I went ahead and bought the G3 landing and taxi lights. Turns out, my mechanic had already installed lights for me. So now I've got a brand new, still in box pair. I'm in North NJ and can probably fly 'em over to you or half way. Have all receipts. $250/each

Just started happening in the colder weather but it looks like the 430W in my bird doesn't fully render the screen properly until it's been on 5min or so. I'll get weird symbols in places where I would expect something else. Once "warm" the thing is fine. Anyone else experienced this sort of...

I have a PS Engineering (PM3000) intercom wired to my KMA24. I hate that I can only listen or transmit on either COM 1 or COM 2 in my headset. If I want to hear both, one has to be by speaker. If I bought a PMA7000- unit and had someone properly credentialed slide it in, e.g. leaving the PM3000)...

My 1964 plane has what I can only call a "old machine" smell. Reminds me of visiting an old Navy boat in NYC: steal, grease and oil. I don’t mind but my daughter comments every time; son pipes up too. It eminates from the pedals, control cables, hoses, old paint and firewall. I've taken some...

I was not expecting anything, really, cause of supply constraints and all the general backlog of damn near everything. However, I read there is new stuff being showcased (https://aea.net/convention/2022/Press_newsitem.asp?ID=5078.) I just can't seem to find anything at all in the news or even...

My bird has an EDM-700 w/ fuel flow and oil temp. I get that going from 2ndry to primary means a complete reinstall of all current sensors plus RPM and MP probes. What other probes need to be added as "standard" and which ones are optional? Spoken to a few places and two are trying to get me to...

I am trying to get a few hours in a Maule to see if they're the right plane for me and potentially lower my insurance if they are. Was pointed to a Roatan Aviation (http://roatanaviation.com/) but emails are bouncing. Anyone know someone else who can help?

Looks like the market for used cars is also going the same way that the plane market is going, demand up and supply easy down. https://www.npr.org/transcripts/933497794

I honestly don't get it. I have wanted to buy for a while but my wife never wanted to commit until COVID. This new trend of already sold listings baffles me. Why do brokers list a plane that's already under contract? Hell, why do I see "SOLD" in a brand new description listed that day? What's...

Which costs more in hours, installing on a stock 70s 6-pack with no HSI ...say, a cessna 172? Seems like the hardware costs are similar so looking past capabilities and tradeoffs between the two, just wondering what'd take longer to do? For reference: MSRP of the G3X is $7995 MSRP of GI 275 is...

Don't get me wrong this bird is amazing. Only way it could be better is with an RSTOL. IO-550, more Garmin glass than needed, beautiful paint, etc.: http://www.skywagons.com/airplanes-forsale/1954-cessna-180-skywagon-315000-not-here-placerville-n180xr ...but it's also a 1954 Cessna. So is this...

I swear I see a new listing using pictures from Airmart, Skywagons or Indy daily. They only stay up a day before they're taken down. Sometimes they use the same numbers from the stolen ad, sometimes they make things up. Has there just been more of these lately or am I just more in tune to how...

Given the prevalence of salt during the winter months up in the northeast of the country, what would it take to maintain a 182 that was 80% bare aluminum? Assume it's flown 2x a week regardless of season and kept in a hangar. Reason I'm asking is that, given the quotes from the various shops it...

I can't seem to find this anywhere in the Googles. What years and model 182s had the overhead windows? Is there an STC to add them?

If all you have is Garmin gear, your data plan payment is fairly straightforward. What I'm curious about is what do you use if you have an Aspen 2000 w/synth vis and Avidyne IDF-440? Do you have to pay for each separately? What's that cost?

Perhaps there's something to be learned from a manufacturer who has thousands of data points; touch screens out, HUDs in. I haven't flown a touchscreen yet but I wonder... https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1121372_why-mazda-is-purging-touchscreens-from-its-vehicles

I got to fly an SR20 G6 the other day and one of the things it had was a fuel imbalance enunciator. Being a Cessna guy who's only ever had to set fuel to "both" I found this quite enjoyable. Sures gives a safety net above and beyond just a timer. Is there any retrofitavionics out there which...

If we have the engine opened up so that we can get a borescope in to examine the cam shaft, shouldn't there be an entry marked in the log books indicating as such? Should it be a worry if it wasn't entered, e.g. won't invalidate any insurance or anything like that?

I'm looking at https://www.aircraftbluebook.com/Tools/ABB/ShowEngines.do?sortKey=&sortOrder=&pageNavigation=all and I see 4 columns: New Outright, New Exchange, Remanufactured Exchange and Average Overhaul Installed. When I look at the VREF from AOPA I am seeing much different numbers for...
