Elevator crush repair
Good day all, unfortunately when I had the Cherokee at the airport before being able to move it, some not so kind person ran over the elevator and of course never was told or found out who did it. So I'm left to see about repairing it if its even possible. The corner was damaged and I was wondering, A. how difficult this… -
POSSIBLE INSTALLATION OF ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT SEAT ON OLDER COMANCHES
Having lost height as I have aged, I notice that I cannot look over the instrument panel and see the cowling on my, new to me, Comanche 250. Does anyone have knowledge of an STC for installation of vertically adjustable seats in the older Comanches? I see that Comanche Serial numbers 24-4783 and 24-4804 and up, utilized… -
Changing interior plastic color
For years I've been advising members who are changing interior plastic color to use SEM plastic dye. Recently, another memember (who is refurbishing his plane's interior) alerted me that the product I've been touting is no longer available. Sure enough, he was correct. However there is hope! SEM has a product named Color… -
lights in the KX170B and KX175 inop
My Warrior's lights in the two nav/COMs will not come on. Both the Com and Nav work fine, just no night lights coming on. Checked the old pop out fuzes, nothing popped. Instrument lights come up fine. So, I don't know exactly where the lights are located inside the two nav/coms, but with both out I suspect it is not an… -

Good day all, finally have decided to post here and start digging through the forums. I am currently starting the process of restoring a 1969 Piper Cherokee that I rescued from a small airport.

CHT/EGT Monitor for PA28/180 with Lycoming A3A
Anyone have any recommendations or advice on purchasing and installing a CHT/EGT - I currently have an older EGT only probe with a selector for each cylinder - would be much better to see them all at once along with CHT. I don't really need any of the additional features I see advertised, like fuel flow or hooking it up… -
Cruise leaning
For those that have an engine monitor, where do you like to run your engine at cruise. I'm operating an O-360. Lycoming manual says best economy is peak EGT and best power is about 175 ROP. I tend to run about 65-70% power and at peak EGT. That results in about 8.5 gph. I'm usually not in a big hurry. -
