    Selling my headset...something that just didn't work out. DC 1-X absolutely perfect condition and just like NEW. No more than a few hours on them, no box but the storage bag and paper owners manual. $700.00 and you pay shipping to your zip...like I said, essentially unused. Paypal or Venmo...

    O-Ring Faiulure

    Interesting post-mortem... Right main strut, Cherokee PA-28 160...not a perfect landing but not hard either. As soon as it was on the ground and all the weight shifted to the gear, it collapsed and the plane tried to make a HARD right turn. I was training and my instructor instinctively...

    Garmin Pilot PC Interface

    I've looked and really cannot find a solid answer... Is there a way to build waypoints and routes on the PC and import them into Garmin Pilot? Every app and program in the free world has a way to interface and share data...even tight a$$ Google Earth and Maps can import and export data. Is...

    Lake Powell...

    What an amazing place...Boated on Powell for years but this was my first flyover, beyond rugged! Landed at Cal-Black (U96) for fuel and headed back home (KCDC).

    Med 3

    Well, it's been almost a year since I submitted my initial application to the FAA for my Med3 and correspondence has been extremely slow...painfully slow. They have asked for everything but my kitchen sink and the website has always said "In Review". So, this morning I check the website and...

    No Polarization Sunglasses

    I have prescription eyeglasses and went looking for NON-POLORIZED prescription sunglasses for the plane...Seems everything available is polarized with polycarbonate lenses. I can get cheaper plastic and have them tinted but that isn't what I'm after... Where are you getting your sunglasses??

    Magneto Question

    Man, this is bugging me...So the mags are out of the Cherokee with a Lycoming 0320 for service and repair. Before sending them off, I popped off the cover to look at the points...what is puzzling me is the rotor has TWO lobes to break the points. I'm thinking back to the old days in autos when...

    Garmin Pilot Question

    If you build a route on your tablet using GP, is there a way to send that route (or even user created waypoints) to another user of GP? Like between PIC and co-pilot? Another awesome feature would be to build a route on the PC and send it to your tablet... Obviously I have a lot to learn about...

    Magnetos

    How often are you guys actually servicing magnetos? I'm talking about early stuff...ours is 1962 Cherokee. The logs are a bit sketchy (IMHO) for the last 20 years and I'm not sure if they have (if ever) had any service. We recently had a mag drop go from acceptable to not, in a few short weeks...

    Need a Prop...

    So, the sad story is...we've had a vibration and had a guy come out to check/balance our prop. Turns out the prop is bad. Not so much out of balance but "bent"...where one blade is running one inch out of plane with the other...makes it "wobble". Bottom line...we need a new prop. These buggers...

    New Radios...

    We're pretty excited...We're finally scrapping out the old, one and only radio in the 1962 Cherokee 160. It's getting replaced with two Garmin GTR 225's and a GMA 345 com/audio panel. At the same time we're installing rear com connections. It would have been nice to get Nav/Com but we're on a...

    Intercom Jack Plates

    We're wanting to extend the intercom to the rear of our older Cherokee and I'm looking for plates and jacks to mount on the side panels...with little luck. We're going to install a second radio (it only has one now) and a GMA345 audio panel What have you used and what can you recommend for...

    Lycoming Oil Pan

    Here's a technical question...What is behind the design of the oil pan on a o-320 oil pan. The carburetor attaches to the bottom and the intake runners flow through the sump of the pan. I've worked on hotrods, boats, motorcycles etc. and I'm not familiar with this design. Gott'a be a good...

    Replace Bendix/King KLN 89B

    We've got a KLN 89B that throws a boot error. It's older than dirt and we need to replace it, not wanting to chop up the dash, we need something that will fit in the hole. In the opinion of this hallowed community, what would you choose as a NAV/COM replacement. New is nice but we're not...

    Windshield

    We bought the full set of windows for our Cherokee and my son and I replaced all the side windows, which came out amazing BTW. The wind screen was installed by a shop at the airfield (not here but out of state where the plane is now). The pelican who did the work scratched the left side...

    Comms and Aeronautical Lexicon

    I'm just starting to learn to fly and have whopping 8 hours of seat time. I'm finding it more of a challenge than I ever gave it credit but I am learning and getting more confident after every flight. What I'm really struggling with is communications...and I'm not even flying from a towered...

    FAA/PPL and Med Cert

    So, my son started flying and got his PPL. It got me super excited and I decided I wanted to fly too. We went together and bought a super nice Cherokee 160 and we split it down the middle. I am presently taking lessons and learning to fly... Here's the kink...Before I even started I got...

    Vx and Vy

    I'm having a hard time getting my head around Vx and Vy. After research and study, I still don't understand why Vx is actually at a lower speed than Vy. My intuition is it should be a faster speed. Any help understating this is appreciated...

    Garmin Pilot

    Recently got GP and in some areas of this program, there is a bit of a learning curve. I have yet to find a full tutorial that covers its potential. Has anyone got information or a link that will help us less informed. One thing that is driving me nuts is...how does one "markup" or draw lines...
