Hello, I have a Cherokee 140, and I think the carb heat cable is not connected to the handle on the pannel correctly. I have a handle that moves up and down (not push/pull). Currently the cable was put through the whole on the back of the lever and bent around it. Shouldn't their be a...

Hi all, I just installed a GEM-610 in my airplane and it works great. Is there a way to download/configure the unit without the suggested HP 200LX handheld computer? I've tried a Toshiba laptop with no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks

I recall reading about a landing light bulb that is a lot brighter than the usual ones. I swear that when I turn mine on, it actually makes everything darker :) Anyone have any leads to a REALLY bright landing light. Tony --

I've posted a "for sale" on rec.aviation marketplace for the ADF we removed from the club's 235 when we rebuilt the panel. $1000. The subject is "FS KR 87. KI 227" Don

Is there any information available about the new SMA jet fuel engines that are being offered for the C182? I'm curious if maintenance would be much of an issue. Are there many shops that can handle working on them? Is it a replace only like the Centurion 1.7 on the Diamond airplanes? Or can it be...

When I click on Steve Zecker's name in the list, it shows me about 10 other place markers in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina. Clicking on any of them move the map to some correct pointers. Then I clicked on Steve again and the extra markers were gone. WTF? Anyone else seeing that? ...

I'm looking for the small white plastic knobs (cabin air, etc.) for the panel on a C-172 C model (1962). I've looked on Plane Plastics, Spruce, etc. with no luck. I know this has to be a common problem because they're all cracked and dingy looking, and I've noticed it on other planes as well. By...

Anyone care to recommend which insurance company they're with for aircraft ownership? I've gotten a few quotes, so far the lowest has been through AOPA and their process. But I wasn't too impressed with their payment options. They either want the entire annual premium up front or a large bulk up...

I had a strange experience with our CNX-80 earlier today. Heading back into HPN, we tried to bring up the approach frequency 126.4, and discovered it wasn't in the database. There were the normal secondary freqs (120.8 and 124.65), but no 126.4. Then I looked up DXR (Danbury, right next...

This is ridicoulous. I just bought a 396 and want weather and XM radio. The XM people want to know something about whether or not I have both weather and radio on the same channel. I have no idea what they are talking about. I'm sure someone has been asked and has answered this question...
