This is a copy of an RFD regarding the possible removal of the newsgroup rec.aviation.anwers. Discussion should occur in news.groups.proposals, and the Followup-To header has been set to that newsgroup. ====================================================================== ...

In my previous posts, I described what appeared to be random signal lock losses with my new 396. Changing everything did not help. I got the dealer to swap the unit with a new one and I upgraded the software to the latest level. It appeared to work well for over 2 months, however, it started...

Does anyone have a reccommendation where to get a pre purchase inspection and annual for a Bell 47 helicopter in southern New Jersey

Hello, This message is to serve two purposes: 1) to warn people about the business practices of MBNA bank (who provides credit card services to AOPA "aircraft owners and pilots association" customers), and 2) to find out if others have had as much trouble as me. Recently, I've found the payment...

Hello, I've noticed during a flight the other day to Columbus that our Mode C was reading high... by about 250 feet. The altimeter seems to be indicating fine as on the ground, with the correct altimeter setting, it shows the correct altitude. As well, flying the ILS, i make a habit to check the...

T-hangar with lights. Available early October. $45,000. Remove the obvious to contact me:

I am looking at picking up a pair of C-50 Black Knight or C-40-10 Red Baron headsets for the back seats. I don't want to be too cheap but I don't want to spend a ton of money on headsets for the occasional PAX. It is looking like they would be a pretty good alternative to the good sets. ...

Couple of questions. Went up to practice some ILS approaches. While being vectored for my approaches, my DG kept sticking through the 270 heading. First time on my initial approach and the second approach. Third and fourth approaches, DG acted normal, though seem a little off compared to the...

The March of Dimes is currently holding an online auction for an unbelievable opportunity - Especially for flying enthusiasts! This auction will allow someone to fly first class from their home, have dinner with top Continental and Boeing executives, stay at the Renaissance in Seattle, tour the...

I have a Cessna 172F with the Lycoming O-360 conversion and a C/S speed prop. My oil temperatures are always low. I pulled the probe and place in in a can of oil heated to 180 degrees and had a calibrated thermometer beside it. I marked the meter in the plane so I know where this temperature...

Does anybody know, or know how to find out what the factory "standard" avionics package was on a 1978 Grumman AA5B "Tiger"? Eddie

Speaking of the S-Tec 60-2, I am transitioning to a Bonanza V35B that is equipped with this AP. The previous owner demonstrated an idiosyncrasy with the AP that I would like to correct, if possible. Using the AP to hold VSI, the aircraft is in a climb. Upon reaching the assigned altitude, I push...

"Dick" wrote in message ... Staring at my empty instrument panel while considering which instruments and their placement, I got wondering how old time Mail pilots flew if caught in IFR conditions. On my project...

Hi, just one question. It's not clear from what I found - is KDR-510 just a VDL Mode 2 RECEIVER?! For more than $5000 that's not much of functionality. Anyone has service/installation manual? I'd like to have a look. Just digging through ATN and VDL2,3,4 specifications :-) If it's just a...

I received my insurance update information today for my RV-6. My policy is a "named pilot" only policy, which means Patty Wagstaff or Sean Tucker wouldn't be insured on it unless they were approved by the insurance company and added to the named pilot list. Fair enough - I'm the ONLY pilot on my...

Thanks BTIZ. "new pistons and rings" Do you know if the piston change increased the compression ratio or changed the displacement? or was the change simply necessary to handle the increased RPMs? I believe that Lycon has been working on a STC for several years that would increase the...

Anyone have one of these? Mine was inop when I got the plane and I now have it operating (well, at least lighting up) and don't have an operators manual. I tuned in the ILS freq and don't get any distance. If I pull the knob, I get an "RMT error". I have not been in the air yet with the unit,...

I've been trying to find this part on-line without much luck. It is listed in the Piper parts manual as 455151 but also referred to as 6041H105A. It's the relay mounted along side the battery box. My Archer has been cranking rather slowly even after replacing a dying G-35 with a new RG-35AXC...

We are upgrading the McCaully three piece main wheels and brakes on our 1977 172 N because of the unavailability of a brake cylinder that went bad. If you are faced with the same $2300 upgrade because of a cracked wheel or bad brake cylinder, we will shortly have the whole set, with one bad...
