    Small inexpensive Oscilloscope

    Right now what I have is an acoustic electric guitar with a preamp powered by a 9V battery. The battery is supposed to last 200 hours of playing with the preamp on. The preamp is supposed to only come on when a 1/4" jack is plugged into it. The battery only lasts a couple of weeks with only a...

    If the prop cable breaks, the prop behaves as if the prop knob is all the way in.

    Which will be found 1st; Amelia Earhart or MH370?

    Wouldn't be surprised if US or Russian Navy has already found flight 370. But they dont say. No survivors, not their job, dont want anyone to know they can do that (find an aluminum airplane at the bottom of the sea).

    Small inexpensive Oscilloscope

    Well I also have a model railroad. Nothing fancy, just a portable test instrument. Easy to use. Able to measure differential signals w/o ground. It has to have its own display and power.

    Small inexpensive Oscilloscope

    What are the good ones? It's for audio applications in the performing music industry. One thing I want to be able to do is detect audio signal yes or no coming out of an audio cable. I think they are 20khz and below. I need floating ground because some of the signals are differential etc.

    Can someone tell me the reasoning behind the "Call for price" listings?

    They want you to call them and then they try and convince you to buy it. If you aren't serious, they figure you wont call. Might work sometimes. Might not. Seems to me if someone is serious, they will call regardless of the price.

    Single Seat Checkout

    You read the POH and talk to other pilots that have flown it. You fly a similar plane. A pilot that has flown it stands on the wing next to the cockpit and says, "this is the throttle", "this is the mixture", "watch out for this", etc. Go do a runup and maybe a fast taxi. Then take off.

    Hot starting io-540

    Just some ideas: Sometimes it works to flood the engine, then use full forward throttle (so it gets max air), all the way lean (so it gets no more fuel). Sometimes releasing the starter as SOON as it coughs (release it early) will allow it to catch and go. Sort of like it only starts when the...

    How to do an unnecessary procedure turn?

    It's because it defies common sense. With accurate GPS equipment and lined up for a straight in, the pilot is supposed to ADD RISK, by executing a procedure turn. Fortunately it doesn't happen much because most places have radar coverage. They could easily make a rule that you dont have to do it...

    How fast do you think this would sell?

    You can usually get cash today on his ramp at 40% of appraised value. Then they sell it to a mechanic who fixes it up and they sell it to one of you.

    Help Explain: Best Possible Speed

    I did that once at Denver in my Husky. I was 120 knots, about as fast as I could go and on the parallel runway approach was a Boeing going about as slow as he could. Captain looked over at me and smiled. Gave the tower a nice flyby (I was touch and go).
