I am going to the Seaplane flyin in Moosehead Lake (Greenville, Maine) from Colorado in my Husky Amphib. A direct route takes me through southern Canada and I plan on visiting Hamilton air museum. Anyone have any info on good places to land and or camp along a fairly direct route Colorado to...

I am thinking of buying an airplane....I want to rent it when it is not in use to recoup some of the cost of buying the plane. How hard is it to do this? What are the insurance costs? How often do I need to get it checked out by an aviation mechanic? How much is the maintenece? Do I have to...

Here I am 90min before I have to leave to take the ATP written and I discover that some of the answers in the software that I have been using to study for the test are wrong! Mike MU-2

We're having some problems with our KX-155 where it intermittently stops navigating. Several attempts at repair have failed. A friend has a KX-155 that won't transmit. Another friend had a series of repairs on his KX-155. The conventional wisdom seems to be that the KX-155 is the gold standard...

Hi folks, Anybody has any idea how much insurance on an older YAK-52 (50K-65K purchase price) goes for? I'm assuming one registered pilot just out of Air force UPT and all the civilian equivalent ratings under the belt. Thanks a bunch! Oh on a related question, what's a common aircraft loan term?...

You still have today (Saturday) and tomorrow to go see the Sussex, New Jersey airshow.. Flew in yesterday for the show and it was great. The volunteers did a great job and were always helpful and friendly. The airshow was pretty much non stop from about 1:00 till 5:00. The new x-team masters of...

As part of due dilligence in deciding whether or not to buy a plane and if so how, I would like some feedback from people in small partnerships (2-3 partners). How do you usually handle scheduling? Do you divide up the calendar ("every other week is mine") and if so how flexible is it? Or do...

Googling the group yielded little so here goes... 1979 172, overall average condition with mostly original radios and wiring (one RT-385 recently replaced by a TKM radio, M1 Loran from a few centuries ago) The Cessna 300 ADF has gone flaky. The box tests fine on the bench which suggests a wild...

When counterboring brake lining sin prep for riveting them in place, how much material should I leave in place between the bottom of the rivet head and the metal drum? These are Shinn brakes. - Mike

Hello, We have a 67 Mooney m20e Super 21 with the original interior. Needless to say it is quite dated. The plane flies great, fast and is fuel efficient... but it just doesn't look great. Some of the plastic is cracked and turning yellowish and the upholstery is wearing. I am wondering if...

Long story: I'm looking at purchasing a 1974 PA-32-300 advertised as having a engine with 600 hours on it since new. After reviewing the engine logs and doing some digging online, I find that the engine was exported by Lycoming to Poland, where it was fitted to a PZL-104M. It stayed there for...

Sorry for the broadcast but I seem to have lost my extra datacard for my GNS430. Does anoyone happen to have en extra one they'd like to unload? Of course, I don't need to have any data on there (in other words, not looking to scam for a more updated database). Thanks, Marco

I was wondering exactly which parts are generaly NOT replaced in an engine overhaul. Assume all new cylinders/pistons/rings/pushrods. I know that the crank is often not replaced if it checks to spec, and the cam may be reground and replaced but what about other parts? Are the con rods usually...
