft owners in 2008???

Type of plane I have a VFR Cessna 150. Most important control Radio transmit Least important control Pitot heat (if you need it, you shouldn't be flying) Never working control

I was wondering if someone could give some insight into the various options for a carb temp guage for my 67 skylane with a Continental 0-470.

Day 48 (The Seats) Just completed the seats. Not as tough or as time consuming as I thought it would be. Maybe 10 hours total time. As I said in the previous installment, I reused the rear foam. The rear seat backs rolled back on without a hitch. Minimal adjusting to get it to look just right. I...

I expect this question has been asked many times here....but here goes. Exactly what, if anything, do I need if I want to fly into Canada? Does the answer change if I want to land in Canada or if I am just flying through their airspace? I expect to be on an IFR flight plan, so I will already have...

Perhaps someone here can suggest where to start looking for this problem: Ocassionally, the electric trim on my '78 Mooney 201 will stop working for "nose up". When I press the button and push forward the trim will run nose down, buy the other way - nothing. While I have the button pressed, the...

Hey folks, I've been sitting here thinking about our upcoming get together in OSH, and I realized that not only don't we know what each other looks like, but -- worse! -- we don't know what each other's planes look like! This seems to be a major failing of this newsgroup, if you ask me. I...

I am looking to sell my glider and cant find a true value of this machine. If anyone out there is in the know please can you contact me on my e-mail address. *** Sent via http://www.automationtools.com *** Add a newsgroup interface to your website today.

Somebody got away with one of my Piper service manuals, probably by accident, but gone nonetheless. Seems somebody on this ng was telling about a new service that has them reprinted on CDROM. Can anybody point me to this source? Jim

Hi Today I was flying north and my ADF was tuned to an NDB. The needle pointed at 330 degrees (or 11 O'clock) until I reached the NDB, and then it swung until it pointed behind. I dialed up the next NDB and it pointed at 330 again until passage. And I dialed up another NDB - same indication - all...

I have one of these in my plane. For over a month, I cannot figure out how to program it, and my plane comes with no documentation on this radio. Can anyone hlep? Thanks in advance. Robin Hou

Recently, I had an A&P put the wrong vacuum pump into my Piper Turbo Arrow 3 (the work was done about 3 weeks ago). When I started the engine, the wrror was obvious because none of the vacuum instruments functioned. The D.G. was spinning wildly. The A&P was there when I started my engine and saw...

Can anyone tell me if there is any hangar space available in south east florida? Dave N415DK

After considerable research, I have pretty much written off adding weather to my Garmin 530 right now. It looks like the GDL-49 just doesn't do what I want, and is too susceptable to interference for efficient delivery of detailed weather, and you have to add another damned VHF antenna (which would...

If you go to http://www.ontarioseaplane.com and click on "photo gallery" then click on "interesting floatplane pictures", there is a Cherokee on floats. Probably one of only 2 or 3 in the world. (There ya go Jay Honeck!)

I am considering this: 1/13th share in '97 172R. GPS. 2200TT, couple hundred hours on a new engine. Buy-in: $3800 Dues: $150/month flat plus $38/hr wet for time. It seems like a pretty good deal to me. The aircraft is immaculate and makes the 20+ year-old 152s I've been driving seem like.....
