Last allotment of my T6 videos. Kinda saved the best for last. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc2cua16euk The focus of this video is the tightness of the formations and the precision All shots were with the camera were zoomed out and as you can see I could barely get one plane in the picture,...

Good day, I understand that the seized aircraft that are used for drug running are often sold or auctioned. I am particularly interested in Cessna 172's. Does anybody have any contact or website details on these aircraft? A collegue of mine who I have lost contact with bought a King Air from this...

Hey all... awhile back I posted querying on spark plug replacements, but I have no actually looked at the plugs I currently have. I thought they were Champions, but they're actually Auburn ER400 SR-88. From the chart he http://tinyurl.com/arqcv (warning: PDF at lycoming) those plugs should...

Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably 110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary. The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...

This article pretty much describes the differences between the two airplanes and points up the issues that I have with the Cirrus. http://www.airplanenoise.com/articles/Skylane%20vs.%20Cirrus.pdf -- Christopher J. Campbell World Famous Flight Instructor Port Orchard, WA

I was speaking with a somewhat smug fellow the other day who claimed older C-182's (1968 that I'm looking at) had inefficient wings and that the Continental would not make it to 1500 hours; 1300 if I'm lucky. (The one I'm looking at has 61 SMOH; about 5000 total; new paint, interior, etc.). As...

With an 85-lb jet engine, I should be able to come up with a two-seater, single engine glider that would be much more affordable and efficient than the eclipse jet. This plane would be ideal for pilot/owners who want to fly cross-country in their own jet. Forget 3.6 million, or 850000 dollar price...

A friend of mine inherited a Terra TX 760D in the Citabria he recently bought. The radio is now giving him trouble. While Terra is out of business, Star Avionics in CHA works on these and can get parts. He wants to know if anyone has any experience with these radios, and if so, are they worth...

We're planning to fly into West Yellowstone airport (WYS) in a Grumman AA-5 Traveler with stock engine. The landing and takeoff will be about 200lb under gross and we plan to take off in early morning. Densitiy altitude is of course a major concern. Has anyone flown to that airport in similar...

Hello fellow flyers, My apologies in advance if this is boring. This is my very first attempt at making a video of any kind. Give it a look and all comments are welcome. BTW, I already know I didn't hold the centerline on lift-off (embarrassed look). ALieb noticed that right away. I had a...

No technician in his right mind would put a part in an airplane that does not have traceablity. yes you Do need a yellow serviceable tag. Or better yet an 8130. It amazes me what some of you owners do on your airplanes.....You cannot legally install that if you dont have an A&P. Joe

Hi all. I'm a current student pilot(PPSEL) and I have been reading up on the new sport pilot/LSA stuff that has come about. My interest, like most potential pilots, is to eventually own an aircraft, but that will be several years down the road. However, the new Light Sport Aircraft class caught...

I got an old NARCO LRN-840 LORAN-C that I want to reanimate. Sadly I only got the unit itself, no manuals or cables. What I need is a pinout of the rear card-edge connector and informations about what voltage it requires etc. If someone has a manual as pdf or any other electronic format it would be...

I have a Hoskins "Symbolic Displays Inc" strobe with White lens and need a Red lens to replace it. The strobe is mid 80's and was a replacement for the older rotating beacons. It is a Hoskins P/N701620-1. Works great just need the Red lens that was available back then but very hard to find today....

On our flight to Nevada, I was impressed with the smoothness and car-like predictability of Jim Burns' start-up technique with his Lycoming IO-540s. Jim had a way to start them that I'd not seen demonstrated before, which I will describe he 1. Fuel pump on 2. Electric primer on for (a few?)...

I have a friend with a Ercoupe whose steering knuckle/assembly has been worn to where it is too sloppy. It's about 2.20 inches in diameter and rotates on the nose strut assy. It's what the scissors are attach to. It either needs to be bushed or trued up and add a bearing sleeve to the mating...

At the last annual, we replaced the 3" scat tube in our 74 Cherokee 140 Cruiser that runs from the nose cowling to the carb air box. The old one was getting tattered and had several small pinholes in it. It ran fine all summer and fall. About 2 months ago, I went out to fly the beast. It fired up,...
