    Rental car woes

    So I sent an email to the CEO at Enterprise and everything was refunded very quickly. Its amazing how sometimes you have to go all the way to the top to get the right thing done.

    Upgrading a 67 Cherokee

    Wow! 2 G5s and a 375 for $25k. That seems high to me. I did one G5 and a GNC355 along with a 330ES for under $15k, although I already owned the 330ES so it was just install cost

    One wrong spark plug

    I dont know. Thats kind of the answers I expected from my mechanic but instead I got, “thats odd, go get the correct one.” Here is a picture of the two. The one on the top is correct, the bottom is not

    One wrong spark plug

    I had a seat of the pants vibration in my plane and what I perceived to be a bit of a rough running engine. My mag checks were all good and my engine monitor did not show anything wrong. I decided to pull and clean my plugs and I noticed that the bottom plug on cyl 4 is different than all the...

    How do you find the air to air frquency?

    So 123.45 was the frequency they were talking about because I flew out to Catalina and back. Now I see why, because it was over the ocean so its an Oceanic air to air frequency

    Flying South-of-the-Border (Part 2 of 2): Busy on the Radio (Full ATC)

    I'm planning on making a trip to Ensenada in the near future but I've heard horror stories of the cartel placing drugs in small planes that they know will be heading back to the States. Have you ever had any issues?

    Cleared through Class Bravo @

    This morning I was making my very long commute to work from KSEE to KMYF and decided to do a touch and go at KRNM. After one T&G I departed direct to KMYF. I called up SoCal Approach for clearance through the Bravo direct. They cleared me through the Bravo direct KMYF @ or above 2500' then...

    Whats the difference in autopilots?

    Whats the difference in autopilots?

    Whats the difference in autopilots?

    I have a Piper Comanche and Im shopping for autopilots. The Garmin GFC500 has STC approval but will cost between $15k and $18k installed. Thats alot of money. The Pro Pilot Trio looks like it will get an STC this year and from what Ive seen should be between $8k to $10k installed. I have a...
