Aztec Flap Tube AD and related Service Bulletin by
zatatime
Can anyone point me to a link for Piper Service Bulletin 1051B? It is
what the Aztec falp tube AD refers to for compliance (2003-09-18?). I
have not been able to find it on-line. I'm trying to help someone
figure out the best way to comply, but if I can't read it I can't
understand what is...

Carb Rebuild -- Suggestions for where to go by
zatatime
I need to get my carb rebuilt. It's a Marvel MA4-5 off an O-540.
Somehow it floods to the point of not running (longer story possibly
in another post). I'd like to find out why this is happening so that
besides just getting an overhaul I actually know it won't flood again.
I don't care if it...

Cleaning Windows -- Acrylic Cleaners? by
zatatime
I'm wondering what type of acrylic cleaners are used to clean the
windsheild and windows in your aircraft and where you get it. I've
found a bunch of cleaners through the standard aviation sales channels
but am wondering if there is something I could pick up locally so I
don't always have to plan...

Granville's Strut Seal - Or Other Strut Maintenance Techniques by
zatatime
When I stepped on the wing of my Cherokee 235 today, the strut went
completely flat. I got underneath the wing and lifted the plane back
up to a normal strut position where it stayed until I put any weight
on it; again it went completely flat. I pushed it back up one more
time and put my air...

Oil Change Regularity by
zatatime
I fly my bird about 50 hours per year. I was taught by an old-timer
that 50 hours was fine for oil changes and that a year was an
acceptable calendar period.
In the other threads it seems many have a higher frequency than this.
Would people chime in with how often calendar and flight time...

Wax by
zatatime
What type of wax do you use on your airplane? I'd like to stay away
from the standard "carnuba" type waxes because its a royal pain to
buff around all the rivets (its a Cherokee). Any one step polishes
out there that don't require the second buffing step?
This plane has not been waxed in at...

Lycoming Engine Parts list - Where to find? by
zatatime
I've heard that there is a way to get the "as shipped" parts list off
the web (or somewhere other than Lycoming). I am looking to get the
list of parts contained within my engine when it left Lycoming's
factory.
Does anyone know how to get this, or do I need to work with Lycoming
directly?
TIA...

Whelan Strobe Troubleshooting... by

Does anyone know how to go about trouble shooting a Whelan strobe
light? It is on a Piper Cherokee and is the "beacon" of the airplane.
I had an extra bulb I don't know the status of and swapped it out, but
still didn't get any emission. I'm thinking that its probably the
unit, but I don't know...

Belly Cleaning - Nothing like Instant Gratification! by
zatatime
Thanks for all the replies! I think I'll start with some mineral
spirits (although the gojo sounds intriguing) and if any exhaust
stains remain I'll invest in the Aero-Glaze.
Appreciate the help.

Belly Cleaning...? by
zatatime
Hi,
I'm looking for ideas on how to best clean the belly of my plane.
It's a Cherokee and is pretty greasy/grimy/dirty underneath. I'm
hoping to find something I can buy from a non-aviation source (like a
supermarket or auto parts store), and it would be Great if I didn't
need any water.

A/D Question for Piper Cherokees by
zatatime
Does anyone know the A/D number for the vertical fin/rudder that came
out last year (maybe the year before)?
It involves inspecting either the vertical fin or rudder for cracks
and describes repair options if they are found.
Appreciate any help from those who may know this A/D number.

I really want to make a good decision on this so, I'm giving myself plenty
of time, two years, to get my ducks lined up. I've want either an Archer or

YAK 52 insurance? by
YeahBuddy
Hi folks,
Anybody has any idea how much insurance on an older YAK-52 (50K-65K
purchase price) goes for? I'm assuming one registered pilot just out
of Air force UPT and all the civilian equivalent ratings under the
belt. Thanks a bunch!
Oh on a related question, what's a common aircraft loan term?...

Learning piston engine basics by
