A very interesting article. http://www.designnews.com/article/CA6485769.html?industryid=43657 How could this error be trapped? All you "owner produced parts" guys take note. I wonder if this instance is what shut down the carb guys.

The reason is that the bureaucracy and incompetents feel threatened by the trend. It is my opinion that people go the N-registered route so as not to have to deal with the bozos who have gone so far as to tell UK pilots what airplanes they are skilled enough to fly, and that they are doing it...

Does Anyone Know If Cessna Makes A Supplement for the Factory POH's. And How to Get Them, Please E-Mail Me @ Thanx -Cory

We're facing the snowiest fall ever in Iowa, which has required shoveling pretty much every other day. (Gosh, I can hardly wait for winter!) Our airport plows the ramps and runways well, but they always leave a strip of snow approximately 2 - 3 feet out from the hangar door. This, of...

Hi all, Little rant and warning. After talking to the Factory Rep at Sun-N-Fun I recently sent my NSD 360A HSI back to Century Flight Systems in Mineral Wells Texas for service. The compass card would spin for no reason then be fine for a while. I called and talked to the support folks and they...

Hello, I in the market for a six seater. Could somone please help me out with a cost analysis of a single engine 6 seater vs a twin. I would like something on the faster end of the group. Some of the models I've looked at are chugging along at 150kts or so. I'm looking for something closer to...

is there an adaptor that'll take the head-set audio-out of an airplane intercom into a jack that can be put into a standard microphone jack in a video-cam.

Every once in a while during a TAP browse I encounter a "WSI" weather system. I've looked at their site but it seems short on information. Is this the system that requires the GDL49/69 box to display on a Garmin screen? Anybody know about cost compared with XM?

I've been shopping the classifieds for a few months looking for a good first plane. I'm looking for something along the lines of a Cherokee 140/160 to build time in. I have found two solid looking airplanes, one with around 1000 TTAE/500 STOH ('75 model) and one with around 6500 TT/ 500 SMOH ('69...

While I'm on a rant, there is a sense in this ng that the manufacturer's maintenance manual must be in the area where an annual or 100 hour is performed. I can find no such requirement in part 43 or part 65. Part 43 says that the maintenance manual procedures must be followed. Part 65 says that...

I am trying to decide between those 2. I am tempted towards the 340 because of the high ceiling and towards the 421 because of the more space. I am dubious about cabin legroom in the 340. I am 6'2". cheers Bernhard

I have the WSI satellite weather receiver installed in a Bonanza. The data from this receiver is displayed nicely on a Garmin/AT MX20 moving map. Today I called WSI to ask them what new weather features we could expect from their weather service. The rep told me that lightening data will be...

I'm considering a Mooney and would like to learn about the different models. Any suggestions?

Hey all... I've got the plane down for an annual and have discovered a small weeping leak in the bottom of the battery box (where the drain nozzle attaches). Am I correct in recalling that the box is made of tin and the nozzle of copper? Will regular Lead/Tin (60/40) solder this, or do I need...

I am thinking about a 340 and would love to get in touch with some 340 owners for questions around flying characteristics, maintenance etc.

Anyone got one for the newer 069-01034-0102 variant? Thanks!
