I am back to pulling the warrior back into the hanger with a winch. I tried modifying a small briggs and stratton powered "mule" to the cherokee towbar attachment but could not get the control I wanted. So now, I need the experience of anyone else who has rigged up a winch with extended control. ...

I went for my class 3 medical and came up with 20/50 visual due to a cataract. This of course blew the physical. I went to the ophthalomologist and he said "lets do it". The surgery went well and I am coming back to 20/20. The doctor doing the class 3 notified the Aerospace Medical Certification...

I had my plane painted recently, he did a decent job except for allowing his masking to slip on all windows and windscreen. This allowed the stripper to damage (cloud) spots on the plexiglas. It appears to have penetrated the plastic so the damage may be deep rather than a surface problem. Now -...

Warrior Windows. A few weeks ago I asked if anyone has had any experience polishing out damage to plexiglas windows caused by a sloppy painter who got paint stripper on the plastic. No one has so I will answer my own question. No, the penetration is deep enough that the remedy will be...

Is anyone aware of statistical or other data that would indicate what percentage of engines make it well beyond the factory specified TBO, and how much longer they can be flown safely? I worry about sudden engine failure due to metal fatigue. Many of the small Lyc. engines have a TBO of around...

The thread on how often your plane gets washed got me thinking, what brand of wax does everyone use?

CAN YOU HELP? OBJECT OF ENQUIRY: I'm seeking proof that either/both the transatlantic pioneers Sir John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown stayed at the `Red House', West Byfleet, near Weybridge, Surrey at or around the time of their flight in June 1919. If proof can be found, there is a strong...

Is it legal for a sport or commercial pilot in the US to rent a Yak-52 aerobatic plane for unassisted flight cross country? I guess these can only be certified currently for exhibition/airshow. Is that likely to change given they are still manufactured in Romania? -- W

Our club just received our newest 172. The previous owner put a decal on the door advertising his company and we would like to remove it without harming the paint. Any suggestions?

Check the fuel flow on idle with and without Fuel Pump on. Walter "Peter" a écrit dans le message de news: ... IO-540-C4, Socata TB20 Just got this today. Landed, taxied off the runway, and before doing the post-landing...

Can an AP/IA person legally install and sign off a VFR Nav/Comm radio in a certified aircraft, given that he has all the needed technical knowledge needed to do this, or is a 'certified radio shop' required somewhere in the paperwork process? How about an IFR installation? (not counting the...

I'm looking for installation schematics for the TKM MX 300 Nav/Comm. I see lots of vendors for this radio, but can't seem to find the TKM website. Thanks in advance

Probably a silly question, but what are the pros and cons of air Vs Nitrogen filling of the oleo struts. Just how much of a problem would be the humidity be if they are filled with air. Given the environmental temperatures would probably never get below freezing Its for a Cherokee 235. Also...

Trying to judge which will be more expensive at annual. A newer 172R or S, or going very used, back to a 172M or N 1974-1979 era. Are there a lot more potential pitfalls and expenses that will continue to add up each year at annual for spending less up front to get an older 172? I assume parts...

Just doing some looking at the difference, or perceived differences between the earlier (1998, 1999, 2000) 172Rs and the 172SPs. And besides the extra kW rating of the same size engine to produce the 180hp (on the SP) over the 160hp (on the R), I can't find much else different. (with the...
