Skycraft Landing Light Installation Pix by
Jay Honeck
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/skycraft_landing_lights.htm
The pictures don't capture all the nitty gritty details of the
installation. A couple of things to note:
1. The wiring does NOT go inside the wings, but is rather routed inside
a flexible conduit that gets attached to the wing ahead of the...

Tossing factory EGT, replacing with JPI or similar by
Ben Jackson
I understand that if I had a CHT, and it had a redline (I don't have one
at all, probably because the PA-24 doesn't have cowl flaps) I would need
to keep my CHT or get something certified to be a primary CHT.
Are there any rules regarding EGT? The one I have is pretty useless. It's
an analog...

Baron issues by
Viperdoc
Well, in three days of flying a long cross country to West Texas from
Wisconsin, my autopilot went nuts in the roll axis- wouldn't capture flight
director or heading bug info, and just tried to do uncommanded turns.
Altitude and pitch worked fine.
Suspected a bad roll servo- could be driver...

will cost .7 AMU's to repair. We were looking to maybe replace it with
a KX155 (14 volt), preferably w/o the glidescope. Does anyone have an
idea on where we might find one for a reasonalble price? Any advise

Recording Hobbs by
BG
Does anyone use a PDA to record in a small spreadsheet the departure
airport, your destination airport, and the Hobbs & Tach readings when
you land? If so, what would be the brand and the main features of the
PDA? Thanks

Vertical card compasses by
Dan Luke
If you have one, how do you like it? Do you ever notice that it does not
return to the same indication when the airplane returns to the same
heading (hysteresis error)? IOW, if you turn from 090 to 180 and back to
090 according to the HI, would your VCC come all the way back to 090, or
would it...

prop seal by
Jim Burns
Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a
bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is
over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that
while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...

PS Engineering by
Hankal
So many times we hear of poor service from some our supplies.
This is the time to tell about excellent service and immediate turn around.
My problem was with my intercom from PS Engineering. I had a constant noise in
my headset. After one phone call and an email I sent the unit to PS Engineering

Aircraft Tugs by
[email protected]
I recently became a first time aircraft owner and I'm quickly realizing
that with the uneven pavement on the ramp to my hanger, and the 2600lb
empty weight of the plane, I'm going to have to resign to getting some
form of aircraft tug.
Looking at the Sporty's catalog, there are two types listed,...

Tire tread wear vs inflation pressure by
Ben Jackson
I discovered when I bought my plane that pretty much every aircraft tire
I had ever seen was underinflated. The manual calls for 42psi in the
mains on my plane, and if you can see even the slightest sidewall
squishiness they're down in the low 30's and at the end of a month they're
down below...

Electronic Pilots Log? by
Ian Leslie
Hi All,
Is there some software that will record your piolts log elcetronically, Free
or shareware. Ideally it will compute leg lenghts (as crow flies from ICAO
airport codes)
If anyone can tell me it would be a great help.
Yours hopefully,

Beat up / worn out Arrow valuation by
Chuck
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...

at Mobile Downtown Airport.

It took 3-1/2 weeks and, according to their manager, went 90% over their
labor estimate. He is somewhat in shock about how long it took--it was
