PIREP - Reiff Preheat Systems by Joe Young
I recently decided to install an electric engine Preheater in my 1967 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...

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...

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...

"We're with the FAA" by Chad
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 fuel, it's self serve, and as I was fueling two men wearing ID's around their necks and holding clipboards approached my plane. I couldn't read what their...

Voltage Regulator replacement by kontiki
Has anyone replaced their Delco Remy voltage regulator (the old mechanical type for a 50 amp generator) with a new solid state type by Zeftronics? CHief aircraft sells them, just wondering what anyone's experience was. Mine is old, acting up and charging too high. In the old days I guess you could...

WAAS and Garmin 430/530 by DoodyButch
I was all ready to order a (wildly popular) Garmin 530 upgrade but now I have read that these units are not WAAS capable and will need a motherboard upgrade whenever they develop a WAAS capability, since there are fundamental problems with the basic refresh rate - see this months Aviation...

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...

Cessna 150 @ $11,245 per hour by mce
Well, at least that's my cost basis since I've only put on a little under 2 hours so far for the demo flight and the short hop home to RDU. 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...

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. Adam PP-ASEL

Software to write to PCMCIA datacards? by Charles[_1_]
I'd like to update the database for my Apollo GX55 GPS. $120 for the raw data is bad enough, but Jeppesen also wants $150 for a writer. The datacard is a PCMCIA card, so wouldn't it be possible to work with it with a plain old laptop or a $10 reader from Best Buy? I'm wondering if someone has...

On March 2 1991 a Piper Aztec , N6546Y slammed into the top of Justice 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 cockpit with...
