Thanks, guys!

I have a little bit of a strange ELT issue. When I turn on the master switch, the ELT starts making noise (the classic ELT sound), coming from the unit itself. It is not sending out an ELT signal over 121.5 though. I've hit the reset button, turned it on and off, and nothing stops the noise...

Looking for an easy pull-over set of seat covers for my 1975 Archer. Any recommendations that don't require removal of the existing upholstery?

I had quite a similar experience in a 172P in 2008. Terrible panel vibration, idle power only, glided to Vicksburg (VKS), limped to the FBO, and walked to a gas station to buy a 6-pack of Budweiser tall boys. Was late for dinner that night. Engine got a top-end overhaul.

Coming back to your original question...I sold a 1981 C172P earlier this year. It sold for full asking price, which was $ 60K. I believe that the cream puffs will continue to have a market following. The dogs and shady deals will be a harder sell. Since I sold it myself, there were no fees. A...

My experience has been with Suzuki, Yamaha, Polaris, and Honda. Hondas have been my favorite and the most reliable by far.

Very cool; thanks guys.

I am down there on vacation in a couple of weeks and am thinking about renting a 172 to do some sightseeing with the wife. There is a little flying service that rents the S models on the field. Has anyone here flown out of KEYW? Any cool areas to go or recommendations?

Great pic... I am afraid that we are in for a rough fire season.

I invest a fair amount in 401K and stocks. Returns have been marginal over the last few months, which is no surprise given the current state of the global economy. After the meltdown of 2008, I really wonder how safe this stuff is when you realize that it can vaporize in a day. Makes you...

I wonder why that is?

Interesting. Thanks, guys.
