Painting the inside of my cowl by
iflyatiger
I would like to paint the inside of the cowling of my 1991 American General
Tiger. The AG and the new tigers have a carbon fiber cowl and mine is
painted with a white textured paint. The paint that is there now is still
adhering to the surface so I would like to paint over it.
What does everyone...

SkyTec Starter sticking? by
[email protected]
Hey all. I put a lightweight SkyTec starter on my Cherokee 180 a bit over a
year ago. Recently, I've begun to notice that it's sticking in the ring gear on the
engine for a second or two after startup. I thought it would be like a stock starter
and require some silicone spray, but on a whim I...

Need advice on handling airplane damage by

Being new to airplane ownership, I would appreciate some advice from the
more seasoned guys out there. This weekend, my partner wrecked our plane.

My Aztec's first Annual by
Louis L. Perley III
Well, I met with the mechanics yesterday and we went through the
complete squawk sheet. I've been dropping by almost everyday just to get
updates and looks at things while it's all opened up, so there weren't any
last-minute surprises. One of the primary things to get through were the
logs, which...

Not sure what you mean by this. Mine is a cylinder shape with a shuttle inside.

C182 - Intermittent Alternator by
WinstonCup
I have a 1978 C182 Q. I recently experienced my alternator turning off and the
high voltage light coming on. I cycled the switch (1/2 master) and got it to
reset every time, however, the interval between episodes varied. I had the

Buy a damaged airplane by

Almost bought an airplane. Talked to the guy over the phone. He's
brokering it for someone else. Asked him about damage history. No damage
history, he said.
Now, one thing I always do before I go to see an airplane is I check the
NTSB database. Actually, I do this before I call the owner so I...

Anyone got one of these units?

It seems to combine two very useful things (a VFR moving map GPS and a Com
radio) into one compact unit.

New artificial horizon - Sigmatek or R.C. Allen? by
David Herman
My plane's artificial horizon - which was overhauled just a few months ago
at a well-known shop - has headed south again. Since it's got a lot of
hours on it now (and at least one overhaul, maybe more), I suspect it may be
beyond saving and I could be looking at getting a new one. If I do need...

OOPS! Got contact cement on the windshield by
Mike Rapoport
I managed to get some 1300L contact cement on the windshield of my Helio
Courier while reattaching the vinyl to the glareshield. Does anyone know if
I can use "adhesive remover" on an acrylic windshield without causing
crazing? Any other suggestions? Thanks!
