Ahh... I forget. Airnav beats 100LL hands down with mogas pricing. Airnav shows mogas at KISW, but 100LL.com doesn't. 100LL.com doesn't list Portage either. Are there any other fuel price sites? Sorry if my posts are out of "sync", but what is up with the groups? My ISP's news server is dead and...

I was looking through the Aircraft Spruce catalog this morning and stumbled across the Aerosheep Australian Sheepskin Seat Covers for .36 AMU's a pair. I though that this would be a nice addition to 43H's interior. Any of you folks go this route? Any other recommendations would be appreciated....

Greetings everyone, Our club is looking into expanding its fleet. Most of the fixed costs associated with an airplane can be obtained from the insurance company and your favorite A&P. I seem to remember a website that published the operating costs associated with a great number of GA airplanes. ...

AOPA have experts to help with crafting a formal response with statistics, etc. Have someone contact them.

I have lost my Job! I need to sell a picture I have of the original Skyblazers Signed by the team. My grandfather passed it on to me but, I am in need of money right now. The Twin Patillo Brothers knew my grandfather, (They give it to him). It is a pen and ink done in Fürstenfeldbruck, (In...

I see on AvWeb that Cessna is, at least, in talks to buy some or all of Columbia Aircraft. Otherwise Columbia is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. (Is that round #2 of Chap. 11?) Apparently Cessna will accept product liability for the aircraft built so far and some of Columbia's debt. I wonder...

Many thanks to everyone in the aviation community for making our annual Big Kids Toy Show in Iowa City (KIOW) a success! We had T-28s, T-6s, a Mustang, a Columbia 300, a turbine-powered Lancair IV-P, a Citation (straight from Cessna's factory!), a '29 Travel Air, a Gypsy Moth, a Pitts Special, a...

I took our sick DG to Airtech Instrument at BFI in Seattle. They can overhaul ours for around $450, or provide an exchange overhauled unit for $495, which seems like a reasonable price. (This is an Edo/Mitchell vacuum DG with heading bug for the AP). Does anyone have any feedback (good, bad or...

Tell me what you think about this issue: I flew 4443H ('79 Mooney 201) Saturday morning for a couple of hours. One time during the flight, for about 5 minutes the High / Low voltage light was flickering. It did stop flickering, the ammeter wasn't showing a discharge, and the battery voltage...

Any info about relative cost of a high quality overhaul of an IO520 compared with replacement by a (say) second run IO550? "high quality" means to me, at least, either ECI or Millennium cylinders and a nationally known shop.

Looking to buy a Cessna 150/150 STOL. Lower 48 states only

I would appreciate if someone could steer me to a good picky A+P. I need a pre-buy done on a 172 near RDU Raleigh Durham. It would be even better if it was an IA and things go OK we can turn it into an annual. Mike Z

The left door of my Cessna 172 is warped. I've tried the benign options of using wooden blocks at appropriate places and applying pressure to bend the door. But that didn't get the door back to where it has a tight seal at the lower side (opposite hinges). There's still about 1/2 inch gap between...

Hi all, I'm looking for a couple of trays for a Narco 810 comm. Is the factory the only place to locate one? Thanks Dave

I know that a medical is not needed to fly a glider. Does the same apply to motorgliders? Juan

A friend of mine who is an experienced commercial and airshow pilot, but who is not too internet savvy asked me a question today which I couldn't answer - but I am hoping that someone here can. He is currently looking to sell a brand new custom built aircaft which was built with one specific goal...

I'm looking for a PDA program that will do wifi to allow duats flight plans to be filed where there is a wireless hotspot like an FBO. Probably would work thru DUATs. Should be heavily template driven so that I only have to fill in a few things. Bill Hale

Welcome to airplane ownership. I strongly suggest you join the type club before turning any blank checks over to your mechanic. What you are seeing may be an easy fix or a common problem that many have seen before. On Tue, 26 Aug 2003 20:17:00 -0400, "Wayne" wrote: ...

Does anyone have this setup where the 396/496 (particularly the 496) is in their panel hooked up through an RS232 cable to a 430 or 530? I saw a post by Mikem with very good specifics on the pin-outs but I have a couple of questions: 1) Does the 496 pick up the inputted flight plan/route from...

Just a guess but EEPROM can be very slow indeed. Depending on the exact part number, it may not even be possible to change a single location in the chip. This means that you have to read the entire contents (or a large part) of the chip, change the value you need to update and then write it all...
