Hey all. Ran into something a bit odd yesterday. I was doing some taxiing around the airport, and had to get out and check something. To facilitate starting in just a minute, and since I was the only one around, I shut it down with the mags, rather than the mixture cutoff. To my surprise, right...

I am thinking about a 340 and would love to get in touch with some 340 owners for questions around flying characteristics, maintenance etc.

I have a 2 pairs of Lightspeed 20xl and I'm thinking of upgrading to the new 30 G3 or switching to a Bose X instead. Can anyone tell me if the Bose are stereo and if so how they sound with music imputs on a Garmin 340. If I go Bose I'll be mixing one Bose and one Lightspeed. Will this cause a...

We have a shop that's proved that shimmy isn't inevitable in Cessnas, as other shops have tried to tell me in the past. The nose gear started to shimmy after 18 months solid as a rock. Turned out to be water in the wheel, trapped between the two halves and acting like a wheel weight. How it got...

I flew my (new to me) '87 A36 Bonanza at night for the first time recently and discovered a whine when the panel lights where turned on. The flood light switch / circuit doesn't do it and the rheostat for the panel light dimmer changes the frequency. Where do I start with the troubleshooting? I...

Last night, on a short hop back to home base after an instrument lesson (read: extended low power ops), engine shuddered and ran very rough just after level-off and power reduction. Run-up and takeoff were normal, and as usual I leaned like heck for taxi and during runup. About 80 degrees with...

Well, who knows, cast bread upon the waters, leave no turn unstoned and all that. We are based at Spirit of St. Louis with a shadeport lease which runs until January. Our spot is on the more-desireable east facing side of the shadeport which gets afternoon shade (cooler plane and less damage...

Greetings from a frequent reader, and infrequent writer. I have a question about the requirement for anti-collision lighting. I'm restoring a '58 Champ, and there's no evidence of it ever having anything other than Nav lights. I bought it as a basket case, having been completely disassembled, but...

Is anyone running Amsoil 10-40 full synthetic. I have heard some pilots run this in light singles. I realize it is not certified , so they must think full synthetic is better than dino oil .
