I'm on a temporary job assignment in Stratford, ct and have been thinking about bringing my old Bonanza up from Texas. Anybody know of a good place to hangar an aircraft in this part of the country? Haven't flown in a few months and having withdrawals at this point. Might need to rent something,...

I'm going to be re-doing the panel in my old Bonanza and would like to get rid of the gauge cluster i currently have and replace it with something that can fit in a standard instrument hole. The cluster takes up a lot of real estate. I need fuel pressure, oil pressure, ammeter and fuel gauge in...

Hello, I have a 59 Bellanca Cruisemaster that has a Mitchell Executive autopilot in it. To engage the autopilot, you push in a knob on the left side of the panel just left of the vsi and below the ai. When engaged it would roll left at about a 20 degree bank, so I adjusted the autopilot trim knob...

I saw the thread earlier about the Tiger as I was about to type this, but it didn't answer any of my questions, so here goes. I keep seeing the Tiger for sale between $65k and $110k. I always thought these planes were highly desirable. This seems a little cheap compared to other planes the same...

Any current thoughts on AGM batteries? I tried a Concorde 35AXC about 8 years ago. It lasted about 30 months for me. Wet batteries seem to last around 4 years. However, there was some corrosion damage from the wet battery last annual, and so I'm rethinking the AGM option. I might be willing...

Has anyone dealt with these folks (www.airjourney.com)? Any comments? Thanks.

I'm looking for advice to help shorten the trouble-shooting process here. My Arrow has developed an alternator whine over the past few hours. It is *barely, barely" noticable on both radios when receiving, but loud and obnoxious (both to me and other aircraft) when transmitting. No doubt it...

It occurs to me that I've somehow managed to avoid actually posting the details of my recent purchase. Some of you may have noticed (from some of my other posts) that I just picked up a new toy. She's a 1993 Socata TB9 Tampico (pictures are available on my company...

Any recommendations or comments about using one of the commercial airplane scheduling software packages? I have used ScheduleMaster in another club in the past and liked it. We currently are using a phone scheduling system and I find it to be slow and cumbersome to use unless the schedule is...

Someone on the GNS480 yahoo group posted some text this morning from Garmin Service Bulletin #621, to the effect that the GNS480 does not comply with the TSO, and that it reverts to TSO C129 type operations, for example requiring alternate airports to have ground-based approaches, having...

Does anyone else have their Garmin 396 connected to the audio in their airplane? If so, do you get terrain warnings every time you approach an airport to land? I do, but Garmin doesn't seem to be very interested in helping. I've exchanged several emails with their tech support. They don't...

Maybe someone can save me a trip to the airport to measure. Specifically, looking to mount a Davtron 800 clock, will it fit? While I'm at it, is there a convenient way to wire the clock for continuous power when the master is off, or do I need the "B" model clock with the built-in alkaline...

Based at RDU, looking for a nearby paint shop for my Mooney. Tell me about your experience. Need interior overhaul, too. Could be the same shop or different one. Thanks. Remove SHIRT to reply directly. -- Dave Butler, software engineer 919-392-4367 We now return to our regularly scheduled...

On a related note: there was a thread here earlier about wireless access at Oshkosh. IIRC the sad conclusion was that there was no access very nearby. I wonder whether anyone has contacted EAA and requested that they get on the stick and provide WiFi on the North 40. Is there any chance EAA would...

This has special interest for me because I own a Mooney (that should take care of the on-topicness). I guess I could put this in r.a.piloting, but i don't know anyone over there, and I just wanted to share this with some friends... About 3:00 this afternoon, a Mooney M20M dropped out of a low...

Anyone have any feedback on the dual vacuum-pump STC from Aero Advantage? I'm considering it for my M20J. Need to convince my partners. Info on the STC at http://www.aeroadvantage.com I just spoke to company president David Boldenow, and he said there were about 100 units installed in the fleet....
