Where within the FAA is the place to get the records showing STCs associated with a specific plane?

I am a member of a 3-way partnership in a Cessna 206. We have just purchased a SureFire preheater. The source is available at: http://www.crystal-airways.com/surestart/surefire.asp It uses small camping style propane bottles which are readily available at Wal-mart or other retailers. They do not...

What would be the most likely reason a cylinder in a high-time engine would crack, old-age or poor temperature management on a descent? -- Peter

G'day from Australia Help please. A friend of mine has "shortened" his Sensenich 74 x 50 propeller and is in need of another. Could anyone suggest as to where we could look for one.

Hello - our 1972 skyhawk with original engine (2300 hrs) is in major overhaul. The crank was sent out and found to have a crack and is supposedly unusable. The mechanic quoted $3,000 for a used replacement and $4,000 for new. Engine is Lycoming O-320-E2D, getting upgraded to 160 HP + powerflow...

I am thinking about relocating from Illinois to Ohio with my plane. Are there any suprises I need to be aware of like hidden taxes, state fees, etc regarding aircraft ownership? Bob

Well, it came yesterday. Great box. Looks like the challenge will be 'mounting' the GXM 30 XM antenna in the Maule. The thing has a big non-removeable magnet so distance from the compass is needed. It has an extension cord and mounting screws but needs good sky exposure... any thoughts are...

Trying to decide on these two. I've kind of ruled Lycoming out at this point so I need some help on these two. If you know of an article or if you have personal experience recently with either of these I'd appreciate your thoughts. My plane is a PA28 235. Feel free to e-mail me at ...

I have hangar space available at the Airlake Airport at Lakeville, MN (KLVN) for a SE aircraft. The hangar has electric bifold doors on both ends, so no one gets "stuck" in the back. Rent is $200 / month. Please email me back at:

I have an IO-360-A3B6 with 1000 SFNEW in 1998. We pulled a cylinder and the pin plugs where gone (we guessed this from the oil analysis). The mechanic says he thinks he remembers some sort of SB put out by Lycoming that there was a defect in the plugs and that they were made too soft. Has anyone...

Had a potentially bad experience in my Archer tonight. Wife and I flew to dinner and returned to the home port about 5:20. Airport normally is open till sunset (which is 5:07 tonight) but as we taxied in, the lights in their cars went out and they came walking to my plane. I store in the big...

Hey: with oil 90 bucks barrel has it caused Avgas to go up in your area??? How much are you paying??? at KBHM ( Birmingham, Al) last week it was $ 5.76 a gallon!!!!

I've seen plenty of pireps on the Garmin 396, but is anybody using the FlightPrep software with the Motion Computing tablet and XM Weather/GPS/Electronic Flightbag options?? Also, is there any software/hardware combination when using a laptop or tablet that can take advantage of the XM Radio...

Well, the trustworthy engine (TSIO-520P) in my P210 has put in its 1500 hours or so without complaint, and it is time for a new engine. The choice is a new or factory remanufactured engine. My trusted Cessna sources in Santa Maria, CA favor a new Continental engine (at about $37,000), but they are...

Our Aztec's door seal needs replacing. I'm wondering how many people go the inflatable route and what their experience has been. Would you do it again? Does it block noise and air better than the standard seal? Does it push the door away from the frame or cause too much pressure against the...

After sending my Lycoming AEIO-540 to the factory for a mandatory repair it has finally returned. At Oshkosh this year the people at the Lycoming booth swore it would take only two weeks, but when the actual paperwork arrived everything said one month in the shop. It ended up taking a little over...

Hello all. I know it's been awhile since I updated, but progress has been slow. Here's where we're at: Last weekend: - Pulled valve covers, rockers, pushrods, exhaust. - Pushed on valves and were unable to feel any sticking like there was the last time we definately had sticking valves. Decided...
