All the experts I read on this board are either for or against Synthetics or Semi Synthetics. But most seem to take as Gospel the words of a Guy (Mechanic or FBO) who makes a LOT of money from fixing your Engines. Do you think po poing a product is based on good will or business sense? I would...

Warning! Danger! Shameless Self-Promotion! After four years of preparation and two years of work, the "Oshkosh Suite" -- our 17th aviation theme suite -- is finally complete! With 24 consecutive Oshkosh Fly-Ins under our belts, we *knew* from the moment we bought the hotel in '02 that we...

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...

A propeller set for BT-13 or T6 (6101A-12 52" length) was stolen from my grandfathers ( a WWII Vet )workshop within the last two days @ Sikorsky airport in Ct . If anyone is approached or might otherwise hear about these blades, please contact me. Please keep a watch on Ebay and Classifieds....

On the Garmin site, it looks like the "City Select" CD set has been replaced by the "City Navigator" CD set. There is no price listed for City Select, but there are prices for City Navigator. Are they different products or is this a replacement? Some avionics shops are selling kits with the...

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 the plane. Thus, instead of squawking "1200" when we're VFR, we're squawking...

For a Piper Seneca, there is a special tool used to align the prop de-ice brushes. According to API, that tool is no longer available. Is there an A&P out there with one of these plastic jigs in your tool box. If so, can I impose upon you to FAX me a tracing outline of the tool so that I can...

Hi, I am thinking about getting a small air compressor for my hangar, any suggestions what to look for (dry vs wet pump, gal. capacity, CFM rating, etc.). I expect light, occasional use - tire & strut inflation, some drilling, fiberglass grinding, small-scale painting (fairing repair, etc.) and...

UPDATED VERSION. Even if you read this before, you should read it again since I UPDATED it with more EXPLOSIVE DETAILS about these UNDERCOVER FBI and NSA PSYCHOPATHS. FBI PUSSIES went and INTERROGATED a 14 yr old WHITE girl pulling her from her classroom in california for posting a picture with...

We've recently purchased one of the Air Gizmos mounts for our Garmin 296. I've seen it installed in another Cessna and spoken with the owner who says no field approval is needed for this product. Our A&P, who is a stickler for the rules(and rightly so if you ask me), says this product requires a...

I am looking at pruchasing an A36. I am 6'3" with a fair amount of my height in my torso. I sat in the A36 and found that my head hit the ceiling, even without a headset. I found this interesting, as I have fit in every plane I've flown. Most of my time is in Sundowner, Cherokee 180, Seneca...

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...

Could someone please explain how to go about using the 396 as an auto gps? I have Mapsource on my pc. I need a general process.... like.... download this.... install this map.... Thanks.

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...

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...
