S-TEC 60-2 audio warning by
Julian Scarfe
I'm confused. I've spent many years flying a Mooney with a KFC200 autopilot
that has an audible disconnect warning. We now have a Twin Comanche in
which we installed an STEC 60-2 a couple of years ago.
Recently, testing the 60-2 pre-flight, I noticed that there was no audio
warning when the...

RV-8 Instructor? by
Skyking
I have a friend in Kingman,AZ who needs some help with
landing his RV-8. Is there anyone near Kingman who could help?
The person would need access to a dual control RV-8 as
the time is not flown off of his airplane yet.
Thanks,
Skyking

Cigarette lighters in 100 series Cessnas and an AD(?) by
Andrew Gideon[_2_]
I vaguely recall someone mentioning to me once that there was an AD
regarding cigarette lighters in Cessna 172s of some vintage. But I've
searched around trying to find this (including at the FAA web site), and
have failed.
Anyone have pointers (or is this perhaps an "urban...

Avgas availability by
Matt Whiting
Anyone seeing any avgas shortages? I just learned that a local airport
(7N1) is out of gas. The FBO has a 10,000 gallon tank and ordered fuel
back in February and still hasn't received it. He ran out yesterday...

Why is LOP (lean of peak) controversial? by
Andrew Gideon
I'm not asking about LOP itself, but why it's so "hot" snicker a topic.
It would seem to be a simple thing to me: the cylinders run at decent
temperatures LOP or they do not. What else is there?
I know at least one person in person, and others from their postings, that
are getting success...

Judge Dismisses Santa Monica Suit by

Limitations of Lemon Pledge by
Jay Honeck
As many of you know, I am a big proponent of using Lemon Pledge to clean an
airplane. It can be used on the Plexiglas safely, and if you spray the
leading edges of the wings with it after each flight, the bugs just swish
right off with little effort.
In fact, that's ALL we have ever washed the...

Sheepskin seat covers save life. by
Kevin
On March 2 1991 a Piper Aztec , N6546Y slammed into the top of Justice
mountain located in North Georgia. Both wings were sheared off by 100
foot high pine trees which took much of the impact force. The fuselage
remained mostly intact from the panel aft. The pilot was trapped in the
cockpit with...

Replacing fuel cut-off valve with non-a/c part??? by
Michael Horowitz
Folks -
I have a '46 Taylorcraft with a leaking fuel cut-off valve. I suspect
the valve stem packing is causing the problem. As this is the third
time I"ve had to address a seep with this original valve, I'd like to
replace it. I believe a ball type valve from the local hardware store
would do the...

Simple & Cheap Tricks for your plane by
Jay Honeck
This thread was actually started on the Cherokee 235/236 owner's group a
couple of days ago, and it was quite interesting and informative. However,
that group is quite small by comparison to rec.aviation -- so I thought I'd
open this topic up for everyone here.
The challenge is this: Post all the...

We got closer this time. We actually had our verbal offer accepted.
That's progress (for this, the 2nd offer we've made on an Arrow).
Things were going well into the weekend. I'd tweaked the prepurchase
agreement from the seller, made plane reservations to fly out and

Heater problem fixed! by
Jim Burns
After troubleshooting the Janitrol heater in our Aztec for the past 3 weeks,
we've finally got it fixed. The problem ended up being a combination of a
bad ignitor (spark plug) and a coked fuel nozzle. One problem no doubt
causing the other problem.
After a new spark plug didn't solve our...

Mary and I just returned from 6 glorious days at Sun N Fun in
