OSKI 3
Many People attenting Sun N Fun have their GPS updated during the event.
In the spirit of that, How about posting your costs for this service on this
thread. It would save a lot of running around for others needing this info.
Invariably there is a vendor who has a bargain and we all know Pilots...

Dodged it *AGAIN*! by
Jay Honeck
Got the latest AD on the Lycoming O-540 in the mail the other day --
indigestion time once again. They have now expanded the "oh-crap" news to
a whole bunch more O-540 owners.
The Feds are worried that some of the zinc-coated Lycoming crankshaft gear
retention bolts could fail -- which would be...

Cannulas for a two year old? by
Chris Kennedy
We've capitulated and have decided to add O2 to our Collection Of Stuff
(it's tough to file IFR over Northeastern California and the Great Basin
without it) and are trying to figure out what to do when it comes to our
two year old. He's nuts about flying and generally accepting of wearing
his...

Post-Start Engine Burst by
O. Sami Saydjari
Today, after I started by Turbo Arrow III (TCM TSIO-360-FB), I set
throttle to 1000 RPM (as normal). The engine sound a little "funny".
About 60 seconds later, the engine roared to 1700 RPM on its own and I
had to pull the throttle back quite a bit to get back to 1000 RPM.
Run-ups, later on,...

Chelton AP-3C autopilot by
Kyler Laird
I've drooled over the King KFC 225 and S-Tec MAGIC autopilots for
awhile. At Oshkosh the Bendix rep. told me that an STC for an
Aztec was extremely unlikely. And the MAGIC, well, if I had $70K
to spend on my airplane it wouldn't all go into an autopilot.
I still hope for a decent autopilot for...

Help updating Garmin 195 software by
Dan White
I haven't updated the Jepp database in my gpsmap195 since 1998, and
thought it about time to do so again. However, it appears I need to
upgrade the software to version 3.01 first (the unit is still at
v2.06).
I have the pc interface cable and have downloaded the update from
Garmin's website. ...

Opinions on Cessna 340, 414 and 421 by
john szpara
I'm considering buying a plane, and have decided to go with a twin. I
understand that there will be more maintenance costs over a single,
but I like the safety margin of the second engine. I also like the
idea of pressurization, because we have some high mountains out here
on the west coast. It...

"conventional" Prestolite MZ-4222 or the "light weight" Sky-Tech 149-12PM.
Price is the same either way. We have never used anything but...

Buying an older airplane by
Kai Glaesner
Hello community,
imagine you consider byuing an older airplane, e.g. a Piper from the Pa-28
Arrow series: is there an age (or a year of birth ;-) you would not exceed?
If yes, for what reason (e.g. may be that corrosion-protection was not usual
before that year, or that copper was so expensive,...
