I've had an opportunity recently to purchase a Piper PA28-140- absolute creme puff cosmetically... but the problem (and reason for the good cosmetic condition) is that the plane has been sitting in an enironmentally stable (dry, 50-80 degree ambient temperature) for almost a decade now. (For those...

Many people have asked me why I have generators on my airplane rather than converting to alternators. My airplane is a PA-30. The only legal alternator conversion is the InterAv STC. This is a non-redundant conversion - the alternators used require power to the field and the regulators use...

Hello, Could anyone please direct me to a company that sells yokes? We're looking to replace our yokes with newer more "modern" ones. And links would be appreciated. Thanks, -dr

Greeting to All, I am investigating the possibility of purchasing my own plane in the next 12 months. With the soft prices on twin airplanes, they are starting to look a little more appealing to me than a big single. I have spent a lot of time investigating costs associated with maintenance so I...

I'm sure the experienced buyers & sellers around here have run into this before.... One prospective plane I'm looking at is for sale in Connecticut (currently based there). The current ownership is in a Delaware LLC (of a sole proprietor, who is flying/basing the plane out of CT). Connecticut...

What is Oil Canning? How is It Spotted? What Problems Dose It Cause? Dose It Affect Airworthiness? If So How Is It Resolved or Fixed?

I just had to order some Rand-O-Fill for a fabric repair. Had a lot of trouble finding it - Aircraft Spruce is out of stock and doesn't expect to get any until mid-May. I finally found a place in Texas that has a few quarts. They told me that Randolph is being acquired by new owners and is not...

In other words, the volume of the music audio has to be fairly high, or the Muse will cut out during softer parts of a song. The audio output device needs a compression circuit to keep audio levels more near a constant output. There are portable cd players out there that have such a...

Why would a cold engine drip oil out of the breather? If you're bored or have any answers... read on. Lycoming IO-540 C4B5 Like some of the other owners in the group, we've had a mystery oil leak on one of our engines. Nothing severe, not enough to show up as "missing" on the dip stick. ...

Found this on JA Air Center's website the other day: http://shorterlink.com/?R7L145 This solves a problem we(my brother and I) have encountered in our 67 Skyhawk. We were thinking about fabricating some type of panel mount for our Garmin GPSMap 296 but just couldn't come up with a good...

Today was not a good day for the Baron. While replacing a cylinder I found a crack (confirmed with Dye Pent) off the #5 cylinder leading up towards the case halves. The engine has 2750 Hr since new and about 1000 Hr since a TW Smith overhaul. The case is repairable, but it seems like a waste...

Well, after only putting 12 hours on our Aztec since our annual, we've got a bad prop seal on our left prop. The prop shop is overbooked until OSH is over, so we've got it scheduled to go in Aug. 3. (One side benefit is that while the prop is gone we'll have time to put in our new side windows!...
