Hi, I have a 1967 m20e super 21. It has little for instrumentation and the radio stack is pretty weak. It certainly isn't near IFR. The interior is original and the paint is 5/10. It'll cruise at 130kts 2200 rpm and 23" I'm looking for opinions on whether to upgrade and have a sharp, but old...

I have the opposite problem from the usual "four seats doesn't mean four pax" problem -- I'm looking for an aircraft with typical four-place load (and price) to carry five small passengers and minimal baggage. What aircraft are out there on the used market (including hombuilts!) which can safely,...

Hi, I'm interested to buy a Mooney M20K. But the airfield I use is grass airfield. Do you think that Grass is ok with a M20K or it's dangerous ? Thanks a lot. (I must take a decision in few days ... ) Mike.

If anyone has a wiring diagram for it, I'd sure appreciate it... Darrel Toepfer Eunice, La. 4R7 My return email address is good...

I am completing a top overhaul on a 200 hour "Re-Manufacture" by Chuck Ney Enterprises. The former owner had this process done, and the engine was given a fresh logbook. If you are wondering about the reliability of such engines, ponder the possibility of having to replace all the cylinders at...

Does anyone have any experience towing their airplane with a golf cart? I'm thinking about mounting a ball on the front of a golf cart to move my Bonanza in and out of the hangar. Many thanks. Ashton

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...

Seemed like such a good idea . Save some money by going with cloth upholstery rather than leather when I renovated the interior of my '60 Skylane. And, used a light colored cloth as an added bonus. Big mistake, especially when your most frequent passengers are dogs, even though I do cover the...

I have a KX170B with a faulty coms. I sent it to Honeywell and they sent it back saying unserviceable. So I bought a used one off ebay and it works really well. My question is regarding the Glideslope. I have a glideslope in my original radio but the new one does not. I opened both units up...

The left door of my Cessna 172 is warped. I've tried the benign options of using wooden blocks at appropriate places and applying pressure to bend the door. But that didn't get the door back to where it has a tight seal at the lower side (opposite hinges). There's still about 1/2 inch gap between...

We are working on a 64 M20C Mark21, it does not have the "forward windshield speed mod", still the factory design. There are two panels in front of the windshield on the outside that cover the avionics assembly inside. They have been sealed with silicone so many times that it took us 4 hours...

What is an acceptable CHT in cruise? How hot can one stay in extended cruise flight? I've got 6 new ones and want to take care of them. Thanks in advance. Trip

Group question RE Painting the Plane. I'm located west of Cleveland, Ohio. I've heard good things about Sky Harbour in Goderich Ontario. Any comments or suggestions for good shops closer? Thanks Chuck

Our normally-aspirated Arrow IV is currently in the shop getting a Lycoming factory rebuilt ("zero time") IO-360-C1C6 installed. This is the first time in my 2000 hr. flying career that I have ever had to deal with an engine break-in, so I would welcome advice from the group. Lycoming apparently...

I'm considering to buy Gulf Eagle motor hang-glider. I would appreciate if anyone can share their own experience with that glider.

What does "Turbo Normalized" mean?

Hello. I'm considering a leaseback arrangement with a FBO I know well and trust. I've owned airplanes before, and understand the risks, rewards, and costs. I've talked to people who have had fantastic results with their leaseback, and with others who have had abysmal results. But what I would like...

Landing light circuit breaker 20 amp. Pops after about one minute. I have changed the landing light 4552, changed the CB and thought I had the problem solved. This morning Taxi at 6 am (still dark) I was pleased to have the landing light while in close quarters, then the CB popped. I have checked...
