Not anymore sorry

Selling for $225. Includes the lithium ion battery. Mint condition. Whatever you see in the picture is what's included.

It’s been a nice journey but unfortunately I fell out of aviation I have the following items for sale: - Bose A20 w/ Bluetooth - only used about 7-8 times by my wife. Absolutely perfect condition $800 - Bose A20 w/ Bluetooth - used by myself roughly 700 hours. Replaced the mic muff and ear...

I’ve had this happen on my pa28, the carb heat cable broke apart. It’s metal so it rusted. General wear and tear. Mechanic will need to replace the cable.

If you want the plugs to last a drop longer, lean for takeoff too. It’s a bit ballzy, but my mechanic (also a former flight instructor) taught me to lean on the roll or at least on the climb. Any time I take my plane to him and he checks the spark plugs, they barely show any signs of lead...

Did this solution. Worked like an absolute charm today in the -10c weather

Thanks for all your prompt responses @frfly172 I didn’t know such a plate existed I will order the oil cooler winterization plate and hopefully it will work out well @Stewartb definitely going to be trying your suggestion as well

I fly a Piper PA-28-181 and noticed lately in the extreme cold -10c and colder that the oil temperature is only just making it to the green. This is a steam gauge so I can’t give you exact temperatures. Someone suggested to me that there’s an item that can be installed where it will trap the...

Regardless of what the contract states, the FSDO will still go after the mechanics who illegally signed off the logbooks knowing that ADs were not complied with. So I would call the seller, threaten them that if they don’t pay my mechanic of choice to comply with the missing ADs and the fake...

How turbulent does it need to get where you find it necessary to slow down to Va or lower? In my case I fly a Piper Archer (PA28) Usually when it is pretty light and it happens sporadically and infrequently I just ride through it below yellow line. When it becomes uncomfortable and when...

I purchased an archer with the same thing in mind as what you are thinking. Initially put it on leaseback with the intent to later start a flight school and add more aircraft. Terrible idea First, your reserve for maintenances are way too low. $300 for a 100-hour? Are you sure? Owning a...

You can definitely file, and if he’s acting PIC, you can also work the radios and “accept” the clearance. He’s the acting PIC, you are just helping him out. He’s responsible if you read back something incorrect, flew the wrong approach, etc. In the airlines and charter, dispatchers who are non...

Long Island aviators

Yeah I wouldn’t offer more than 5-10k for the airframe itself. By the time you get everything replaced you would’ve spent slightly less on a ready plane Think about it New battery Engine overhaul Prop overhaul New spinner New alternator New hoses Possible rewiring many of the avionics...

The extra time (+30 min) you spend commuting to ISP is going to be less than your time waiting at FRG
