Anybody know of a source for printing bank checks with my own plane on it?

Hi all, My friend from oversea want me to buy C172 for him and asking me if I could keep his plane at my local airport for couple months before he come to pickup. He also give me permission to fly his plane during this time. But my question would be how would you deal with bill of sale, tax, and...

Well, Murphy finally decided to move on... The Kid decided to work on Saturday - after saying he would not be there, which got the evil eye from me... We assembled, and wiped, and polished, and tightened, and loosened and retightened... Finally after 4 hours it looked like an airplane again...The...

I have a mid time (1000 SFNEW) IO-360 Lycoming engine. Recently oil consumption has increased from about 1 quart/10 hours to about 1 quart/ 5 hours. For a long time we've collected oil on the bottom #1 plug but it seems like its worse now. In addition, we've had high aluminum levels in our oil...

This is a follow-up to a message I sent to the group recently about the Hartzell propeller AD. I flew out to the prop shop today and had them inspect my hub using the eddy current method. Interesting technology and quite accurate for finding the smallest of cracks on or very near the surface. ...

Just got off the phone. They called earlier this week & I suggested they call back (they did). Anybody else done one recently? TC

Does anyone use a PDA to record in a small spreadsheet the departure airport, your destination airport, and the Hobbs & Tach readings when you land? If so, what would be the brand and the main features of the PDA? Thanks

Perhaps somebody here has an idea about this little problem. A few weeks ago, shortly after annual, I tried to start our Cherokee 140. It kicked for a few revs, and then failed to start no matter what I did. I noticed the aux fuel pump kept pumping, as if it was not building pressure. The primer...

I'm wondering... if you were laying out your panel today... is there a specific way, perhaps a "standard" way, that you'd layout your instruments? I've seen some un-intuitive layouts and I'm wondering if anyone and provide me with some insight as to safest/user friendly layout. Thanks, -dr

We have this intercom unit in our 210 and it has worked fine in the four years we have owned the plane. http://www.davidclark.com/IntercomSys/isocom.htm However, there is the toggle switch on the unit labeled "Isocom". We have always left this switch in the "Off" position, because if we...

Our club owns a 1978 172. The little tabs that hold the pilots side air vent in the tube have come out and been lost, so when you get up to speed, it just pops out (makes the right seat nice adn cool this time of year, but will be a problem in winter). Any ideas on easy fixes or finding the...

Hello everyone.. I've posted this question in a few different NG's and forums, so appologies in advance for anyone reading it again. Anyow.. I have a Sony Clie TJ25 Palm-OS PDA that I recently purchased an i.trek mouse GPS receiver for from Semsons & Co. in the USA. I'm located in Canada,...

I've been tasked by my flying club http://flyingclub.org/ with a job I've been trying to do informally anyway: design our "panel of the future", and draw up a plan for getting from our current state to there. The mandate is pretty wide, though I get the feeling that an electric AI is more likely...

I just had the O-235-L2C in my Tomahawk overhauled, and the 125 HP mod performed at the same time. Now it is getting 2700 RPM at just under 400 degrees CHT, during break in, and cruising between 100-105 knots. Before the rebuild, cruise was about 2400 RPM and about 90 knots. I'm very happy with...

Anyone have any recommendations for aviation software for the Palm PDA. I'm thinking of AirCalc Pro through AvShop but there's a bunch of stuff available from Palm Gear that's also shareware.

Does your fuel-pressure gauge fluctuate noticibly ? Mine vibrates at about a 3Hz rate between the middle and bottom of the green-band. Engine runs fine... Turning-on the electic pump reduces the amplitude of the swing and stablizes it at around mid gauge. Is this 'normal' ??

Do you even know what the definition of Fascism is? Do you realize how oxymoronic using the phrase "Islamo-Fascist" makes you appear? Actually, that wonderfully descriptive term was coined (or, at least, repeated here) by this group's very own Don Tabor, DDS. I think is quite nicely sums up...

Hi everyone, Saw this group and wanted to say a quick hello and introduce you to Plane Pieces Inc.( www.planepieces.com ). Plane Pieces Inc specializes in the sale of airplane parts. We are currently selling chrome like propeller blades, but will continue to have a vast array of items including,...

I am reading the FARs and am having a hard time figure out whether I can slide out my old radios and have them upgraded and put them back in. Slide in and out only no wiring or changing the shelf itself. Or do I need A&P inspection?

Did anyone else notice that the C195 on EAA's August calendar / wallpaper http://www.eaa.org/wallpaper/images/august04/cessna195_640.jpg has a backwards-turning prop? Dave
