AOPA Credit Card scam by
George Patterson
AOPA warns that someone is trying the scam of spamming pilots saying that MBNA
needs for them to verify their account info. These mails are not from MBNA. Do
not click on the link.
This, by the way, is true of every similar scam. No legitimate company will send
you mail asking for account info by...

Rotating Beacon vs. Flashing Beacon by
Mike Rapoport
My upper rotating beacon has stopped rotating and I am debating whether to
overhaul it or replace it with one of the new Whelen flashing beacons. The
flashing beacons are all solid state with no moving parts but cost $800 and
I am also concerned about noise since the beacon is located a few...

First Purchase Price Question by
Carl Orton
Hi, All;
Have looked at some a/c for sale, and have found one I'm interested in.
The bird has not been flown in over two years, and is out of annual.
The owner said that he would have an annual done before quoting me a price;
guess he figures it will be worth more as a result. This was one of...

Cost to install IFR GPS in a basic IFR 172? by
C Kingsbury
Googling the group yielded little so here goes...
1979 172, overall average condition with mostly original radios and
wiring (one RT-385 recently replaced by a TKM radio, M1 Loran from a
few centuries ago)
The Cessna 300 ADF has gone flaky. The box tests fine on the bench
which suggests a wild...

Updating KLN 94 - Parallels Mac OS X by

Has anyone been successful in updating a Honeywell Bendix-King KLN 94
(or 89/B) database via "direct cable connection" from the computer to
the KLN94's serial port using an Intel Apple Mac running Windows under
Parallels? The Mac doesn't have a serial port so it is necessary to use

Lycoming O-360 ring gear by

Hey all. Now that my holiday travels are over, I'm planning to do some
maintenance to my Cherokee. The ring gear has gotten chewed up over time, and now
will sometimes not disengage while the starter is rolling it over. Worn/broken teeth,
etc. I was pretty sure it was a 122-tooth model, but...

In-Flight Engine Failure by
O. Sami Saydjari
Well, it happended. I have owned the plane (Piper Turbo Arrow III) for
3 months and the engine failed during climb out on Tuesday. Altitude
was 4400 feet. Luckily, the engine did not entirely quit and I made it
to an airport within 10 miles. TBO was 1000 hours away. Dissapointing!

Avoiding Shock Cooling in Quick Descent by
O. Sami Saydjari
My engine operating manual (for my Piper Turbo Arrow III) strongly
discourages pulling the power back and doing a quick descent -- it warns
of engine-killing shock cooling. Sounds reasonable to me...but it (and
my airplane manual) does not really seem to say how best to do a fast
descent when you...

Least Expensive Plane To Buy and Own by
Michael Adams
I am looking for some input on the least expensive airplanes to own. I've
heard so many horror stories about the $5000 or even $15,000 annual, or the
seat adjuster that costs $600, that I thought I would get some input on this
before buying. So I'm looking for low purchase price (used), low...

"Speed" tape? by
Jay Honeck
At Reno, all the Formula One and Sport class racers had every single
non-aerodynamic gap covered with clear tape.
Which got me to thinking, there are LOTS of non-aerodynamic gaps on my
Pathfinder.
The stuff looks like basic, clear packing tape. Anyone used this stuff? Is
there any benefit at...

cost of ownership by
The Weiss Family
I know this has been asked a million times, but I have to ask just one more
time.
I would love to know your real-world costs of ownership for your fixed gear
single.
A 172, cherk 180, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how much renting I have to do before it becomes
plausible to own.
Any advice as to...

Piper SB No 836 (alluminum wire replacement) by
Mike Noel
I need to replace the aluminum wiring in my Archer with new copper cables.
Spruce is selling Bogart replacement cables for $289 which seems a bit steep
for the amount of cable and connectors involved. I understand Piper has a
description of the parts and technique for doing the replacement, but...

Best replacement for old Cessna navcom? by
Colin Kingsbury
Because a topic like this never gets too old ;)
1979 172 with original Cessna (RT-385 IIRC?) radios, the NAV frq display on
the #1 box failed and the partners now finally agree it's not worth
repairing.
I'm contemplating two options:
1. Replace with a slide-in replacement like the TKM series,...

flaps by
Kobra[_4_]
Aviators,
My wife and I flew to Williamsburg (JGG) in our 177RG on Sat. and stayed
until Sunday.
On base at Williamsburg I noticed that the airspeed was really high. I
raised the nose and pulled some power. I had 20 degrees of flaps in and
that is what I usually land with. On final the...
