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!!!!

Can you help me identify an aircraft? It is a small general aviation single-engine, two-seat, tri-gear, high-wing monoplane. The most distinguishing features are that the canopy has a moderate "bubble" shape, and the wings are swept forward about 5 or 10 degrees. The one I saw (in Fort Stockton,...

Is anyone here in Australia? I'm looking for someone who can verify a company for me. They're called Aviation Salvage at the Bankstown Airport near Sydney. Their official address is: Aviation Salvage Hangar 505

Hi All I'm in the process of purcasing my first Plane from a private owner. The current owner lives in NY state and I live in NJ. I know with cars I would pay sales tax at NJ Motor vehicles when I register and title the car but how does the process work with Planes? I was told that you just snd in...

Sorry for the delay this year, but extremely busy since returning from Oshkosh.. Pictures are at http://www.myairplane.com/oshkosh2004 This was our first time doing a booth, it was 7 days of terror and fun at the same time. Our booth had a crowd in front if it constantly from the time the doors...

Hey folks, I'm trying to decide which is preferable, a relatively low time plane with missing logs or a higher time of the same model with all logs. The first is a 65-year old plane with 1800 ttaf and 346 tsmoh. It's missing the airframe logs from 1986 and older. The other has about 3000 ttaf...

Anybody know of a shop in the New England region that has experience installing these indicators? Our usual local shop hasn't and evidently there's a bit of learning curve. Thanks. Dave Reinhart

In other words, the volume of the music audio has to be fairly high, or the Muse will cut out during softer parts of a song. The audio output device needs a compression circuit to keep audio levels more near a constant output. There are portable cd players out there that have such a...

In-flight video of my trip to KEKY to help reduce the turkey population by one. Very pretty ride above the undercast. Something always magical to watching the sun rise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aroOqkDU9k

Greeting to All, I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12 months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that allowed you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone. I was interested in it for controlling the Tanis heater on my plane, but a friend at work was describing needing something similar for his cottage to turn on the...

Hi r.a.o guys, Thru a local ad I found a 1/6th share in a 1969 Cherokee 140 (hershey bar wing). I've done some minimal due diligance on it and it looks, well, like an old 1969 rental. The nose-wheel cowling is pretty worn (looks like it's been glued several times) and the paint is original & drab....

I have a strange, intermittent charging problem in my Mooney and am looking for a good electrical shop. I've changed out the alternator, battery, regulator, field wire, alternator ground wire and several other items and I'm still having a charging problem. I'm looking for a shop that knows how to...

I've had an opportunity recently to purchase a Piper PA28-140- absolute creme puff cosmetically... but the problem (and reason for the good cosmetic condition) is that the plane has been sitting in an enironmentally stable (dry, 50-80 degree ambient temperature) for almost a decade now. (For those...

From time to time pilots have observed fuel stains on the nosewheel wheelpant of our club's 172SP. The only time I have actually seen fuel dripping from the engine was when I watched a pilot turn the auxiliary fuel pump on for what seemed to me to be an excessively long period of time. The fuel...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd throw this out for discussion and see what comes from some of the experienced people on the list. I'm helping out some at a local school. The owner of the school is a REAL penny pincher. He scrimps and saves anywhere he can. He'd reuse oil if he could (he already...

Today was not a good day for the Baron. While replacing a cylinder I found a crack (confirmed with Dye Pent) off the #5 cylinder leading up towards the case halves. The engine has 2750 Hr since new and about 1000 Hr since a TW Smith overhaul. The case is repairable, but it seems like a waste...
