Where can I get one? I looked at places like Aircraft Spruce and found nothing. My panel is cracked and chipped in numerous places. It looks like crap. I know you can buy replacement panels without the holes drilled for chearp. I can take care of the holes.

In a previous article, said: is endless. Does anyone have experience with this gadget? Apparently it opens hydraulically from a solar-charged battery. http://www.planepocket.com Since it's almost certain that you're a shill for the company, maybe you can answer why...

Cessna N734AE VFR Flight with ATC COMS - Video Me acting like a noob as a passenger on todays VFR flight to Brookhaven MS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjmjttvrRN8 An exclusive video probably not to be seen anywhere else on You Tube (that is an aerial shot of the snow cover) The squeals of...

Had the dastardly happen a couple nights ago. Garmin 196, two David Clarks, eyeglasses. In my hangar, too. Looks like a pro job. No vandalism apparent. Plane was unlocked with key in ignition. And left that way by perp(s). The question: Would any of you have an A&P do a thorough check of the bird...

Gang, I am peparing to purchase a Long EZ (a very nice one, at that). While I have the cash, I figure I'm better financing a portion of hte airplane for various reasons (likely 60-70%). Am I going to have difficulty finding a lender for an Experimental category aircraft that is already built and...

How often do you wash your airplane?

My maintenance shop rigged my control surfaces, at my request. The plane 'seemed' to have been flying in a bank, despite having the AI centered and DG on the same track. They found that the flaps were the biggest culprits and adjusted them accordingly. When I flew it and took it up to cruise,...

Hi, I am considering purchase of a nitrogen fill system. I don't have power at my tiedown, and filling the tires with a 12 volt portable compressor is a pain due to having to park the car near the tire, move to the other side, etc. I figgured a nice nitrogen tank system would give me a power free...

Hi! I just started looking at the Piper Lance. It looks nice performance wise (both Turbo and non turbo model) and it looks like a more natural next step for someone like me owning an old Arrow with the retracts than the Cherokee 6's. Anyone got any pros or cons regarding this model? How does...

I have a room in Taylor Hall that I will $hare. Rooms are AIR CONDITIONED in this dorm only. UW-OSH dorms are two miles from the field. Shuttle buses, which run frequently, pick up near to the dorm site. I'm using one of the beds. Other bed (and possible air mattress on floor) is available. Sat...

I'm not sleeping after getting the report grounding my Luscombe 8A after its first annual as my plane. All the advise about a pre-buy inspection is true! I thought my plane was too to do that at a long distance. (My plane came from Georgia, I'm in California). The outboard five feet of the wings...

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

We are based in NE Ohio and looking to overhaul another Archer's engine soon. We had a bad experience recently with core charges from Lycoming and have decided to do a field overhaul on this bird. We would like to fly the bird in so we are looking at companies within a reasonable distance of NE...

I'm taking my PPL and trying to locate a decent/depedable 152 to purchase rather than keep renting.Also how many hours on the TTAF time is too many before problems arise. It seems most flight schools are selling around 9k-10k hours? Any 152 sellers out there? Thanks Jay Nashville TN

It won't help on your 2008 tax return, but this article on aviation taxes talks about some new tax benefits available if you purchase an aircraft in 2009. http://pilotadvice.com/news/aviation-tax-ideas-2009 Does anyone have tax tips that might help aircraft owners in 2008???

I've got a problem with a cowl flap cable in our Aztec. The other day when landing, I opened the cowl flaps to 1/2 on final, then full open after landing. I noticed when going from 1/2 open to full open while on the ground the left cable seemed stiff. I tried closing the flap, then reopening and...

Anyone know...Do I need a Digital to Analog converter to connect my Garmin 396 to my Century Ic? Anyone got any schematics? Does anyone have a setup like this? How efficient is the wing leveler (does it hold a track when slaved to a gps source)? Thanks, Kelly

Sorry about the x-post but didn't know where to ask the question. I guess I've been living under a rock. I wanted to update the VFR GPS in the panel to an IFR model. I started getting quotes on recon GNC 300XLs. The units themselves were about 2,500-3,000. I was shocked to find out that I had...

As you may or may not know, Piper changed their wheel pants (at least on the Warrior) around 1978. IMHO the later model pants are quite a bit nicer/better than the old ones. Now the question is, I own a '75 Warrior. Can I legally put the later model pants on it? If so, what's required in terms...
