I am in the process of doing this with a Mustang II. The plane was registered and flew for 250 hours. It had a ground loop accident and then was converted to tri-gear. The owner then died (not aviation related) and the plane was de-registered, engine and avionics removed. I bought the fuse...

'66 Mooney M20E Super 21. I call her The Mistress.

You are right about that! I belong to the ILM Pilot’s Association and they are trying to change the perception. My (kid) brother has a canal-front in Fairfield Harbor for his sailboat. Our ‘baby’ brother has a huge RV for camping. He remarked to me the other day that he is land, the bro in New...

I am looking for an A&P/IA willing to do an owner assisted annual with me at my hangar in Wilmington, NC. I have done the annual this way before and have requisite tools and equipment as well as an endorsement from my current A&P/IA. I am moving to Wilma from Texas.

Are there private hangars for rent at KILM?

Anybody know what size/type plug the IcyBreeze Remote Control takes?

This is exactly why I posted this query. I have done fast taxi before (while current). You just call the tower and request 'fast taxi'. When they give you the runway, you are legal to use it and at any speed you like. What you do not have is permission to TO. The conclusion here is that no one...

Fast taxi allows you to "fly" an aircraft on the ground. You just take it up near rotation speed, but don't. Gives you engine cooling and exercises everything without actually flying. A runway is a great place to do this, especially a long one.

The bottom line is insurance. Apparently the FAA does not care much as long as the aircraft is not in flight, then rules apply (VFR & IFR). Insurance distinguishes between in motion (taxi) and not in motion (hangared/tied down/parked). Taxiing apparently is nothing more than driving a vehicle...

Sooooo...I went down, pulled her out and taxied around without actually going onto a taxiway--there's a lot of tarmac around the public hangars. I was able to warm up the engine, do a run-up, check the prop, scrub the rust off the brakes, etc., but I would have liked to do a "fast taxi" down a...

I am not current (late by a few months on my FR), but my medical is valid. I want to go and start up my plane and taxi it around. I am guessing that is legal since I don't plane to TO. What about a fast taxi on the runway?

I am very disappointed as I thought this would be the $2000 solution. $3450 wouldn't be bad INSTALLED. Oh well, we still have five years and a couple of wake-ups.

Does anyone here know the manufacturer and part number of the infamous display panel in a KLN-89B?

Just a quick update. I bought a vintage Garwin horizontal-dial DG off eBay that is the exact P/N that was in my Mooney the day it left the factory at KERR. Great desk item. Anyway, I fired it up using a mini-shop vac and it ran fine. The mini-vac easily pulls and maintains 4.5" Hg or so. I...

Why? I have a Mooney and the AP (3-axis) as well as the retractable step, the AI and DG all run off vacuum. I want to play and troubleshoot. No, one does not want to put pressure at all, no way, no how into a vacuum system. 4.5" Hg is what I need.

I want to hook a vacuum pump up to my plane and run the vacuum-based systems (AI, DG, Brittain AP). Anybody doing this? Will a shop vac work or is something more/less powerful called for?

Yeah, I did the whole engine in Pt on my Mooney. Useful load went to hell but WTF, it looks great and it's only money.

Looking to buy a one or two place system.
