I had the same problem with a PA-23 unable to clear a lien on the plane, title search company offered title insurance in case anyone ever showed up with a claim and they would pay it off, the selling price went down to the point I bought it. It was a 50 year old Bank lien little chance of...

Ever since one of the annuals I did, the owner lost all the log books of his aircraft I have been taking digital pictures of all the log books and keep them in case this happens again. It does take some time but should it happen again to someone that I recorded all the log books for I am sure...

Great, hope it's a good one and works out for you they are great planes and people love them and keep them for a long time.

Congratulations you bought into a aircraft that has been in continuous production longer than any other aircraft in history. A bit of advice look for someone that knows the aircraft it will save you money in the long run. A good clue if the shop you are going to use only has jacks instead of...

I believe time life on a Robinson in hours and years is the major factor over all other factors for price.

Buying a helicopter is buying time life parts and that sets value of the helicopter so would that also be the value of scrapping a helicopter. Time life -time left over new price in hours or Hughes 269 blades new $30,000 each or 50% left in time life worth about 12 to15K depending on condition...

If you paint a antenna and Polane is out of your price range, a good grade of urethane marine paint will probably work just fine. Just make sure it's not a metallic pigment (or get a clear-coat). do not use paint with metal in it. You should never paint a GPS antenna because the finish is...

Are old helicopters worth more in parts than flying airworthy ones. Helicopter market is very small and old ones even smaller and hard to sell so what is the market for used helicopter parts on Hiller 23, Bell 47, Hughes 269 or time out Robinson 22 or 44 core value.

Cessna wear limit on the flap tracks if the track wear exceeds the manufacture limit can the 100hr or Annual be signed off as airworthy. If so how about tires or spark plugs or any other items the manufacture puts a wear limit on.

Oh great next someone is going to tell me WWF is fake.

After 60+ years not much has changed, pilots are still dead from the same mistakes made then and now. Flight training books got bigger, FAA regulations increased, pilot knowledge and skill level much much better. "How could one make the best pilot possible with a fixed amount of flight time?" I...

Milton is probably going to cost insurance loss and rates to all of us to go up again, as if it was not high now.

What exactly is wrong with the engine, just using oil or oil filter full of metal and no oil pressure?

Takes 2-4 years to become a avionics technician or A&P technician. Avionics technician has an average salary a little higher than the average A&P. The avionics technician works in heated aircraft or hangar in the winter and cool aircraft in the summer the A&P if lucky works in a heated hangar...

As many died in WWII training WWI pilot training killed more percent wise. At the start of WWII Italian, German and Japan had good pilot training at the end not much information on how many died in training, or any other death other than combat, they also flew high performance aircraft.

Like most FAA enforcement depends on the local Flight Standards District Office and the inspectors, some will enforce it to the max, others just lip service to the ruling.

From easy to sell to Hard to sell, Cessna 172 or a PA-28 probably the best selling if you have a good one it sells fast. Tail wheel aircraft Cessna 180 and 185 very good and sell fast, J-3 in a class by itself other rag-bags a little harder to sell. Complex retract, old ones are harder to sell...

Too-big-to-fail, I smell another government bailout.

Boeing 381 high now 154 per share, if this goes on into Jan 2025 who knows. At $100 million a day how long can Boeing hang on, and how long can the strike fund pay those on the picket line.
