Does anyone here have experience with either of the two insurers listed above? Does one have a better reputation when settling claims? thx

If anyone here is looking to sell a set of rudder pedal extensions for a 1962 C182 please let me know.

I’m thinking of replacing the passenger door window on my 182 with one that has a camera port so that it can be flown open in the summer for better ventilation. Looking at the door, it seems like a LOT of rivets are going to have to be drilled, replaced, then paint touched up. Is that the case...

I’m not looking to sell my RV4 but looking to add or partner on something more capable for aerobatics. The RV is slippery, has a good bit of dihedral, a high lift wing and isn’t all that suited for inverted / outside maneuvers, snaps or potential tail slides. I’m not really looking to compete...

Looking for any pireps about Aircraft Windshield Co. I’m looking to replace some plastic in my 182 and this company seems to have the best prices on the UV blocking material but I can’t find any reviews or feedback on them. any pireps would really help. Thx! https://www.aircraftwindshield.com/

In preparing for my mechanic to do the annual on my 182 and as a generally good idea I have tried to purchase an assortment of hardware that may need to be replaced so that all the parts are on hand. I have 1962 182E and I have the parts manual which I have been using to determine the correct...

I know, I should upgrade to an AV30 or a G5 but I’m not ready to go there just yet as it won’t stop with just one of those. my vacuum driven attitude indicator is not indicating correctly and I suspect that it is ready for OH. what shops are generally regarded as doing good work for a fair...

I’m using Royco 756 which seems to only be available in non-resealable cans. What type of plastic is safe to store the remain fluid in? thx

The current Official info on the Woodward websites is listing a 500 hour TBO for their piston prop governors which seems ridiculous. In the real world are most folks taking them to engine TBO? Thx!

In looking for shimmy dampener replacement options for a 182E it seems that neither the Lord option or the McFarlane option will fit. There is a compatibility gap with both of those companies as far as new shimmy dampeners are concerned with the 182E through 182J (1962 - 1966) where it seems...

I’m new to owning an O470-r and as we head into summer am thinking ahead to oil choices. I normally run Phillips XC20-50 + camguard but given that these engines were not originally designed around multi viscosity oils I’m wondering if I should go straight weight in the summer? anyone here ever...

I’m looking to upgrade the 3-point belts in the 182 to actual harnesses. It seems that BAS is the only option for the inertia reel type for certified planes and boy are they proud of them (4x the cost of a basic 4-point harness). Are there any other inertia reel options out there? It would be...

I’m having trouble finding o-rings or a seal kit for an early wide body 182 shimmy damper. The part number for the shimmy damper is 1442112 which according to the parts manual lines up with mid-year 1964 through 1966 year models...neither of which have a mcfarlane or aircraft spruce option...

This one is hard to describe and I’m struggling to get an A&P to the field to determine what is going on and if there is a safety issue. there is some very low friction play (3/16” or so) when you push or pull the throttle knob. The rod-end bearing, bolt, nut, washers and throttle arm are all...

I’m having a bit of confusion when looking at legal options to update an original oil temp gauge in an older Cessna 182. I see many basic options available that are TSO’d and PMA approved but aside from a some full blown engine monitor packages there look to be only two options claiming to be...

Does anyone here have a link to the service manual for the 1962-1968 Cessna 182? It’s pretty easy to find the manual for 1969 onward but I can’t seem to find one for the 1962-1968 years. thx!

I’m looking for suggestions on tugs and equipment that would be able to move a Cessna 182 in and out of an open hangar and around the field which is grass. Electricity is available; just not pavement! thx

I am looking to upgrade a panel currently without any GPS or autopilot so that it will have an IFR legal gps. It already has a working King CDI so I believe that the Garmin GPS175 is essentially plug and play after the WAAS antenna is mounted (or could it use the one feeding a GDL82?) are...

I’m looking to add a few vinyl graphics to my plane and am trying to determine what grade of pvc (or other) is appropriate so that I don’t damage the paint when the graphics are removed. Any idea what type / brand of film I should use? thx?

Is there any kind of consensus here on who the top 3 insurance brokers are? I understand that most of them shop the same policies but I prefer to do business with the ones who are well regarded when it comes to servicing the client. Specifically, I would like to get email responses within a...
