2, People know that Swiss made watches are best, while the Asia made are worst but cheapest, but Some of Asia made Oyster Perpetual Air King - All Stainless Steel are also close to a real thing that is in fact almost impossible to tell the difference. Of course, the two are not exactly the same...

Ok,this is probably an obvious question to many of you, but I'll ask anyway. I usually fly in C172s and C182s with the Lycoming oil cooled engines that many of you are probably familiar with. I still see planes with the large radial engines (for instance, like what you would see on a Dehavilland...

Simple question, when refuelling should brakes be on or off (for a light plane)? I've been told both answers with logical reasons for both. What should I do??? Cheers

Earlier this evening I was watching the program "Discoveries This Week" on the Science Channel. The first segment was about the visual laser warning system being put in the ADIZ. All the reported errors about the lasers I'm addressing in alt.lasers. However, I wanted to mention here that some...

Last weekend I bought an IFR equiped '68 Cherokee 140 to get my Instrument ticket in ... ( I flew it from Bedford, MA home to Savannah, GA in one day. But, that is another story. ) The guy that I'm going to use as my CFII came out and looked the plane over and told me that while the plane is...

I've just bought a TomTom GPS for my car with preloaded road maps of the US and Canada. My question: Will it work in my 172 at 3,000 to 5,000 feet, showing the roads below, etc?

On several flights at night, I found my Garmin GPSMAP 295's display didn't dim enough to suite me, so I finally decided to try to fix the problem. I went to a local professional photographer's store and bought a packet of neutral density filter material for a few bucks. It had 0.3, 0.6 and...

Had some relatives in from Alaska last week. Al, a commercial fisherman on Kodiak Island, shares ownership of a 150HP Super Cub on floats with one of his sons. They use the airplane occasionally to spot fish when the boat is working close enough to land to make it worth while. In advance of the...

I dont post too often but just got done installing a noise reduction kit on my david clark 10-13.4 that I received as an early christmas present. I was wondering if anyone has tried this kit. It was ordered it from a place in Amarillo, Texas. I tested it on the ground an all my soldiering must...

I'm starting the process of shopping for an airplane. I'm thinking of buying one in 2 to 3 months. I want a cross country plane that can carry 2 people and baggage/camping gear, and sometimes 4 people with light baggage. As a computer geek I'm very enamoured with the new glass cockpits, and I'm...

I was shopping at a Wal-Mart on December 17, 2004, when I noticed outside a helicopter flying just over the tops of the parked vehicles in front of the store. It was flying towards me, about 20 feet above the ground and climbing. I got a photograph of it when it was about 50 to 70 feet in the air....
