Hey all. As some of you may recall, about a year ago I posted a question regarding two different power loss issues I was having with my PA-28-140 with an O-360-A4A 180hp upgraded engine. I'll summarize what's transpired and figure to get some opinions on what I might try next. Basically, I...

Reading one of the piloting web/video services and came across this comment: "Still; there remains the specter of trouble ahead... as most of the better offerings at the USSAE (LSA aircraft) cost well over 100K... and we're not sure that there is a sustainable market for aircraft in that price...

We have an MX300 in our 172 that has started producing squeals and static whenever it is turned on. It was intermittent a month ago and proceeded to being continuous. We can still transmit and receive if we can stand listening to the noise. I turned it on today and could clearly hear a...

Hey all... I saw the other post on a "long x-c" and figured I'd throw this in for thought (and not hijack his thread). One of my plane partners and I are planning to fly to Alaska this upcoming summer. I'm from there, and have driven the Alaska highway a number of times, but he's never been...
