Boy does this feel like a stupid question! The nut on my Archer's yoke's push-to-talk switch has gone missing (it's a tiny thing!). So, when I go to push to talk, I'm just pushing the switch into the yoke. Is this a standard nut that I can find easily without bugging my mechanic (who...

Update: SOLD ________________ I've decided to switch to WingX, so I'm selling my first generation Stratus receiver. As you can tell from the picture, it's only lightly used. I'm setting the price at $525 with free shipping within the US. Thanks!

I've decided to move from Foreflight to WingX. I could go into the reasons, but it's really personal preference. I'll be selling my Stratus and I'm trying to decide between the iLevil or Clarity. Since I'm going to do this, I might as well perform the comparison between AHRS versions. So...

My mechanic has discovered that my Archer's shimmy dampener is broken beyond repair. As he's researching a replacement (and I'm told it won't be cheap), I thought I'd inquire from the people here what I might be looking at for a cost to replace. Are these Piper parts or are there 3rd parties...

I see a lot of discussion on this, but I can't find the simple answer from someone who has gone through this. What does it cost (approximately) to upgrade the Garmin GTX330 to 330ES? What is involved? I assume the unit is modified by Garmin, but what other modifications to the aircraft are...

I'd like to take advantage of the audio alerts provided by Foreflight without adding any additional cables (well, at least minimize). My intercom has a music input, so I thought about adding something like this...

USA Today article on tower closures Oh, this story just ticked me off. Do people do any research anymore before they write articles? http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/04/air-traffic-control-towers-closing-sequester-plane-collisions/2054875/ We now have to rely on crude...

OK...first, I have no relationship with the people below. I'm just a geek who loves gadgets! I came across this Kickstarter project that has developed a wind anemometer that plugs into the headphone jack of your smartphone...

OK...To start with, I understand that any advice I receive here should be confirmed by a tax specialist. (now that I have that out of the way...) I'm getting a really late start to my taxes this year. Last November I participated in a few charity (yep...in conjunction with a 501(C)(3)...

I just received notice that Cecil County Airport (58M) in Elkton, Maryland is shutting down. I now have to find a place to relocate my aircraft. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good place to relocate in the MD/DE/PA area? (perhaps EVY or ILG?) Thanks!

I thought Xavion was really cool until I read a posting on the red board (it looks to be a response from the author of the code). It's the need to keep the iPad dedicated to the app that got to me. (I was about to pluck down the 99 bucks to buy this, but now I really don't know.) Thoughts?

I've decided I want to take on the project of updating the seats in my '76 Archer. The previous owner upgraded the side panels and carpets, but the original seat coverings are still there (and now ripping). I've never done anything like this before, but I'd like to take on the task...

I bought myself an iPad mini wifi as an early Christmas present. I didn't get the cellular version as I figured I could use my iPad 3's hotspot for data and use my Stratus for ADS-B and GPS to Foreflight. Right now I have both Foreflight and WingX. I seem to go back and forth between them...

I'm sure this should be obvious, but is there a way to quickly find the nearest frequencies in Foreflight (i.e. approach, departure, center) without having to search for an airport, first? Thanks!

How much fuel is in the Archer's tanks? I thought this was easy, but nothing in aviation seems to be! I have this lovely placard on my '76 Archer's wing that says the tabs are 17 gallons of fuel in the tank. I know from my manual that I should be able to put 50 gallons in between the tanks...

I often like to just go up and fly. Sometimes I'll just fly to an airport, land and take right off again (for the fun of it). I haven't done this before, but I have a question regarding landing fees. Over here on the mid-Atlantic coast, we seem to like landing fees (OXB, 26N, etc.). If you...

About 4 months ago I had my annual for my Archer where some significant maintenance was performed. That's to set the stage. Fast forward to today... I was looking in my aircraft for my POH (yeah...I know...it's an owner's manual) to make sure I was recalling the proper tire pressure. I...
