I have 5 new-in-box Tempest UREM37BY spark plugs. They are still in the sealed tubes with copper gaskets. I purchased these from A/C Spruce over the past year or two so I'd have spares during my trips and at annual. No fouling with the extended massive electrode. A/C Spruce sells them for...

Excellent condition, model 244CEC-AA-S2. My airplane is 12V , so no need for this one. My buddy had been using it on his C-152 but he just bought a 12V C-182. Includes the alligator clips and ring terminals so you can install it on your battery permanently and make hook up a breeze. My battery...

My mechanic showed me this last weekend when I stopped by to say hello. C-172 with an O300 motor; non-ferrous part found in the oil screen, spin on filter was clean. I'd say just over an inch wide. Appears failure was at the oil flow holes - at least that's what they appear to be to my...

With all new seat rails installed I want to replace the floor fasteners for the seat belts in my Cessna 172G. The parts manual shows the assembly and the appropriate part numbers. I ordered them from A/C Spruce and the nut comes back not as NAS679A4 but as NAS679A4W. Took a chance and lost -...

The kit includes tiny connectors for the 22 gauge wire that won't hold the wires in without some modification. Flimsy pins that crimp onto wires: Receiver of said wires and pins: The problem appears to be the barbs are too frail and fold like aluminum. For $350 I'd expect something...

Got an SI for OSA and want a travel battery that doesn't impact your payload? Sister bought this for a sailing vacation last June. However, the captain ran the genset at night so it wasn't needed. It is in perfect condition and used only once or twice. Includes the 24V AC converter required...

This single yoke came with my plane when I bought it, but I have aftermarket yokes so no need for it. It's well used and I cannot attest to its airworthiness. I have no idea whether it has any value but would be happy to see this find a new home. $20 + ship?

Everything you need in a transponder setup except the antenna. This includes a KT78 TSO transponder, tray, ACK Model A-30 encoder, coaxial cable, wiring harness. I got Appareo's ESGi I/O last weekend and preserved the wiring & tray to make it easy to reinstall. Great for experimental or setup...

Beautiful WX this week in Ohio, so Thursday after work I'm going to hangar. I check the right wing sump and then the left. Wait, what's this blue stain and tiny drip? I look on the floor but don't see anything so I take my Gats jar and poke the pin in like I've done a thousand times. Take my...

I flew to look at a '69 182M yesterday. Paint is 1.5 YO, seats are great. TTAF < 4000 hrs. The rest of the plane would be an exercise in modernization and pride of ownership. Motor has 500 more hours on it than advertised. Cosmetics are absent meaning the panel and interior is otherwise a...

When I create an upcoming trip that is beyond the range of my fuel endurance, GP gives me annoying trip alerts, and they're long: "One of your upcoming trips has weather below legal or personal minimums or insufficient fuel to complete the trip." I have an intermediate stop (actually 2) in...

Just went to register, says they've all been used up. :mad: Wonder if there will be any out-equipment rebates at KOSH? https://adsbrebate.faa.gov/RebateReservation.aspx

Ever heard of Kaufman's Department Store of Pittsburgh? I hadn't and wasn't familiar with the name until today. Flew into Connellsville, PA (KVVS) about 40 nms SE of KPIT. Very nice FBO with a decent crew car/SUV that despite the rust ran strong. NW winds gave us a decent push for the 160 nm...

Ever heard of a Duesenberg with a Lycoming 8 cylinder engine? I hadn't and wasn't familiar with the brand until today. Flew into Auburn, IN (KGWB) about 20 nms north of KFWA today. Very nice FBO with a crew car that seemed to be running on 3 out of 4 cylinders but beggars can't be choosers...

If the weather allows that is. Next Friday is launch day for a 2 week 'flyabout' with Page, AZ as the ultimate destination. On our way, we intend to stop NW of Denver to visit a friend before continuing on down to Roosevelt, Utah. Leaving early in the AM we head north towards Laramie. Does...

I have a user with two flat screen monitors at the office. He has a desktop PC for work and a notebook he uses on the road and for more casual wifi-only surfing. It is air-gapped from the corporate LAN FWIW. Using an advanced electronic switchbox type mechanism he would like to do this...

This started last weekend with what I thought was a fouled plug. It cleared up and off we went for an entire day of flying. Today we were headed NE to a new field with a restaurant we'd never been to with CAVU wx the whole way. As I did my runup, the left mag stumbled. Leaning out did no...

An airport I frequent was resurfaced last fall with a granite topcoat. Looks great and I hear it wears well. . .at the expense of our tires. Someone based on the field posted a notice that if a pilot could conclusively link excessive tire wear to their new runway, he would pay for new tires...

I have a 66G model 172 with a Plane Power Alternator conversion. My ammeter was showing a slight charge yesterday which is normal. However, when I pressed the PTT to respond to tower's instructions, my avionics shut down like a fuse blew. After a full second, everything came back on. It...

A co-worker got stuck Wed/Thu trying to get out of San Antonio and over to KATL for his connecting flight on Delta. His flight was epic delayed. He ultimately ended up booking a ride from DFW to CMH direct via AA and renting a car from San Antonio to DFW and driving thru the night to catch it...
