I've been flying Boeings for the past 35 years and been "out of the market". What are CFI's/CFII's getting these days?

Does anybody have an idea on how to make a tiny little vacuum pump on the order of an aquarium pump or so that will draw just a few inches of water? Preferably 110, but I can rig up a 12 volt supply if necessary. The reason I say this is that I'm getting ready to pack a fairly large number...

I bought a set of Rosen sun visors for my Skyhawk about 6 years ago. I hit some turbulence that slammed my head against the cockpit ceiling and my headset smashed the visor. These were about $250 for the set. Now I want to replace the broken one, and (of course) Sporty's will ONLY sell the pair...

This starter is for a Grumman Traveler or Cheetah with the Lycoming O-320 E2G. Electrosystems Part # MZ-6222 At 7 1/2 lbs., MagnaFlite is the lightest starter on the market. It weighs 60% less than conventional starters, and is the easiest to install with absolutely no modifications required....

Agree that you have to get back in the air and it s/b w/ a CFI. My 1st post-crash flight was in a new plane as the previous one was destroyed. Thx, {|;-) Victor J. (Jim) Osborne, Jr.

Hello fellow flyers, My apologies in advance if this is boring. This is my very first attempt at making a video of any kind. Give it a look and all comments are welcome. BTW, I already know I didn't hold the centerline on lift-off (embarrassed look). ALieb noticed that right away. I had a...

Anyone have one available that they'd like to share?

Hello all, Our old panel mounted (yes very old) Apollo 820 GPS by IIMorrow appears to have kicked the can. When turned on it goes through it's usual sequence but eventually emits a red warning along with the message "GPS unable to compute position". There appears to be reception of satellites...

Hi all. I'm a current student pilot(PPSEL) and I have been reading up on the new sport pilot/LSA stuff that has come about. My interest, like most potential pilots, is to eventually own an aircraft, but that will be several years down the road. However, the new Light Sport Aircraft class caught...

I have reached the point were I want to upgrade from my initial student flight bag. It is one of the Jeppeson ones you get free with the private pilot material purchase. It basically has a few outside pockets and a big interior chamber with no dividers. Anyone have any good or bad...

Hello ! We are a small group of pilots who operate a PA 38-112 Tomahawk II. On the last anual inspection we were told that next time the three universal joints in the aileron control linkage need to be replaced. They are located under the instrument panel. We got a price quote from Piper, they...

I was speaking with a somewhat smug fellow the other day who claimed older C-182's (1968 that I'm looking at) had inefficient wings and that the Continental would not make it to 1500 hours; 1300 if I'm lucky. (The one I'm looking at has 61 SMOH; about 5000 total; new paint, interior, etc.). As...

I have a Hoskins "Symbolic Displays Inc" strobe with White lens and need a Red lens to replace it. The strobe is mid 80's and was a replacement for the older rotating beacons. It is a Hoskins P/N701620-1. Works great just need the Red lens that was available back then but very hard to find today....

Hey all... just got official confirmation that my KT76's power output is way low.... classic sign of weak/dying/dead cavity tube. Just looking for suggestions on what might be a good, cost-effective replacement. I'm tired of futzing with transponders so I'm pretty sure I want a solid-state...
