My lady has just informed me that she would consider a complementary Triumph TR3 to our classic '58 Cessna 182 a good idea. She's willing to cash in her old Chevy on the Triumph...oil leaks and all...for a TR-3 of that era. Anybody got a lead on one of those old rascals? Jim

I'm fantasy shopping for my new warbird or historic aircraft. My requirements are ... - Historic value (rare and interesting aircraft) - Reasonably easy to fly - No turbines and under 12,500 lbs (no type rating needed) - Seats two - Aerobatic - Easy on the eyes

Here's some good news for California based aircraft owners: AOPA GETS HISTORICAL AIRCRAFT CLARIFICATION FROM BOE At the request of AOPA, the California Board of Equalization (BOE) has clarified recent changes to the property tax exemption for historical aircraft. This exemption is available to an...

How you folks "out east" doing tonight? Check in when you get back up and running. -- Montblack

Well, Fat Albert still sits on jacks at Steve's shop... Not much happening... The vaunted new engine hoses have yet to arrive despite being paid for in advance... The #1 radio was sent out to the radio shop - the King KI-214 VOR heading had suddenly gone off about 12 degrees - though the ILS...

Hi everyone, I've run into a problem with renewing my medical because of a diagnosis of Sleep Apnea. It didn't cause me to fail my medical, but I didn't pass either. Since the AME had never run into a pilot with Sleep Apnea before, he wound up calling Oklahoma and talking to the FAA. The FAA...

My old Telex ANRs finally gave out. They still work in the passive mode, just not the ANR. I need to find a schematic to check them out, although there's not a whole lot there. I've e-mailed Telex, but heard nothing so far. Roger (K8RI)

I've read through the archives.... but would still like to hear a few more real world experiences before I spend $7-8K on a set of IO-520 cylinders. Anybody out there have enough hours on an overhaul using new ECI Cermi-Nil cylinders to write home about? How about Milleniums? I'm...

Well, it looks like my directional gyro just went belly up. When I went for a ride today, the setting knob was very sticky, and then suddenly not sticky at all as it now rotates freely and doesn't feel like it is engaging anything. The gyro card does not rotate with the knob. I have a Cherokee...

My Century I has gone bad. I need to send in the Turn Coordinator part of the system in for rebuild. Anyone tell me who is best? Quickest? Most economical? ETC? Doug

And it's not even for the Dept. of Defense! :-) For those of you thinking about airplane ownership (and I know you're lurking out there!), we just got the bill to replace one of the two dimmer switches (and a few light bulbs) in our Pathfinder's panel. $104 in parts, 5 hours labor (It's a real...

I finally got my plane out of the shop about 5 days ago, two of the things I had installed I had no information on so I thought I would let others know how they turned out incase anyone is thinking of upgrading theirs. I had the PS Engineering 7000b audio panel and the PXE7300 AM/FM/CD player. My...

Price of two new ribs............ 1.1 AMUs Crating those ribs for shipment.. 0.1 AMU Labor estimate................... 3.5 AMUs to 4.9 AMUs (50-70 hours) Kleenex.......................... Free At least I can divide by three and share the pain. Good thing I'd been flying like crazy the past few...

Went out this morning and rolled the Warrior out for a little soul restoring and piston oiling. It totally fulunked the run-up, tried to burn the crud off the offending plug, no joy. Took it back to the hanger and started pulling plugs. They all felt hot so I pulled them in order. The crudded...

We've been out shopping for an early model Bonanza, and in the process I went and looked at an Apache that happened to be at the same airport as the Bo I was looking at. The guy selling it was thinking that the Apache was probably as inexpensive to own as the Bonanza. Here's his reasons: 1)...

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...

I am looking to purchase a piper arrow, most likely a late 60's to early 70's vintage. This will be the first airplane that I've owned. Are there any Arrow owners that can give me some pointers?

Hope there are some attorneys or people with knowledge that can help me with this. I am a member of a club. A guy bought a Schweizer 1-26 sailplane from Canada, and signed a lease (like everyone else) to store the plane in our club hanger. He never flew it, or registered it. Now over a decade...

I have just finsihed my Instrument rating and it is about time to move up to soemthing faster that hauls more than my wonderful Piper Cherokee 140. An interetsing possibility is a Piper Lance or Turbo Lance. I am open to comments and hope to get some! John Purner Editor - The $100...
