Worthless unless you are close to a retread shop. I talked to the folks at Wilkerson and they will buy GA-sized tires (6.00x6, 5.00x5), but the shipping costs more than the casing value. If you have a pallet of them, you may be able to ship in a cost-effective manner to at least cover your...

With that amount of hours on the engine, you may consider the factory overhaul route if you plan to sell the plane in the future. Starting over with 0 hours in the engine log book would help with resale. Some shops will also refuse to overhaul your engine once the case has been reworked more...

PVASI at KAJG. How sad is it that I was excited to see this the first time I landed there at night!

We still have a few spots open on Saturday, April 30th for this AOPA Town Hall and safety seminar in South Saint Paul, MN. Reserve your free spot today by e-mailing prescottflyingevents@gmail.com

Prescott Flying Club, with help from Wipaire, Inc., will be hosing an AOPA Town hall event on Saturday April 30th at Fleming Field (KSGS) in South Saint Paul, MN. President Mark Baker and Vice President of Communications Katie Pribyl will speak starting at 9am. Following their presentation...

Maybe I am mis-reading the question here, but let me take a stab. I read your update with the two power supplies as well, but not 100% positive on how they are wired on your plane. If this is a Whelen power supply with a trigger connector, you should not meter any voltage off of the output of...

Be careful not to over-torque the rocker cover gaskets if you are using the silicon seals. The extra thickness will allow you to bend your rocker covers if over-torqued. Lots of people just wrench down on them if they are leaking, which only squishes the gaskets out and makes the problem...

As others have stated, a pre-buy examination is whatever you want it to be. Because this is not an inspection, there is no work that is required by regulations. The pre-buy would be billed at the shop rate and the time required would depend on how in-depth you want them to go. Make sure you...

I think $5000 for the GDL-88 is pretty optimistic. The installation will likely run you another $1500 or so with the antenna installation. If support for your 480 is not guaranteed, you might consider something like the new GDL-84 that is coming out in a few months. It has an internal...

My flying club recently purchased an SR-20. We are based in MN and took a tour of the Cirrus factory to give our members the opportunity to learn more about our new plane. Our tour was given by Cirrus's former chief test pilot and he provided some great insight. He stated that in 40% of...

That should give you a rough equivalent value for each plane.

As someone who has sold a plane and been involved in the purchase of two this year, I can tell you my thought process on these questions. Others may have different opinions. I don't think that engine time is as important the history. Look at the books and make sure the low time plane hasn't...

Hi Guys.... I am looking to have a pre-buy and annual inspection completed on a Piper Arrow near Palo Alto, CA in the next couple weeks. I am not familiar with the area and am looking for a good recommendation to get an honest assessment of the condition of this plane before proceeding with...

I've experienced this on both a Cirrus and on the JPI-700 systems on multiple Pipers. On the Cirrus plane, the problem ended up being one of the CHT probe wires rubbing on the corner of the exhaust manifold. The wire would occasionally show a dead short, which spikes the CHT to 500 degrees...

Sale pending.

565lbs useful with full tanks. 48 gallons usable.

I just updated the link to the photos, as some were having problems viewing the previous one.

That's really clever! Never occurred to me.

The plane is currently at KSGS in South Saint Paul, MN
