dodged another one! by
Michelle P
Well the latest Lycoming Crank AD is out.
I dodged another one. Looks like 1995 was a good year for IO-540s!
Wonder if I will be so lucky in the future.

Mike Spera
We made a 250NM trip from the Chicago area up to Eagle River, WI this
weekend and it was the first cross country with the new 396. The weather

The battery in my plane (Cherokee 180 - 12 volt) is getting pretty long in
the tooth. Any opinions on replacing it with closed cell battery instead of
the old type with the caps?
Thanks

Tire tread wear vs inflation pressure by
Ben Jackson
I discovered when I bought my plane that pretty much every aircraft tire
I had ever seen was underinflated. The manual calls for 42psi in the
mains on my plane, and if you can see even the slightest sidewall
squishiness they're down in the low 30's and at the end of a month they're
down below...

HID Lighting by
Mike Rapoport
Has anyone installed Xevision HID lighting on their airplane under a 337
approval? How do you like it? Any issues getting approval? I landed my
Helio in the dark yesterday which worked out OK but I would prefer a
reliable landing light!

the Slim Pickens quote "I will get them doors open if it harelips
everybody on Bear Creek!" has any meaning other than the dialog. Any
ideas?

Chad
In my logs I have an A&P/IA's certificate number, but I can't read his
signature so I don't know what the name is, how can I find his name and

Garmin SL30 COMM problem? by
No Spam
I was pulling the avionics boxes to verify serial numbers and now I've got a
problem with my SL30.
At first, it was dead so I re-racked it. That got it to power up, but now I
can't transmit or received on it.
The NAV side works fine, but the data to the external OBS may be screwed up.

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...

mbremer216
Any opinions on the differences between the two units. Other than the
faster updating and the better street atlas, what makes the newer model
worth $600 more?
