Don't need two! Circa late 1980's. Published by the old Cherokee Pilot's Association when Terry Lee Rogers was around. A compilation of various questions and answers on the Cherokee line. While a lot of the information is dated, there still is a lot of good information on how things are set...

Also have a KX-175B and a KN 73 (glide slope receiver) as removed from my Cherokee. For the KX-175B, serial #14696, P/N 069-1019-00. The ON/OFF/TEST switch is broken and is wired permanently on. Up until removal, the COMM and NAV radios worked fine. The radio has been repaired twice during...

I tend to accumulate "stuff"! Hate throwing out something that still works, so maybe these items can be of some use to someone. Price includes shipping in the US via USPS. Shoot me a PM if you want more info or better pictures. Flightcom II GX intercom and SR-4 Extension. Removed this from...

This is a pretty well traveled group, so thought I'd query the populace for some advice. Planning a trip to the Big Island of Hawaii, maybe mid-December or January (flexible on timing). Did visit a while back in Hilo, loved the area but this time shooting for the Kona Coast as we've not been...

What a wonderful small town, airport and car/aviation museum! Was supposed to have been a flying trip, but the weather was very uncooperative, so it was a drive-to. The town of Eagles Mere started out as a retreat for the 1%-ers as is evident from the size and quality of the homes surrounding...

Just a plug for the folks at Warrenton. Nice facility, excellent service and VERY friendly! Very nice crew car (which they were happy to hold for us) and a very pretty area of the country. Brian and David went out of their way to make this a wonderful experience.

Put this one in the same genre as The Smartest Guys in the Room. Lots of corporate intrigue, greed and ignorance. John Carreyrou does a good job of laying out the spectacular rise and crash of Theranos. Good pace to the story and the principals are well researched. An excellent (IMHO) tale...

Looks like the last reports on the board are from 2010. Be in Galveston on April 19, looks like a nice place, so thought I'd get some opinions on a visit. Gary

Have the need for some aerial shots of a recently completed project in Bryan TX. Maybe 20 or so oblique and overhead shots from 1500-2500 feet or so. Do not need to be geo-referenced, but do need to be of high quality as they will be used in presentations. Attached is a sectional showing the...

http://www.skyworkscapital.com/capital/ Anyone have any familiarity with this company? Seems they are looking for a financial analyst, my son is considering applying. Looks to be an investemnt and financing bank for the aircraft industry. Any insight appreciated! Gary

Beautiful day in SE PA, not too hot, calm winds, and just a few puffy clouds. So the Quakertown Pilots Association, AdamZ and I headed to Cherry Ridge for the semi-routine Sunday morning breakfast fly-out. Just gorgeous flying, get all trimmed up and the plane just flew along on rails. Tad...

It's not often that a weekend frees up to actually do things.....like flying! The wife is off to a ladies only party at the shore, so there isn't a to-do list! Yesterday was Young Eagles day at Quakertown. Don't usually participate as I'm not an EAA member, but they had a bit of a manpower...

Being nearly a complete novice at Apple stuff... what is a reasonable external hard drive for a Mac Book? The daughter would like one that plugs in with the USB port and is easily transportable. Not sure what storage quantiy she needs but most likely in the 5 -10 gig range. Priorities are: 1.)...

The FAA's final report on the testing of Swift fuel is now availible: http://www.tc.faa.gov/its/worldpac/techrpt/ar1013.pdf Interesting reading and does show promise. However, the fuel was manufactured using conventional commercially availible feedstock, the claim of using bio-mass is still...

Always like to acknowledge good service at an FBO. The folks at Dutchess Aviation at Poughkeepsie NY were excellent! Easy parking, brought rental car out to ramp (already cooled off via air conditioning), tied down plane, helped unload and good directions. Upon departure, plane fueled as...

You may recognize Michael Lewis from Liars Poker and Moneyball. I enjoy his writing style and his ability to explain relatively complicated ideas in a simple manner. The Big Short was no disappointment! It’s not a long book, 260 pages, has a good pace and provides a lot of good interview and...

Need to replace the original, stock, panel mount whiskey compass. This looks interesting: http://www.gca.aero/detail/5605/Instrument/SIRS/NV-2C/ Bit pricer than the Airpath, but possibly better quality? Anyone with actual experience? One concern is visibility, the face seems, from the...

Daughter gets to spend a semester in Holland. Wish they had these kind of vacations....err.. programs when I went to college! Her existing cell phone (Verizon) will not work in Europe. There are a multitude of options available on the internet. She only needs it for 90 days, cost is not...

Hope you have a great day! The sky is blue, the sun's out, and don't see a cloud - you going flying? Gary

After some pretty severe winds yesterday, things calmed down and it turned out to be a great day in SE PA. Our own Steingar was a surprise visitor and was able to join the Quakertown Pilots Association for a Sunday breakfast run. 30 kt headwinds going north, but a pretty smooth ride at 4500'...
