I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the airwolf oil filter system , and your thoughts on the oil filter as opposed to the screen.

I know that this has been beaten to death, and I have searched the archives, but I'm trying to narrow my specific case down a little bit. I have a Cherokee with factory-installed wing tip strobes. I have an original (1977) King Silver Crown avionics package, including audio panel, KX170Bs, etc. ...

I have an old COM 11A that died. Need schematic to troubleshoot it. If anyone has one that can be emailed, it would be appreciated. I have some schematics that I can exchange.

Well it looks like it's about time to replace the old KNS-80 RNAV. That thing has had a lot of use, it's getting old, and it's been in the shop a number of times. Currently the frequency selector appears to need cleaning, but I'm not sure how long it has left. So, I'm looking into a certified GPS...

Hi all, I have posted three times, regarding the radio problems, that have seemed impossible to identify root cause...

My plane's artificial horizon - which was overhauled just a few months ago at a well-known shop - has headed south again. Since it's got a lot of hours on it now (and at least one overhaul, maybe more), I suspect it may be beyond saving and I could be looking at getting a new one. If I do need...

I am now able to reproduce my charging problem. Engine off, Bat and Alt on: Bus voltage: 24.8 Supply to Voltage Regulator: 22.6 Voltage Regulator Output to Alt Field: 21.6 I'm thinking maybe I should rig a jumper from Bus to the Voltage regulator to see if the problem has to do with that 2.2v...

I like the visibility of the flashing landing light...they really get your attention. The Pulsar unit sold by Spruce for about $320 (single light, mosfet, variable speed) is the only one I've seen advertised. They say 30 minute install for an under panel mount. They also say you simply need...

Usually the hand on my ammeter bounces for a few moments while taxing and then settles down at about 20 amps. Yesterday it continued to be erratic with a few calm moments with the hand indicating 10 amps. The ammeter has 1976 stamped on the back. Do these things ever wear out? Is there any way...

Just wondering if anyone has some experience on the above subject. I'm looking at building up some time (500 hours or more) within the next couple of years. My two options are to buy an older 172/Arrow etc or just to keep renting which is very expensive. If I can find a decent airplane, in the...

I was talking to a fellow pilot last night about cleaning plexiglass and he suggested using something called Mirror Glaze as a way to get out minor scratchiing and crazing (or just for a good cleaning). Up to this point I have only used Plexus or similar products to do our windows. Has anyone...

I seem to recall that my portable 02 system said something about not being about to go above 20,000 feet with it. This does not present a problem with my Turbo Arrow since that represents its service ceiling. Now, I am contemplating a Cessna Turbo 310 R and I am wondering whether the 02 will be...

http://w3n-a.blogspot.com/2008/12/secondary-stall.html This stall is called a secondary stall since it may occur after a recovery from a preceding stall. It is caused by attempting to hasten the completion of a stall recovery before the airplane has regained sufficient flying speed. When this...

Hi, I'm looking for ideas on how to best clean the belly of my plane. It's a Cherokee and is pretty greasy/grimy/dirty underneath. I'm hoping to find something I can buy from a non-aviation source (like a supermarket or auto parts store), and it would be Great if I didn't need any water. TIA for...

Flyers, This is just a quick flying story some might be interested it. My plane ('71 Cardinal RG) just came out of annual with a newly over-hauled prop and hub. The mechanic and I test flew the plane around the pattern.

In 1984 Beech did a major upgrade to the panel on A-36 Bonanzas and B-58 Barons, getting rid of the high-mounted throttle quadrant and control column boom and installing a conventional throttle quadrant and individual control columns. Beech didn't make this change to the F-33 Bonanza or the B-55...

I have the Zulu and the Bose. I like my Bose but Zulu wins hands down. Whereas, both have good noise reduction, Zulu is noticeably better in blocking out the noise. The Zulu has the bluetooth that syncs with the cel phone. Bose doesn't. Very handy when making a call from the ground or low...

Going to over haul my 0-200A... why... cosmetically it looks dirty and ugly... any one have any ideas to prepare for paint glass bead blasticing as a option...engine has 1100 SMOh and should go another few hours to TBO -1800hrs for this type engine...

(I decided to move this to a separate thread since its a bigger issue than engine TBO.) Matt...I read the Avweb article. The author correctly notes that whether its a car or plane, you should always insist on seeing or discussing the problems with the mechanic so there are no surprises later....

Hello, I have a 59 Bellanca Cruisemaster that has a Mitchell Executive autopilot in it. To engage the autopilot, you push in a knob on the left side of the panel just left of the vsi and below the ai. When engaged it would roll left at about a 20 degree bank, so I adjusted the autopilot trim knob...
