    Alternatives to Plexus?

    I'm late to the party. My 2 cans are finally running on fumes, and to my wonderful surprise I see this is now out of stock everywhere. What are some good alternatives before I attempt Pledge on the windshield?

    Garmin GNS530 - sensitive squelch

    Has anyone ever experienced a radio where it constantly goes in and out of squelch and you can see the RX flashing on and off? It's like the squelch is too sensitive and distance comms are breaking it. You switch to another channel, and it stops. We had a shop put it on the bench and adjust...

    New Windshield - appears to be a defect

    Just got a new windshield installed in a 182. I finally had a chance to see it, since my partner flew it home when it was done. I noticed what looks like a defect in the windshield right near the pilot's overhead air vent. Can anyone shed some light on this? It looks like an obvious defect...

    Can anyone help me find the copper crush gaskets for a 182H oil filter?

    I'm trying to find the exact gaskets I need. I'm on various sites looking at AN900, but I can't find my exact sizes for the large gasket for where the filter screws in to the block and the small gasket for the bolt that is used to reassemble the entire filter screen. (Bonus question if anybody...

    Lost a cowl flap on a 182. Tips to prevent this in the future?

    Sadly lost one flying recently. She’s a 65 H model and never even considered this possibility. Luckily I found a replacement and the repair seems simple enough. I was horrified thinking I’d find damage somewhere, but it looks like the hinge came loose and away she went. Cowl flap inspections...

    Best place to buy touchup paint if I have paint code?

    Looking to touch up a few peeled spots on the leading edges. Logbooks say I need Matterhorn white code 570-535. Is there a preferred place to buy a small bottle? Is there a "best approach" to touching up? Or, basically perform like touching up a car? Thanks!

    Does a failed annual cancel out the last annual even if inside 12 months?

    I saw a hypothetical come up. Potential buyer goes full annual on a plane that is for sale. The A&P finds an issue that needs to be fixed in order to pass annual. The last, successful annual was done less than 12 months ago. If the owner say no and wants to fly it away, is he still legal and...

    182 few streaks of oil on the windshield

    Flew 90min this morning. Nearing the destination, I noticed some spots and streaks on the window. Landed and verified it’s oil. First check was prop and hub. All that looks clean and dry. Noticed a few more streaks on the cowl near the front. The oil cooler is wet in several areas. Any chance...

    Cessna 182H cracked windshield by defrost

    So this just happened. Took off this morning and all of a sudden noticed a 4” vertical crack near the defrost. There have been a few tiny specks in the windshield there for the longest time. I assume one of them was bound to go eventually. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Makes me...

    182H aileron max deflection question after brs chute install

    Just had a brs chute installed on my 182H. I believe they loosen the aileron rigging to install the parts around the wing. Plane flies fine and seems identical to before (with a more rearward CG). However, I can’t recall if the ailerons were like this before. Checking the controls for max...

    Clock for IFR

    Hi everyone, New to us 182H has everything needed to satisfy IFR certification except a clock. Garmin GNS530 and the old KT76A transponder (with no clock obviously). Everything I read says the timer in the 530 isn’t good enough. We also don’t have a place to install a clock on the panel...
