Argus 5000CE question by
Francois Marquis
Hello,
Has anyone have first hand experience with both the Argus 5000 and Argus
5000ce. I know a lot of users have transitioned to the CE, but

My biggest issue is that I sometime deplore the contrast of my 5000
unit,...

T-34 aircraft, all models, until further notice, after confirming that the
Texas Air Aces T-34 that went down a few days ago suffered a wing

restrictions to...

Carb Rebuild -- Suggestions for where to go by
zatatime
I need to get my carb rebuilt. It's a Marvel MA4-5 off an O-540.
Somehow it floods to the point of not running (longer story possibly
in another post). I'd like to find out why this is happening so that
besides just getting an overhaul I actually know it won't flood again.
I don't care if it...

Does anyone know what I would have to do to make a 396 go from an

push a few buttons and put it in the car and get turn by turn car

the resturants and stuff. Or...

Long time reader selling plane by

I started reading these aviation newgroups in 1999 when I learned to

CHT recommendations by
Dude
I had an odd thought while flying yesterday.
Traditionally, we have had CHT info on one cylinder. Now, many planes have
monitors that tell us all 4 or 6 cylinders.
I have been trying to keep all my cylinders under 400 as I believe most of
us are doing. However, I had a thought about that...

Ethanol by

Where is it dictated that certain states/cities require ethanol in their

I've been to the EPA website and get 1000 hits on ethanol, but none

Transponder Problem by

The third digit on my formerly bullet-proof Narco AT-50 transponder has
suddenly started displaying incorrectly for ATC. Specifically, it seems to
be showing as a "4" on their screens, regardless of what we dial it to in
