Okay, the Cherokee 140 annual is nearly finished. Compressions are 80, 80, 80, & 78 over 80 after 5 1/2 years and 650 hours of mostly autogas use. So far everything looks very good except for two things. My A&P IA was inspecting the propeller spinner back plate and was turning the prop real slow...

Can anyone tell me if there is any hangar space available in south east florida? Dave N415DK

Hi Folks I am a relatively low hour PP-ASEL(about 90 PIC, half in C-177 / 152, the rest in Challenger AUL and gliders, total time, including dual = 160 hours). I have not been flying for several years, but am in the process of regaining my certification. As the only way for me to be able to fly...

Howdy, I'm lucky to have found a lot nearby that has pretty much everything I want, including 2600 ft. of turf runway. This whole thing has been carved out of the bush in the past 6 months. Great fishing is just a stretch of the legs away, and while it is awfully rural, it isn't that far away from...

Does anyone here own an older model C210 (strut-wing models)? I'm looking at a 1966 and would like to learn more about the real world costs of operation as compared to the 182 I owned previously. I know the insurance is a lot higher ($3800 vs. $1200), and fuel burn is higher, but what about...

Anybody else have this great GPS? I just got the new updates with private airports and all, but it keeps crashing. I also was hoping to add weather to it somehow.

Hi All, I've burned through my last four cases of 15W50 and was about to reorder from my local Shell distributor when I was shocked to find that the price of a case of 12 qt bottles has risen to $68. I used to pay around $47/case from these people, but that was several years ago (last time...

I'm an retired Navy pilot with lots of time (6000)--but nothing in the past 15 years--but my children are now moving all over the country and I'd like to get back into the air to visit them. I know little about the general aviation market or products but I'm partial to twin engines if only because...

Had to replace the cast iron/steel/whatever cylinder (Piper part 65319) on my cherokee a couple years ago because of a crack (which later was an AD, but my A&P caught it early). The shop presented it to me with the comment "it'll make a *great* lamp base!". Well, not for me. I don't think any of...

Somebody explain to me why ANR headsets squeal when you are descending from FL180 and lower in an unpressurized aircraft. Flightcom is modifying their Denalis to deal with this but they say all ANR's do this. ???? Juan

Ask Tom Sixkiller (Alexis Park Inn - team leader in charge of sales). "plumbus bobbus" wrote in message news:eNDPb.101262$nt4.300385@attbi_s51... So I have narrowed my search down to hotels in the Iowa City area and have narrowed it down to the following choices: Hotel...

Is there a website I can go to find out the TBO and overhaul costs of any given engine? Right now, I am curious bout the GTSIO-520-L on a Cessna 421C. -Sami N2057M P.S. I thought I already posted this message, but it did not seem to show up. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

Stuff that I can remember off the top of my head: - GNS-430 GPS (a hard one to forget...drool drool) - JPI EDM-700 engine analyzer - GAMI injectors - DRE-468 intercom - KX-155 COM2 - Vertical compass - 180 SMOH...well, after our return trip, that's more like 195-ish SMOH - Less than 3000 TTAF -...

I was thinking about upgrading to a Cirrus if I could scrape the money together. They're really nice, if you haven't checked one out. An acquaintance of mine told me that the insurance on these aircraft is much higher than comparably priced singles because of the ballistic parachutes. Apparently,...

I belong to a really good flying club (http://www.rochesterflyingclub.com/) - we've got 5 aircraft ranging from a Piper Warrior (PA28-161) to a Piper Lance (P32R-300). I fly about 25-35 hours a year, and wish I could fly more. The majority of my flying is weekend trips up to Canada to see my...

Anyone know if there is any problem in buying a battery operated "home" CO detector and mounting it under your seat or somewhere inconspicuous? What is the difference between a "home" unit and an "aviation" unit? Now before you get crazy and call me cheap...I know that the credit card pill type...

Hovercraft and surface-effect craft are not regulated by the FAA. How high must one fly before one falls under the pervue of the FAA? Is there an official definition of "aircraft" that excludes hovercraft and surface effect vehilcles? -Thanks -Charles Talleyrand

I was reading on http://150cessna.tripod.com about owner manufactured parts. I was wondering if I could make my own interior parts? For example change plastic parts to aluminum, or titanium such as the plastic instrument bezels, mike holder ECT. I have access to a really nice machine shop, CNC...
