I need to remove my KLN 35A but I can't figure out how - small hole in the front - I assumed it was for an allen wrench - none of mine fit it - too small for a tiny screwdriver - what's the secret to getting this thing out ? The battery in the unit is going dead and needs to be replaced - figured...

I recently bought a Garmin 296 and found I can not upload route or data from the 296 to Flitestar. The Garmin 295 worked flawlessly. I have the serial cable and the USB cable. Neither one will allow this transfer. Does anyone have any better experience? If not beware...I wouldn't...

What is a good anti-fog spray for the interior aircraft windows? Departing during Buffalo's lake effect snow last Thursday, I had my plate full as it was when about 1,500 feet above the ground the interior of my Bonanza's windows glazed over in a fog that quickly turned to ice. -- Peter

Anyone out there willing to share how much an overhaul cost in your Cardinal's IO360? If so, what type of overhaul, from where, and how satisfied are you? In looking at Cardinals, I'm trying to get a handle on how much to plan for when it comes time for a new engine. Hopefully, that would be...

Hi I am hoping there are some PA-12 pilots out there. I was wondering what speed you use on final. I did all of my private in the PA-12 and was taught to be at 75 mph on final but I can't find any specific reference to the speed. Thanks. Tom

hi chaps: I need to repaint my aircraft. Problem is that I like the look of polish (i.e., shiny aluminum) rather than paint; but from what I understand, polish requires a lot more maintenance. unfortunately, I do not have the time to maintain it in the condition necessary, and my local aviation...

Can they blame that one on GA planes?

The wet compass in my Cessna 150 has suddenly decided to indicate way off. I took it off the dash mount and it reads nearly correctly when moved about 12" away from the instrument panel, and even better when out in the open by itself. I got another wet compass from a friend, and as I moved it near...

Greetings rec.aviation groups, hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving! I am still in need of selling my Super Yankee, and although I have had more than 50 inquiries nobody has actually laid down the money to buy it. I truly wish I didn't need to let it go, however I must do so. The price had been...

Does anyone know if there's still a Twin Beech (Beech 18) type club?

General aviation is under attack: Many 'forces' would like it to go to the dust bin of history. Aircraft charter services, fractional ownership etc is growing leaps and bounds and as such, more than EVER, FBO's are LOADED with NON FLYING persons waiting to be picked up for a charter or...

Our Mooney has a 500 hour recurring AD for inspecting the Impulse Coupler. While they have it off they will inspect the points and condensers and replace worn ones. Our left mag was out of time by 5 degrees so they had to remove the magneto anyway. Jon Kraus PP-ASEL-IA '79 Mooney 201 Jim Burns...

It's that time of year again. It's time for our club to renew it's insurance. We're currently with AVEMCO but want to try to find something less expensive. They also impose a limit on the # of members we can have per airplane and would like to get out from under that restriction. Any...

I have a Flightcom Denali ANR headset that does a fairly good job of cutting down the noise level. However, with an open-cockpit airplane, there's a limit. When making a long flight, I generally use a pair of foam earplugs to cut down on the noise energy my ears are exposed to. This *almost*...

My #3 EGT usually works just fine but every once in a while it will jump up to an unreasonable number or even just report "OPEN PROBE" on the screen. It may do this for several minutes and then just come back and work just fine. JPI says to first swap it with another (#1 EGT) and see if its the...

A liberal response to what I've read... There's no denying what you experienced. If you were thrilled by something, then that's what happened - whether it was planned or came from a surprise. Whether it was appropriate OR how you handled it is a question for debate. I've really learned something...

Hey, all... as usual, I figured I'd try to get some opinions on a new purchase for the Cherokee. Mains are worn out, and I am leaning towards some McCreary AirHawks. Any thoughts? The plane sits outside, but has been getting lots of flying in of late. I find it hard to believe that a tire that...
