Voltage Regulator replacement by
kontiki
Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old
mechanical type for a 50 amp generator) with a new solid state
type by Zeftronics? CHief aircraft sells them, just wondering
what anyone's experience was.
Mine is old, acting up and charging too high. In the old days I
guess you could...

Flying without FAA medical or insurance by
Doodybutch
Last year, an acquaintance of mine turned 85 and stopped flying and sold his
airplane. He just figured that he had done it long enough and he wasn't as
sharp as he used to be. He flew a lot right up until he sold his plane and
he was quite experienced. I suspect for private reasons that he had...

New Cessna panel by
C J Campbell
Yesterday I saw the new Cessna Nav III package for the 2004 182s and 206s.
It is a Garmin 1000 system with battery backup (not certified for part 135
IFR, though). At last Cessna enters the 21st century.

Aerospace Logic CHT+EGT vs EI/JPI EMS by
EridanMan
Hey Guys,
I was wondering if any of you had thoughts about the suitability of
Aerospace Logic CHT+EGT gauges as a substitute for a dedicated multibar
EMS for LOP operations.
While obviously I'd be missing out on all the "cool" features, the
aerospace logic gauges would give me Hottest Cylinder...

Advice on buying a 152? by
rajek
I'm considering buying a 1978 Cessna 152 that the owner is leasing to a
flying club. I'd continue to lease it to the club and learn to fly in
it. (I have 3 1/2 hours now.) I'd hope that plane to earn enough money
to cover most of its maintenance and insurance, including a new engine
in a few...

AIRNAV not publishing fuel prices... by
Victor
.... of new FBOs. Apparently they will only publish prices for FBOs
that have a subscription with them. Of course they own the web site so
it is their choice to do whatever they like. But it didn't use to be
this way. Previously AIRNAV would encourage reporting fuel prices on
all airports free of...

Piper doors, why the passenger side? by
Nathan Young
First off, this isn't a post to argue the merits of one-door vs.
two-doors, so if you want to do that, start your own thread... :)
Why does Piper put the door of the plane on the passenger side? I
cannot think of one good reason. Would like to hear the group's
opinions.
OTOH, I can think of...

Apollo Flybuddy Loran Replacement by

Now that I have a worthless Flybuddy in my panel I'm trying to decide
the best way to replace it. I've used a Garmin 296 as my first choice
for navigation but it was always nice to have the "Loran" as a back-up

Software to write to PCMCIA datacards? by
Charles[_1_]
I'd like to update the database for my Apollo GX55 GPS. $120 for the
raw data is bad enough, but Jeppesen also wants $150 for a writer. The
datacard is a PCMCIA card, so wouldn't it be possible to work with it
with a plain old laptop or a $10 reader from Best Buy? I'm wondering
if someone has...
