    Piper Aztec?

    Day dreaming here. Just curious why this airplane is priced at $69,900? What is wrong with the Aztec? Anyone have the pros/cons over others in the class? http://www.aso.com/listings/spec/ViewAd.aspx?id=161645&listingType=true&IsInternal=True&pagingNo=1&searchId=23075074&dealerid=

    Southeast Family Getaway?

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I am looking for a place in the southeast to get away with the wife, 10 moth old, and dog. Fly in would be nice, cabin/hotel is a must with the kiddo, and obviously pet friendly. Anyone recommend somewhere? Thanks.

    KX 155 Issue

    Well, I got in the airplane yesterday and the KX 155 is nothing but squelch. I tried a bunch of different freqs, made sure the squelch knob was in, and finally I pulled it to clean the contacts. I reinstalled the radio and still the same issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

    Piper Arrow II Tach Question.

    Good morning. My Arrow has been modified with the Hartzell 3 bladed propeller. Looking through the POH and on the tachometer there is a red arc from 2000-2350 RPM.
