First, I can't believe ATC somewhere hasn't jumped on this guy. He spends more time trying to be the funny/cute guy on the radio then he does using proper ATC phraseology and procedures. He uses so much unneeded wording that eats up air time, that it's embarrassing. He's a total motor mouth...

There's a large TFR over the Campfire Fire at Paradise CA. Yesterday they added a narrow corridor TFR from Corning CA over to the Campfire Fire TFR. I've never seen a narrow TFR like that, it's also coded "security" Anyone know what it is being used for?

Looking for good low time C-90-12 engine. supercub43@sbcglobal.net

Have looked at pictures, logs, etc. Will have a shop do a pre purchase, current owner is willing to ferry airplane to my location, but won't do so, till aircraft sale has taken place. Do due current circumstances, I'm unable to travel right now. What's the best way to transfer funds...

I'm going to look at a Continental O-200 engine tomorrow. The owner says it had new ECI cylinders installed a couple years ago, however, the pictures show Millennium valve covers. I know you can put any kind of valve cover you want on them. How can you tell the difference between ECI and...

If you're going to work on light single and twins, 1/4 inch ratchet and sockets, normal and deep will work most of the time. Screw drivers, phillips and slots, various sizes and lengths. safety pliers, needle nose, open end wrenches, and box end, what I call 30 degree 60 degree open ends...

You could patch it, call around to salvage yards and get a good one, or buy a new one. Good luck on your search.

Consider just one cylinder in any 4 or 6 cylinder Lyc or Cont. Approximately what percentage of the cylinder head temperature is generated by the ignition and what percentage is generated by friction and heat transferred from other areas? How much difference in cyl head temp between both...

I can appreciate what you're saying............however, I'm happy it's behind me, and hopefully won't have to ever go through such a frustrating situation again. I was on my way to their shop to discuss the matter and rest assured, if needed I was ready to take legal action if necessary...

Why do you have one for sale? If so, send me a private message.

Have I made any decisions.......yes, I'm looking for a Cont O-200 for my project. As for the shop, that is behind me, I'm not pursuing any other actions against the shop if that's what you mean. Like I said, I lost $500 on the deal, but was worth it to get it behind me.

I believe you need to read my previous posts. I was looking for a fair deal, NOT a cheap deal, I've been in aviation most of my life, so maybe not an expert, but I do have experience in the area. I knew it would be more then the initial $5K. However $17K was more then I wanted to put...

Follow up/conclusion to a nightmarish experience. In summary the problems in a condensed version: Work was performed that was not authorized, to the sum of $1,080.98. Over 24 times I was told they would call me back, either that day or the next day. When I was able to connect with someone...

Also suspicious how you know they’re up to $17,000 if they’re not communicating with you. That doesn’t sound quite right, either. If you’ve been having phone conversations with them and they’re misunderstanding your conversations as verbal authorizations or they’re writing down every time you...

My home work comprised of being in aviation for 50 years, working in a shop (although I'm not an A&P) for 10 plus years. The shop I worked in dealt with this company as many other shops in the area. Like I said, the overhaul facility I'm dealing with has a very good reputation and I'd almost...

I bought a Continental O-200 engine 330 smoh a few months ago that had a minor prop strike. At this time, I'm not going to mention the shops name, but it a very well known, long established overhaul shop. When I dropped the engine off, I was told it would be $5000 for the tear down...

You hit the nail on the head.............finally tracked it down............put the old type regulator on and no more problems. Thanks for the help.

The antenna and coax were replaced, so I'm assuming all is good in that area, since the problem is still there with new antennas and coax. I dont' know if the voltage regulator is electronic or not...........however, they are going to try a different regulator. My understanding is, the...

If I remember correctly the 430 is using slightly less power to transmit then the KX 155..........what the numbers are, I don't know.

Sceniro...............1961 Cessna Skylane with generator. Just installed a Garmin 430. also has a KX 155 nav/com, push to talk on left and right yoke. Prior to installation no problems, by the way the 430 replaced a KX 175. Here's the problem. When using the 430 and you push to talk using...
