I know this is a long shot but I'm looking for a CFII to help me regain proficiency and complete my IFR training while I move my plane from coast to coast. I'll cover all fuel and hotel costs (2 nights) and give the CFII a plane ticket back to the East coast. If there's any CFII interested...

Hey everybody. I'm trying to price out an engine overhaul (or factory new) for a Lycoming O-540-B4B5 engine in CA, NV, or AZ. Anyone know of a good shop, preferably in CA? I know lack of parts has a lot of overhauls backed up several months but I figured I'd start looking now.

Anyone know of a good aircraft paint scheme software that's useful and allows for multiple types of planes? I looked at the one for Sherwin Williams but the only single engine aircraft it allows for is a Bonanza, not a Cherokee or Cessna. What are shops using?

I own a Cherokee 235 and have been buring MOGAS for the past 4-5 years. In that time I've had to have my muffler overhauled going on 3 times, each time costing me a few hundred dollars (not much when all things considered). I've had absolutely ZERO engine issues running MOGAS. This time my...

Has anyone here flown to Iceland? If so, what route did you take? I'm leaving from Virginia.

Hello all. I just got a quote from an avionics shop for a G5 AI installation where the quoted install time was 10-12 hours. After browsing several forums I've seen many people say the installation for a G5 AI connected to a GNS430W and second G5 was 4-6 hours on average. Did I just get a high...

Community, My GPS is giving me an error that the localizer needs servicing. Has anyone had this same issue and/or know what could be causing this. I know it might be an incredibly big ask but if someone could tell me some of the most common issues with the Garmin 430W and localizer issues I'd...

So it happened. I have 3 bad cylinders on my Cherokee 235 and my a&p suggested that I replace them with overhauled ones. Does anyone know a place on the Northeast where I can get good overhauled cylinders? How much will that cost me? Preferably I’d like a shop where I just swap out my old...

Hello. I recently moved to an area near KGAI and I'm considering parking my bird there for the multiple maintenance options and services. I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with Deblois Aerospace or GAI Aircraft Services and could give me a review of their maintenance quality...

I'm thinking about selling my Cherokee 235 and moving to a 6 seater. However, I don't want to lose the ability to burn MOGAS... because, 100LL is just crazy expensive. Does anyone know of or own a 6 seat single that can burn MOGAS (legally)?

I finally upgraded my panel. I kept my existing KT 74 and added a GNS 430W and G5 DG/HSI. I was told that the transponder would be able to do ADSB-Out with just the 430W addition but apparently it needs an airspeed switch attached to the pitot system. My avionics guy tells me that Bendix/King...

Does anyone know where I can get a vinyl wrap done on my aircraft on the east coast of the US? I plan to paint the plane myself and have a vinyl wrap for the stripes and detail work.

i have a KT 74 installed in my aircraft. I am having a Garmin GPS-500W installed. I need some clarification if these two devices together will allow the KT 74 to be used for ADS-B out or do I need something else? Thanks in advance for your help

Hey. I'm looking for a good indicator to pair with my new Garmin GPS-500. I will be sending it away for a WAAS upgrade next year so I'm looking for an indicator that has GS capability. I have a KI 209 installed right now and I would like to add another indicator specifically for the GPS.

I just bought a heated pitot for my 1965 Cherokee 235. I am wondering how many hours an installation will take. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the A&P that I use (I am new to my local area and I am using the A&P for the first time). Does anyone have a Cherokee and know the...

Hello. I'm just finishing up my IFR rating and have no GPS in my aircraft. Is installing a GNC300xl worth it? Please share your experience with this gps as I'd like some insight. Ideally, I'd like a 530W but that's just not feasible right now.

Hello. I'm considering getting a Nexnav Mini to pair with my KT-74 in order to become 2020 compliant. Has anyone here purchased one? How much do they cost? Do they come with a WAAS antenna? Is there a more reliable solution available? Thanks for the help.

So. I have a KT-74 Transponder in my aircraft with no GPS. Everything about the KT-74 says that it's ads-b out capable but I've been told that I need a WAAS GPS to go with it. I don't have the kind of money to shell out for a panel mount GPS system, so my question is, can't I just hook up a WAAS...

Hey ladies and gents. I just ordered a new carpet for my aircraft from Airtex and I plan to redo my interior one step at a time. Does anyone know of any tutorial videos on how to do this. I have a bit of corrosion and what I'm tracking the process should go like this: 1. Remove seats/everything...

Hey ladies and gents. For those of you who don't know I'm a relatively low time pilot who just bought my first plane. (Piper Cherokee 235) I was wondering what are some tips/tricks that you guys use to lower the cost of ownership. I'm already planning to do owner assisted annuals, and other...
