A student has an Archer II that has a red arc painted on the glass of the tach between 2150 and 2350 RPM. The POH makes no mention of a red arc. I'm thinking that either the tach came out of an Arrow (which has a red arc in this range) or some A&P confused the Archer with an Arrow and painted it...

Hi all; I'm wondering if anybody here has any experience with "Aircraft Paint & Prep Booth" at the Corona airport in Southern California. How was their work? Did it hold up over time? Also, someone has told me there's a good paint shop at the Sebring, FL airport, but couldn't remember its name. ...

Bought myself a new headset for Christmas. I expected it to just be a new toy, but I was amazed at the increase in understandability. Lets face it, like many pilots looking retirement age in the eye, my hearing ain't what it used to be. Previously, when I got into a plane, I would automatically...

I have a friend with a Ercoupe whose steering knuckle/assembly has been worn to where it is too sloppy. It's about 2.20 inches in diameter and rotates on the nose strut assy. It's what the scissors are attach to. It either needs to be bushed or trued up and add a bearing sleeve to the mating...

I got an old NARCO LRN-840 LORAN-C that I want to reanimate. Sadly I only got the unit itself, no manuals or cables. What I need is a pinout of the rear card-edge connector and informations about what voltage it requires etc. If someone has a manual as pdf or any other electronic format it would be...

Agree that you have to get back in the air and it s/b w/ a CFI. My 1st post-crash flight was in a new plane as the previous one was destroyed. Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

After years away from it, I'm in a position where I can think about getting an airplane. I want to be able to travel with it, not just fly around the patch. I'm a PP-ASEL with about 170 hours in 172/Warrior/Tiger-class aircraft. I'd love to build, but my work has me away from home constantly, so...

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! -- Thomas...
