With the demise of 80/87 avgas, I bought a gallon of TCP and will start adding that to the 100LL that I must now buy. However, scouting around the internet I found something that claims to be similar in function but safer: decalin. Here's a blurb from Aircraft Spruce. My questions are, has...

Maybe this is old stuff for most on this newsgroup, but I just discovered this. I rarely if ever hawk a particular product on Usenet, but this older DVD set (1998) is fantastic. My brother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas....thinking it was some boring collection of fuzzy black-and-white 1960s...

Folks, I'm hoping you can help me diagnose an odd EGT gage behavior. Background: 1965 Aircoupe with Continental C90-16F engine (has vacuum pump). Plane based in N. California so freezing temps not a factor (pre-heat not needed nor used). Has both a CHT and EGT on different cylinders, with the...

Nice series in the Chicago Trib. Sure, it's written as doom-n'-gloom entertainment rather than dry facts and analysis, but they gotta sell papers. Does make one wonder about our own (general aviation) future. Note: As a courtesy to r.a.p., and against all tradition, followups have been...

Anybody know why the Porterville, CA airport is selling 80 octane on a "temporary" basis?

First impressions after viewing the main picture and extra features. It's quite professionally done, but ultimately it's not a flying or aviation DVD, it's the history of Van Nuys Airport. Thus, unless you're familiar with the airport--I'm not--it can be a little boring. I found myself hitting...

If you've got some extra time this holiday, please consider taking a look at some of my aviation-related web pages. My home page is at http://www.ingraham.ca/bob. Some specific suggestions: When I was young and still foolish, I climbed into a U.S. Forest Service bird dog plane for a flight...

Peter wrote There are various documents such as the cert of airworthiness, and (for an N-reg in Europe) the FAA radio license, which some say need to be carried in original. The Radio License doesn't come from the FAA, it is isued by the FCC. Bob Moore

Yet another rise in T-hangar rates (and others) at KBED. This (annual?) rate increase was "only" 5%. A Row $434.00 per month B & C Row $489.00 per month D, E, F, H & J Row $636.00 per month G 1-7 Row $1,386.00 per month G 8* ...

Try cleaning the terminals on the master switch.

A friend brought up an interesting question. If a plane is big enough to support onboard weather radar, and also has the XM satellite weather link from ground Doppler radar, is it possible to integrate the two sources into a single display? Related question: If you could choose only onboard radar...

Any CFI's here use Excel or Access on their computer to keep a log of their students and information on them and what you've covered with them? IF so, can you provide some tips on what a good starting ground would be for designing a spreadsheet to do this. Thanks

It's true, they had to wipe their dirty asses with something! Those shuttle tiles caused to many abrasions!

I was wondering if anyone used a non-Garmin card in their GPS and if so how happy are you with it? Brendan
