My transponder (Bendix/King KT76A) knob for the first digit broke off Friday and I need to send it off for repair. Does anyone have a recommendation for an avionics repair shop. It doesn't have to be close (I live near Sacramento) since I'll be mailing it anyway. For all I care, it could be on the e...

George,
Would you recommend either of these for a vacuum powered ADI overhaul?

I have those same stains/deposits on my cowling. I usually wipe them off every month and every few months I'll wax that area to make it easy to wipe the exhaust stains off the cowling. I fly 2.5 hours per week at 5500-6500', and lean the engine like you described. I very seldom fly in the rain (this...

I just ordered it. It's a hinge that's 6 feet long, but the part number you have is only for half the hinge. If you order MS20257-3-7200 from Univar, you get both sides of the hinge and the connecting pin all for the bargain price of $15.24 thanks again for the info.

OK, thanks for the hints and advice. I guess I deserved the smart-az reply ... being too lazy about calling the distributer I think I'll go with the part for $2.88 that definately fits my budget!

thanks again,

Is the Univar part a long piano hinge that I'd need to cut to the proper length?

Where did you order the part from? I called Aircraft Spruce and Chief and both said they dont' have it and I'll have to go elsewhere to get them.

Thanks,

silly question maybe, but were the cables replaced at the same time as the pulley? If not, they might just be wearing due to age.

Sounds like you've flown her on a windy day

The Villa Venezia restaurant is not within walking distance. Sometimes the folks at the Airport Office might give you a ride into town ... maybe even loan you a personal car. but otherwise you'd have to take a taxi. There is one restaurant within walking distance, the Warehouse Deli, it's maybe a 1/...

Dennis has an excellent restaurant here in Grass Valley, Villa Venezia. It's a favorite of my wife and I. If you're in Grass Valley you should check it out

And therein lies the big difference , not to mention the sportier landings with only centerline gear.

I had a leak I suspected was coming from the Starter last year. Check the threads " Starter Clutch shaft oil seal" and "Starter noise after release" for more information. We pulled the starter and replaced both seals then put a new gasket on when we reinstalled. Initially it seem...

All the U-2 pilots I met were really pretty cool! Besides, how classified can it possibly be when the indicated airspeed at cruise is about the same as a C-170 at cruise

I had a tailwheel towbar that I used to carry along with me everywhere, even though I had the tail pull handles ... but after a year or two of never using the towbar, I took it out of the airplane. The tailpull handles are so good for pushing or pulling that I've never needed the towbar in 6 years o...
