My friend has run into a financial emergency and really needs to sell his airplane. It is a 1965 Piper Cherokee 140. This a/c was purchased some years ago by an A&P/IA that restored it. It was in a hangar all that time. Then a few years back my friend acquired the a/c in some kind of business...

Last Thursday, there was a very very cool looking airplane parked outside the FBO at Lantana, KLNA. I took some pictures then went inside for a bit. Fellow came in asking where to pay for fuel and damn if it wasn't Kermit Weeks. I said hey Kermit Weeks, let me shake your hand. We chatted a bit...

So I just bought a basic airplane. An American Yankee AA-1. I'm going to need ADSB out and I don't think the Sky Beacon is an option. Maybe the Tailbeacon will be but I can go with a Garmin transponder ADSB out for $3K. ADSB in and out for $5K. If I was just going with the transponder I wouldn't...

So my friend has two airplanes, both were out of annual, and little cash. I got the American Yankee through annual last September and he was supposed to sell it but never did. Then he had a prop strike. While fixing that last month, the annual ran out. I did the prop strike and the 100-hour (my...

Disregard

So please correct me if I am wrong, but I have heard that if you have a low cylinder where you haven't seen that historically, that one thing you might want to try is just flying the airplane for 10 hours and checking it again. I'm getting 20 psi on one cylinder of an O-235. Last time I...

So I figured it out. Was making my breakfast and thinking about yet another thread about logging time that you are not entitled to log. Then it came to me. A simple modification will allow two pilots to log PIC in VFR without the use of a pesky hood or Foggles. Simply disable/lock/remove the...

Good propeller, IMO. No logs. Purchased by my friend who had a prop strike. It arrived painted but I wanted it stripped for inspection before I would put it on the airplane. Also, couldn't read the numbers without taking the paint off. After I got the paint off and checked the TCDS, I realized...

Selling this Breitling also for my friend that recently had the prop strike. He's trying to fund the repair. I fronted the cost of a new (used) propeller and my labor so a portion of the proceeds go to me. Other than that I'm not taking a commission. The airplane is back together and I test ran...

POA SPECIAL PRICE $2800 $2500. I am going to make our bottom dollar price offer here because I will not have to pay a fee to eBay. Selling this on eBay for my friend. They seem to be going on eBay for $3,500 sometimes without all the extras that this one has so I priced it a bit high there...

If you know what these are then you know what these are. I am buying something from a fellow that shut down his air ambulance operation and is selling two of these units. He says he paid $58k each for them new, LifePort told him that they have a market value of $20K each used, and he is looking...

Something aviation-related. I should have the zip soon for a closer location. TIA. Edit: 15317

A month or so ago, I posted that Sears would give you back $300 in points doled out $15/week if you spent $300 now. At the time, I needed a battery for my Saab but that battery came back to life just fine so never did the deal. Now I need a battery for one of the pickups that I bought off a...

Couple questions on used parts for aircraft, 1. What is the difference between a yellow tag and an 8130-3? 2. When, if ever, is a yellow tag REQUIRED in order to comply with FAR's for Part 91 personal-use light (under 12,500) a/c? 3. When, if ever, is an 8130-3 REQUIRED in order to comply...

I obscured the text on the flight manual.

Is there anyone that can ride/fly by there and pick up something for me and drop it at a convenient FedEx/UPS store? http://www.airnav.com/airport/KHES

Fellow down here in FL has asked me accompany him to MI to pick up a Cherokee 6. Aircraft is in annual. Only 200 miles from KOSH so thinking about a day trip. Probably later in the week, Friday or Saturday. Never been though I've flown into SnF a number of times. Where would be the least hassle...

I spend the night on a couch in the hangar so I could get an early start and beat some of this damn heat. At 5:30 AM, I went to the ramp to start on this airplane. By 6:30 AM, the sun not up and it was already 84° and muggy. Shirt already soaked with sweat. Did what I needed to do and was out of...

My mom passed away this afternoon at the age of 98. She was a hell of a survivor. Survived emigrating from Germany penniless with her family in the mid-1920's. Survived the Great Depression, WW2 home front. Survived the abuses of my late bedeviled PTSD WW2-vet dad. Survived multiple suicide...
