ELT Checks by
Kevin Chandler
I know that I am allowed to replace the ELT battery of my airplane. At the
same time, I performed an ELT check as stated in FAR 91.207. Not being an
A&P or an IA, am I allowed to perform this check and sign off on it?
Thanks in advance for any responses,

tap for lycoming exhaust port by
LukeCS
I have had to reface the exhaust port on my number 1 cylinder. The directions for the refacing tool say I should clean the threads of the hole the exhaust studs go in but I can not find a tap to match the threads nor can I find a die to match the threads on one of the new exhaust studs on the side...

How to Avoid Being Grounded. by
betwys1
I pulled my plane over to the wash stand to lose the fly squash this
evening.
It was a little harder than I expected, to pull the 20 yards or so.
So I used a gas bottle to fill the tires, and put the bottle in the
cockpit while I pulled it back to the hangar.
That's when I noticed the...

Cherokee 140 Oil Temp Sender by
Mike Spera[_2_]
Still trying to track down a high oil temp reading. I would like to get a
new temp sender to swap out. Too lazy to rig up the hot plate, thermometer,
etc. to test the old one. Part has a number of 362-EW. Same number is on a
friend's Arrow. Methinks most/all cherokees may use the same one....

in the Cherokee. Checked the baffling, replaced the oil cooler with a new
one, replaced the Vernatherm, checked the oil cooler lines, all with no

Legal to Rent Yak-52? by
W[_3_]
Is it legal for a sport or commercial pilot in the US to rent a Yak-52
aerobatic plane for unassisted flight cross country? I guess these can
only be certified currently for exhibition/airshow. Is that likely to
change given they are still manufactured in Romania?

Apollo Flybuddy Loran Replacement by
Terry
Now that I have a worthless Flybuddy in my panel I'm trying to decide
the best way to replace it. I've used a Garmin 296 as my first choice
for navigation but it was always nice to have the "Loran" as a back-up
should the battery fail on the Garmin. I have considered getting
another Garmin, ...
