I managed to get some 1300L contact cement on the windshield of my Helio Courier while reattaching the vinyl to the glareshield. Does anyone know if I can use "adhesive remover" on an acrylic windshield without causing crazing? Any other suggestions? Thanks! Mike MU-2

A while ago I posted about an incurable oil leak in my '79 TR-182. Turned out to be rings. Decided to get a top overhaul. Now I am breaking in the new cylinders. On one hand I've been told, in capital letters, "DO NOT BABY THE ENGINE" On the other jand I've been told to maintain CHT of 325-350,...

WIth 4 hours on the fresh top overhaul I decided it was time to balance the prop as we removed the weights when sending the props out for new studs... I was delayed a bit at my monthly meeting down in Grand Blanc and got back to the airport at a quarter to one... The Kid was chomping at the bit......

I heard recently that a 1965 Comanche 260 is the fastest of the Comanche 260s (by about 5 nts). Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone have a favorite year for Comanche 260s in terms of performance or capability? -Sami -- Cyber Defense Agency, LLC - Defending Critical Cyberspace O. Sami Saydjari

I am currently taking flying lessons. I would like to own my own aircraft and have been considering various options. I am currently training in a 152 and I think a 150 or 152 would be a fun first plane to build time with. The 150/152's that appear to be in good condition seem to be in the 35k range...

I've seen plenty of pireps on the Garmin 396, but is anybody using the FlightPrep software with the Motion Computing tablet and XM Weather/GPS/Electronic Flightbag options?? Also, is there any software/hardware combination when using a laptop or tablet that can take advantage of the XM Radio...

A little longish - sorry. Oshkosh question from a first timer: Staying at the dorm, will have car available - if needed. I want to sit on a (2) regular stackable plastic deck chairs and watch planes depart after the air show, etc - I heard this is the real show g. Two chairs works good for me,...

My autopilot has started fighting with me, and I'm afraid it's going to win. It's a 3-axis KAP140 in a Skyhawk SP. What it's doing is ... well, it just starts turning. After about an hour, it goes into a turn, unannounced. There doesn't seem to be anything instigating it. It's usually to the...

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!!!!

I was wondering if it is possible to remove the ethanol from mogas and thought of the folling idea. Alcohol binds with water. Get a big tank with a spigot at the bottom, fill it with mogas. Add water, aggitate, let sit. The alcohol ladden water will settle to the bottom. Open the spigot, drain the...

I am thinking about relocating from Illinois to Ohio with my plane. Are there any suprises I need to be aware of like hidden taxes, state fees, etc regarding aircraft ownership? Bob

Had a potentially bad experience in my Archer tonight. Wife and I flew to dinner and returned to the home port about 5:20. Airport normally is open till sunset (which is 5:07 tonight) but as we taxied in, the lights in their cars went out and they came walking to my plane. I store in the big...

Our Aztec's door seal needs replacing. I'm wondering how many people go the inflatable route and what their experience has been. Would you do it again? Does it block noise and air better than the standard seal? Does it push the door away from the frame or cause too much pressure against the...

I am a member of a 3-way partnership in a Cessna 206. We have just purchased a SureFire preheater. The source is available at: http://www.crystal-airways.com/surestart/surefire.asp It uses small camping style propane bottles which are readily available at Wal-mart or other retailers. They do not...

After sending my Lycoming AEIO-540 to the factory for a mandatory repair it has finally returned. At Oshkosh this year the people at the Lycoming booth swore it would take only two weeks, but when the actual paperwork arrived everything said one month in the shop. It ended up taking a little over...

Hello all. I know it's been awhile since I updated, but progress has been slow. Here's where we're at: Last weekend: - Pulled valve covers, rockers, pushrods, exhaust. - Pushed on valves and were unable to feel any sticking like there was the last time we definately had sticking valves. Decided...
