C-182's to avoid? by
Alan Browne
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...

Rear passenger legroom in arrow by
Dahlin
I currently fly a 1969 140 and am considering buying an Arrow. Is there
more leg room for rear passengers in the Arrow than the 140? Is there a
difference in the pre 72 and post 72 Arrows with the longer fuselage as far
as legroom. I'm tall and need the seat back which doesn't leave any leg...

Piston V.S Turbo Prop by

Any one have any sales advice on piston twins v.s turbo prop twins. I'm
currently in the process of aquiring a charter buisness that operates 2

Tiny vacuum pump by
Jim Weir
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...

PA28 Low Voltage Light by
Dave
Hi people,
Our PA28 has developed a problem. The Low Voltage indicator keeps
coming on. The engineer has replaced the Voltage Regulator which didn't
solve the problem at all. Then he changed the Overvolt relay. I flew it
for 50 minutes with no problems and then the next time I took it up

equipment list? by
Tim
What is required as far as a formal equipment list for part 91
operations? In reading 91.205 and listening to one instructor I know, I
cannot reconcile what he says with the FARs. He states that an aircraft
must have an equipment list. I cannot find an equipment list for the
plane I fly...

A strange richness... by

On our flight to Nevada, I was impressed with the smoothness and

Lycoming IO-540s. Jim had a way to start them that I'd not seen
demonstrated before, which I will describe he

winch pull of plane into hanger by

I am back to pulling the warrior back into the hanger with a winch. I
tried modifying a small briggs and stratton powered "mule" to the
cherokee towbar attachment but could not get the control I wanted.
So now, I need the experience of anyone else who has rigged up a winch
with extended control. ...

Landing lights, incandescent, halogen and Xenon HID by
The Visitor
I have finally got my wing tips painted and on my Seneca, they have the
hid lights in them. I had the Piper wingtip recognition lights before,
35 watters, not good enough to show a light in daylight.
My attention is now turning towards my actual landing lights. These are
located on the nosegear...

Priming the engine and Mag check questions by
JDupre5762
A person told me it is better to push the primer slowly rather
then quick shots.
Slower is better on pulling out the primer as this allows the primer cylinder
to draw in all the fuel it can take. Pushing the charge in quickly is probably
best as the velocity may help in atomizing the...

jet powered personal glider by
[email protected]
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...

Question on Owner Produced Interior parts by

I was reading on http://150cessna.tripod.com about owner

Finally: The right-sized Thielert by
Thomas Borchert
Thielert has announced a diesel engine in the 230-HP-range, covering
the gap between the existing 135- and 350-HP models. Great news, IMHO,
since this is the kind of power many of the planes we fly need. First
target for certification seems to be the 182. Time frame is 2007. Nice!
