Hello ! We are a small group of pilots who operate a PA 38-112 Tomahawk II. On the last anual inspection we were told that next time the three universal joints in the aileron control linkage need to be replaced. They are located under the instrument panel. We got a price quote from Piper, they...

A friend of mine inherited a Terra TX 760D in the Citabria he recently bought. The radio is now giving him trouble. While Terra is out of business, Star Avionics in CHA works on these and can get parts. He wants to know if anyone has any experience with these radios, and if so, are they worth...

The compass in my plane decided to spontaneously emit fluid all over the glareshield the other day, so I'm looking at options for replacement. I've Googled for opinions on the vertical-card vs whiskey issue, and came away no wiser - anybody care to comment from fairly recent experience? This is...

I've just bought myself a new Garmin handheld GPS. I noticed that the auto dash mount is stuck to the dashboard with some kind of double-stick stuff. Is it OK by the FAA to stick the mount onto my airplane's glare shield this way, or do they consider it a permanent installation and require 337s...

I've got a Flybuddy Loran in my C150. The manual and the 337 identify it simply as a "Flybuddy Loran." Is the Flybuddy Loran 800 often mentioned on this newsgroup the same item or is it a different one? I ask cuz I'm going to see if I can get the 1993 database card upgraded. Henry

hi, i just got hp ipaq 4150 ppc and garmin gps 10 bluetooth, what kind of programs and maps (europe) u can recommend for aviation use?? regards!

Peter, WingX is not hard-coded to any specific screen size. It runs just fine on 320x240, 240x320, 240x240, 640x480, 480x640, and 480x480. In fact, WingX even has the option to automatically change between portrait and landscape - had that for about a year now if I recall correctly. Route...

"Peter" wrote in message ... It is for ocassional flights only e.g. 1x or 2x a year at 15000 ft, for 1-2 hrs, and 1 or 2 people but expandable to 4. In Europe. I have looked at the Aerox one with their oxymiser...

If any of you are itching to do a longer cross country this year, I invite you to check out www.cessna150-152.com for information on their National Fly-in. Held in centrally located Clinton, Iowa, right on the Mississippi River. Pilots come from all over the country, but this year the owners want...

i really need to start this by saying i know absolutely nothing new or bad about any aircraft. i'm sure not trying to start any rumors. in fact, this may be something that y'all have already chewed on but... the outfit i rent from is just down the taxiway from "air aces" at houston-hooks where...

ok, any guess on when we can get keyhole tied to the gps, probably by xm?? in flight on handheld/laptop/tablet etc?? dan

wouldn't you know it. 'bout the time i get ready to start shopping for a c140-ish the main club goes off-line. wazzup w/dat? anybody suggest a general best source on the cessna 120-140 ?? thx dan

ok...if walt disney were to design an airplane this would be it. presently, i'm hoping a lot of y'all buy these so i can get one used in a couple of years cheap. if it really delivers those performance numbers and is sport rated then this could be a lot of fun. dan

in my ongoing process of falling in love with various aircraft which i cannot afford (yet!) i come to the cessna 170. looks like 35-40k$ for a fair example. i think i prefer the no nosewheel configuration and i'm endorsed to drag so that's ok. i'm curious about the 6 cylinder 145hp motor. seems...

anyone know if they've actually started delivering airplanes? last i saw was an article in ga news (i think) that seemed to say they'd gotten all the old stuff together and "were about" to start production. any other thoughts on the new taylorcraft; plane or company, would be welcome. dan

just got a note from the feds reminding everyone to watch out for hurricane salt soaked aircraft on the used market. funny, i've been watching the c-170 section of trade-a-plane and there's this sweetheart plane in south louisianna that looks to be about 10K$ below market. any advice on how to...
