My #2 VOR is the older analog King head feed by a KX-170B. It likes to get out of adjustment. The local radio shop has told me I should get the screw driver and adjust it myself off the VOT. If you remove the set screw that holds the knob on, there is an adjustment screw behind it. However, the...

I have read conflicting recommendations for take-off power in a M20J. Some people seem to suggest that it's best to reduce MP/RPM to 25/2500 after 500 feet, while others suggest full throttle/2600 until cruise altitude reached. Any thoughts ?

Hello, I own a 65 m20e with a io360. Recently been experiencing noise on com1 and have read about low voltage being a problem with nav/com's. I have a king ki 165 for both com1 and com2. I've tried to diagnose the problem and it appers that my alternator isn't charging the batter correctly nor...

Howdy! I think the Helio Courier is just about the best back country airplane I've ever heard of but there are so few of them and the company seems to be taking it's sweet time getting them back into production. Is there anything out there that even compares to the Courier's specs and...

(I decided to move this to a separate thread since its a bigger issue than engine TBO.) Matt...I read the Avweb article. The author correctly notes that whether its a car or plane, you should always insist on seeing or discussing the problems with the mechanic so there are no surprises later....

I was on a training flight a few days ago in a 180 HP Arrow. I was demonstrating pitch stability. We were trimmed for straight and level cruise (something like 23 inches and 2300 RPM at 3500 feet) when I pushed us over into a dive, letting the airspeed climb well up into the yellow arc. Here's...

I remember one of the posters to this group bought an XL. I was wondering how the AD is affecting him and how Zenith is helping with the situation. Best Regards, Mike.

Snarly Charlie, the 182, has the classic "Cessna drip" from the fuel vent when the tanks are filled and the hangar gets warm. I've tried everything I know to stop it, but all I can do with all the mechanical fixes is slow it down. I'm getting ready to patch the asphalt under the drip and paint...

Hi, I've got one question. Is it possible to check what is the serial number of an engine if the engine data plate is suspected not to be a true one ? I want to buy a Cessna 150 but the data plate looks a little bit strange and I am not sure if it is correct. Can you advise me the way to check it...

I own a Mooney M20J with a WX1000 Stormscope whose backup battery has run out. The factory wants $600 to replace the battery. (Flat rate repair policy.) Does anyone know of a practical alternative? I have an electronics background but have no technical data on the unit. Also, am I directing the...

I am sure I can count on this newsgroup to give this question their best ! Would it be legal for a CFI to act as PIC from the right seat with a student in IMC ? In my opinion regardless of the legality, it would be less than sensible, what say the group ? -- Roy

I like the visibility of the flashing landing light...they really get your attention. The Pulsar unit sold by Spruce for about $320 (single light, mosfet, variable speed) is the only one I've seen advertised. They say 30 minute install for an under panel mount. They also say you simply need...

I have owned this Cherokee 140 since 1994. I have logged over 1000 hours in it through the original and the now installed overhauled engine. Oil temps were usually at 180 degrees (both engines)when OATs were between 50-80 degrees or so. It would read 1 needle mark higher when it got to be 95+...

I just got the bill from the State of Ohio for the registration of my Archer, N2185B. Seems they need more money so the bill went from $12 (2003) to $100 (2004). Can't believe the % increase but it's true. What do other states charge? Is Ohio now out of line or were we underpaying before? Chuck
