Can anyone suggest a cause for a slight roughness in a well maintained O-470 (1958 C-182). The mechanic has checked both mags and harness wires and plugs, installed a rebuild carb and balanced the prop (which required very little correction). In flight checks of carb heat, mags and unlocking...

I'd like to get some paint work done on my plane, and I was wondering if anyone has recommended paint shops in the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana area. The plane is a warbird that is mostly bare aluminum. I want to get the insignia, stripes, and wheelwells re-done. Any recommendations would be...

Does anyone know where I can get shielded, twisted pair, digital data wire that meets or exceeds MIL-W-27500? This is for data connections between a KDR-510 datalink receiver and a KMD-550 MFD. Aircraft Spruce does not have this, but they do have paired shielded wire, it's just not twisted.

Well, today I put a deposit on an airplane! It's a 1961 C-175B with an upgrade to an O360 with a constant speed prop. What a sweet plane, always hangared with 2268TT. I only will own 1/3 of it, but the other two partners only flew 200 hours in the last three years total. Can't wait to take her out....

A buddy of mine has found a pair of Cansdale STC'd droop wingtips for his Cherokee. I can find NO information on an STC under the name Cansdale. Has anyone heard of these? Has the STC been sold perhaps? Any information would be appreciated. I would like to install these for my pal, but would...

After weeks of unrelenting, never-ending bad weather, with freezing rain, sleet, fog, snow, high winds, low visibility, and low ceilings, I decided to have the plane annualed early. I mean, what the heck -- the weather has been horrendous anyway, right? Why screw up summer and wait till...

What type of wax do you use on your airplane? I'd like to stay away from the standard "carnuba" type waxes because its a royal pain to buff around all the rivets (its a Cherokee). Any one step polishes out there that don't require the second buffing step? This plane has not been waxed in at...

I was thinking about getting my A&P license to help me become a better aircraft owner and pilot. I know a number of people out there have both and I was curious to hear about your story. For example, have you found it helpful as an owner and/or pilot? Did it take a long time to obtain? What are the...

Well, it's final--as of last Monday, I can post to r.a.OWNing without feeling like I snuck in.... Yep, I am officially an airplane owner!! I flew (airlines) to Hartford last Sunday and finalized the sale on Monday. N2509X is the world's most beautiful aircraft--and, I will brook no argument to...

Gang: One of the wingtip strobes on our 1982 Warrior II looks like it is going bad. Half of it looks black and it only gives one blink per second while the other wing gives two blinks per second. I was perusing the Whelen catalog, and our strobe lamp assembly appears to have a pigtail terminating...

Where can I get a wiring diagram for a Telex TC200 Intercom. I purchased a plane with this intercom installed and have a wiring problem. Thanks much Paul N1431A

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...

Just watched the trailer for Secondhand Lions. http://www.apple.com/trailers/newline/secondhand_lions/shl_trlr_med.html The movie is showing this week at our favorite "Dollar Theater" (Ok - $2) http://riverviewtheater.com/history.cfm The rec.aviation scene is at the end of the Secondhand Lions...

I'm wondering if anyone here owns a Bonanza A36 (or any Bo with a similar wing structure) with high airframe time (10,000 hours)? I ask because my local A&P who rebuilds a lot of wrecked airplanes knows of an A36 that had a nose gear collapse and has been collecting dust in a hangar for the...

I recently took a flight that brought me back in the late evening hours, and in a hurry, I was a little remiss in my checklist of securing the plane after shutdown. Landing light, taxi light, strobes, beacon, nav lights and transponder were all left on, but the master was shut off. A few days...

The FAA has just issued an emergency AD that appears to ground _all_ Beech 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 separation. It only allows a few hours of flight under very strict restrictions to...
