We were hoping that our prop would last until the city was done repaving our horrible taxiways. There was no sense in replacing it while we were literally picking up stone chips on every flight.

This is something that has puzzled me for a while... I (a private pilot) work in the pleasure marine industry and have noticed that almost anyone who wants to own a boat does own a boat.

If there is any chance of an oil drip onto the Rapco vacuum pump it may eventually stop working. The connecting shaft is vented to air. But if some oil drops on the shaft it...

We put a fresh battery in our plane for the winter starting season even though the old one was in good shape. On advice from several sources, I put the old one on a Sears trickle charger as a spare. The charger claims to sense the battery condition and be suitable for long term connections. I...

I was at the local Altell cellphone shop the other day, and they were showing me a new USB doodad that you can plug into your laptop computer and use the internet anywhere they have signal coverage (most of the nation from the chart they showed me) at DSL speeds. It's aimed at people who are on...

i'm working on a plane and his RT459A transponder is not working properly. I would suspect that it may be cheaper to replace than to fix it. Are all the ARC transponders interchangeable? If not, which ones are/aren't? Are there any replacement transponders that will fit the tray? Thanks Dave
