A few weeks ago, driving back toward Dallas from San Antonio I think I may have seen something very strange... possibly. I'm not completely sure. Nut it did seem like it... It was a bizarre weather day. Snow on the blooming blue bonnets the day before. Somewhere just north of Waco I hit a huge...

I'd like some advice where the problem is no reading on the gauge ( and can use a Volt-ohm-meter if have to). It is a three wire Electric gauge and a bell shaped sensor with the lead attached at the top. Although upon sensor removal, there was oil pressure (squirting G). Could I check for...

I recently purchased a database update for my Northstar M1 LORAN from CMC Electronics and a new battery which they also list on their Web site. Replacing the EPROM database was easy, but I cannot find where the battery goes. Has anyone replaced the battery in the M1? Where is it? Thanks! -Ron...

I originaly posted this to rec.av.ultralights but thought you folks might have useful iformation and insights.... I'm contemplating building this combination and would love opinions. The reasons for this choice is combination of price (I would like to keep as low as possible) and my ability to...

Don't like to beat a dead horse, but-- As C.S. Nixon said--"let me make myself perfectly clear" I agree that a gallon of Mogas has more btu's than a gallon of Avgas The main reason being--1 gal mogas= 7.422 lbs. 1 gal avgas= 6.978 lbs.

Although I have heard of it in the past, I tend to (now and again) forget things. There is an article in the local paper about a Gig harbor gal who has won appointment to the "Aviation High School" located in South Seattle. My question is this: Many years ago, one could take a run-out engine to...

I have just listed a friend's really nice 210 on ebay. The airplane was maintained on a Part 135 certificate, owned and flown by an A&P- IA / Airline Maintenance Inspector for a specialized medical transport business. This is an excellent opportunity to get a no-problems, well- maintained mid-time...

I think it was 1995, at Oshkosh, I attended a forum on the differences between auto fuel and avgas. It was presented by a fellow who owned and operated one of the few refinerys which produce avgas. IIRC, a refinery turns crude oil into different hydro-carbons. They are all solvents, and all...

Hate to disagree. but there are more BYU's in a GALLON of Avgas than in a GALLON of Mogas. Why?? Avgas weighs more per Gallon... Most fuel type hydrocarbons have nearly the same BTU's per Lb.

Hello, Any comment about this prop. Will I be happy with an O200 on my Minicab (110kts expected)? thanks -- Minicab F-PRAZ Philippe Vessaire Ò¿Ó¬

I know that primer(over steel) is designed to provide a base for a top coat, and (allegedly) you should not leave steel with only a zinc chromate coating (although I've seen steel fuselages zinc chromated only and they appear in good condition). I have read that if you appy a 2-part epoxy primer,...

Sunday night a couple of the boys (names withheld to protect the guilty) were celebrating late, for the 'morrow was a stand-down. Taking the active in a blue Pontiac Grand-Am, they went roaring down the runway at speeds in excess of 100 mph. Departing the north end of the runway the car flew...

Does anybody have a headset Cell/MP3 circuit diagram? Newer headset have Cell/MP3 sockets. I would like to modify my headset to add the circuit.

I'm an old technology guy, flying comfortably behind my Lowrance 100, but I've encountered a problem where there shouldn't be one: The internal batteries still die and take the unit down, even when running on "ship's power". Last fall, I added a power outlet in the cockpit to power the...

One of my students' father cleaned out his hangar a few weeks ago and came across his collection of Kitplanes magazines from the early to mid 90s. I haven't checked, but the student said that it was from the very first issue through sometime in 1995. There are 50 of them, all in relatively...
