Do not try and fly your plane until you get this figured out ! There have been numerous accidents where pilot seats (in many aircraft) slip out of the lock pins, and the natural instinct is to grab...

As I mentioned before, just go buy some electric cleaner and spray the switches yourself. Blow them off with air.

I don't know this for a fact but I have always felt that the reason the doors might...

Buy some electronic cleaner in a spay can (it's like brake cleaner, only you can use it on electronics). Pump the doors open and spray all of your door switches and locks. Then blow them off with...

PS :)

I agree that aircraft values in general are down. In some catagories of aircraft more than others. I also believe that but for the outstanding SID question which has yet to be resolved one...

Paul

I understand that you want to maintain your operating altitude in the teens because of where you live, but isn't that the only reason to own a turbo?

My question is : is there any advantage...

Strato...

With all due respect, you really do not seem to have a clue. Your first example has NO LOGS. If you have ever owned an airplane, you would know what that means, and if not, then it's not...

Great video, 2nd half about the O2 (337)

Especially interesting is that during the Vietnam War, if you were a corporate owner of a Skymaster your aircraft was confiscated by the US Govt, and...

Mine is dead on within 1/10th of a gallon on fillups of 100 gallons. Don't know how it works, but much like when your wife knows you are lying, a fuel computer knows how much fuel you actually use.

I am surprised that no one has developed an STC to just hook all of the tanks together, like in my 1980H model. Back when I had my 1970 model it was always time this, wait for that then turn this...

Depends on hull value. Figure aprox $3500- for a $150,000 hull. An instrument ticket saves you about 10%.
