PIREP - Reiff Preheat Systems by
Joe Young

Cherokee 140. After reviewing the systems from EZ Start Heat, Inc., Tanis
Aircraft Systems and Reiff Preheat Systems, I chose the Reiff standard
system. Three items made the Reiff system compelling:
1. The system is modular - I...

Replacing fuel cut-off valve with non-a/c part??? by
Michael Horowitz
Folks -
I have a '46 Taylorcraft with a leaking fuel cut-off valve. I suspect
the valve stem packing is causing the problem. As this is the third
time I"ve had to address a seep with this original valve, I'd like to
replace it. I believe a ball type valve from the local hardware store
would do the...

Cherokee 180 prop RPM by
Nathan Young
I have a '71 PA28-180, with a fixed 60" pitch Sensenich prop. This is
the standard cruise prop for a PA28-180.
The POH indicates that 2700 RPM should only be able to be achieved

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...

Limitations of Lemon Pledge by
Jay Honeck
As many of you know, I am a big proponent of using Lemon Pledge to clean an
airplane. It can be used on the Plexiglas safely, and if you spray the
leading edges of the wings with it after each flight, the bugs just swish
right off with little effort.
In fact, that's ALL we have ever washed the...

I've read lots of stories about it and if finally happened to me, I had
my first ramp check. I flew into South Haven, MI (LWA) today to get

their necks and holding clipboards approached my plane. I couldn't

Voltage Regulator replacement by

Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old

Cessna 150 @ $11,245 per hour by

Well, at least that's my cost basis since I've only put on a little

I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster, and first time aircraft
owner. I've learned quite a bit since finalizing the sale just this past
Wednesday, but...

Overly restrictive business flying requirements. by
Wily Wapiti
Hello.
I thought I'd bounce these off the group and see what people
think. These are the UniRegs at the University of Wyoming for flying
your own or rented plane on University business. I feel, as a
low-time private pilot that they are overly restrictive, but I thought
I'd see what the sage...

RV-8 Instructor? by
Skyking
I have a friend in Kingman,AZ who needs some help with

turbo stc? by
The Weiss Family
Has anyone heard of either a turbo or supercharger STC for an IO-360?
In particular, an IO-360-A2B?
It seems that there would be a HUGE market for a turbo upgrade.

mountain located in North Georgia. Both wings were sheared off by 100
foot high pine trees which took much of the impact force. The fuselage
remained mostly intact from the panel aft. The pilot was trapped in the
