I've never used or even flown in anything with an autopilot before, so bear with me. I've got a Brittain Nav Flite II autopilot. No idea if it works or not, but I did verify all the servos are at least installed and hooked up so I'd like to at least give it a shot. Previous owner of 20 years...

For you guys used to putting large units in small boxes.. How tight is too tight? Hangar door opening of 38' 6", looking at a Lake Amphib with a listed wingspan of 38'. Is that just asking for hangar rash?

Looking for a little insight into a problem that started this past weekend. I had a battery minder hooked up before flying, all indications on the charger show the battery is good to go. Plane starts fine, fly for a little over two hours, land without issue. Fill up with gas, go to restart...

Is there a way with a GLD39D paired to a 796 to preset the pitch/roll (mainly pitch) for the attitude indicator display when the unit is turned on? It defaults to being level, that's fine for tricycle gear planes but in a tailwheel I've got to reset it when I get to straight and level flight...

Apparently just happened at a golf tournament in WI - Initial reports are it caught on fire, crew jumped out with parachutes https://sportsday.dallasnews.com/other-sports/golf/2017/06/15/blimp-appears-crash-woods-us-open-golf-tournament

So I bought an electric carbon monoxide detector with a digital display on it. I know I've got an issue in my airplane (saw and smelled exhaust this weekend through the heat vents, pretty obvious!) but it got me wondering is there an acceptable level above 0? I saw 13-16ppm during taxi and run...

Does any one know the bulb number for the small instrument post lights? I've got a couple burned out, GE 330's are just a little too large. I couldn't find a bulb number on the base of them either.

On the commercial test practical exam, most (all?) of the maneuvers have a degree of bank listed in the PTS. Can you use an day VFR only aircraft without an attitude indicator on the test? Would a tablet/handheld GPS with attitude be an acceptable substitute? Or is it find another plane with...

Is there anywhere to search to see what airframes are approved for specific STC's? I'm specifically looking for the list for the Garmin G5, all their advertising says "approved for over 500 single/twins" but nowhere can I find a list of what those 500 are.

So I've always driven to the EAA (the appropriate name for this event ;)), thinking of flying in for the day on Saturday and parking in Vintage. How does the daily parking work, do they marshal you in the general area and you pick whatever spot you want or do they tell you exactly where to...

So here's an interesting one. Class C airport (KGRB) has the following notam: !GRB 05/246 (KGRB A1642/16) GRB SVC TAR/SSR OUT OF SERVICE DLY 1300-2200 1606011300-1606032200 So if I'm reading it correctly, tomorrow through Friday they won't have radar when the tower is open. How would...

I'm having an issue with a toggle switch, its for the pitot heat in a '68 Cherokee 140. I can turn it on, pitot blade will heat up but after maybe 5-10 minutes the switch will flip itself to the off position. I can turn it back on and after a few more minutes it is off again. There's a "10"...

New in the box, never used Teledyne Alphabeam LED Aviation Light. Part #11-08459. Bought last year, finally got around to trying to install it in a Cherokee 140 and it does not fit that application, the base is too deep to fit properly on that aircraft (even though Spruce's website shows it...

I've got a trade to offer anyone with a T-34 who is doing the formation clinic at KMTW. Take me for a ride on one of your formation practices, and you can use my hangar until you leave for Oshkosh. My plane is gone for its annual inspection so I've got an empty hangar this week. :D

:rofl:

2 weeks ago the air temp on the field was -10F, altimeter setting was 30.59. Spectacular density altitude :wink2: Aircraft was a Cherokee 140, had a preheater going all night so the oil temp needle was at least off of the bottom and the rest of the engine was warm to the touch. Did a run up...

Does the endorsement to take the instrument written need to be given by a CFII or can a CFI do the endorsement?
