Someone on 180/185 FB said they're $6900.

Somebody reported on the 180/185 FB group that the set-up for a 180/185 costs $6900. FWIW it's not STC'd, it's approved via NORSEE.

"I know a guy who knows a guy" who got chewed on by US Customs when returning from Canada and couldn't produce a medical, only his Basic Med...

Is this for a Cub? Pretty sure that kit p/n is for a Cessna.

That's your opinion, but not mine. Kinda like IMHO my 88" Mac prop doesn't need improving... but an awful lot of people must disagree with me,...

I'd like to put a rear-mounted alternator on my C180, run off the vacuum pump pad. But besides approval issues, which are probably significant, the...

A while back, AOPA said they were pushing the Basic Med / Canada thing. Are they still trying, or did they give up? Seems like if the Canadian...

A lot of buzz on-line about this very recently, and the Acme website has a pic & a blurb, but no price listed. Anyone know?

Even being unsuccessfully sued would be a major PITA. I've never been involved in a lawsuit (thank god) & hopefully never will.

If there's any truth to this: "Over .92 mach the airflow begins to detach from the propeller which decreases efficiency and dramatically increases...

I'm curious why this might be the case? FWIW there's a javelin tank listed on Barnstormers right now-- $3K, in Spokane. BARNSTORMERS.COM Find...

I think after a lot of mfr's jumped thru the hoops to build extra light aircraft to meet the LSA parameters that it would be doing them a...

Per pponk's tip speed calculator: 80" at 2700 = 643 mph (.8677 mach) 86" at 2700 = 691 mph (0.932 mach) this is at 20' Celsius ponk sez the...

I'm surprised to see that pic. I have no experience with moose, but I've heard they can be pretty ornery, and I've seen videos of them getting...

An admittedly long winded example of an airplane being "for sale" when the owner didn't really want to sell it. Thought it might be a similar...

I wonder what happened with his other deal? Here's what happened with an "airplane for sale" at my airport. The owner tells me he wants to sell...

I'm having a hard time figuring out your situation. When you went to look at the airplane, the seller told you it was promised to someone else......

About 25 years ago, I put my first airplane (stock c150) up for sale. A guy got ahold of me, and gave me a sob story about it being too tough for...

I agree that this is certainly possible, but... does anyone here personally know of a case when that has happened? A guy on my airport built an...

I assume MOSAIC is an acronym...what does it stand for?

FWIW this website might not be what you need right now, but it's pretty interesting. Sort of a "what fits what" all about continental 4 bangers. ...

This is what makes me wonder why some people paint their airplanes the way they do. Camo is so things will blend in-- the last thing I want to do...

If I understood him, apparently the standard practice at Jack Brown's is to set the altimeter to zero even though the seaplane base is at 140' ASL....

I didn't realize you were keeping it in the nosedragger configuration. Seems like there's lots of trashed / derelict 150's around-- it might be...

I've heard a lot of reports of leaking wet wings on later model Cessna's. One later model 182 on my airport has had the tank(s) resealed more than...

Ditto. I agree about the radio, I was surprised to see McSpadden suggest that maybe it was time for Jack Brown's to use ADSB, yet he didn't say...

The Tx Taildragger STC was marketed by Custom Aircraft Conversions, then Aircraft Conversion Technologies, then finally was purchased by DelAir. I...

I hard-wired in a couple mini/micro USB connectors I bought off Amazon for my ADSB-in and my tablet. They're in use every flight- no static. I also...

I double-checked my 53 model, no rivet. I looked in my 1962 & earlier maintenance manual, there was no mention of an indexing rivet in the...
