Well, the trustworthy engine (TSIO-520P) in my P210 has put in its 1500 hours or so without complaint, and it is time for a new engine. The choice is a new or factory remanufactured engine. My trusted Cessna sources in Santa Maria, CA favor a new Continental engine (at about $37,000), but they are...

Hey: with oil 90 bucks barrel has it caused Avgas to go up in your area??? How much are you paying??? at KBHM ( Birmingham, Al) last week it was $ 5.76 a gallon!!!!

With the current depressed market for twins, it is interesting to compare something like an SR22 or C210 to a Cessna 310. You can afford a lot of gas, insurance, and reserve for overhauls; with a $100K+ savings on the initial purchase price. Also, I'd be surprised if there is much more depreciation...

Well we finally went and paid for our new bird. A 1964 Comanche 250. After months of deciding to buy it or get a small plane. We went down as they were doing the annual on it. All turned out good. All compression 72/80 with only 10 hours on the plane in the last year. Our first projects a Paint,...

Had a potentially bad experience in my Archer tonight. Wife and I flew to dinner and returned to the home port about 5:20. Airport normally is open till sunset (which is 5:07 tonight) but as we taxied in, the lights in their cars went out and they came walking to my plane. I store in the big...

The ADF in our Cessna 172 isn't working right. Yes, we can receive the audio but the indicator only swings through 180 degrees on the indicator (from 180 to 360) and doesn't point in the direction of the transmitter. We tried repalcing the indicator with no improvement. Can someone...

G'day from Australia Help please. A friend of mine has "shortened" his Sensenich 74 x 50 propeller and is in need of another. Could anyone suggest as to where we could look for one.
