Need Engine for 170B

Hello all Looks like I need an engine for my 54 170B. It is a C145-2 We pulled 2 cylinders that were low this year and found bad lifters. The engine has 750 hours SMOH but that was 45 years ago. Anybody got any leads on a good used engine. 21 grand is a lot of money for a burger getter. Thanks Dick ...

Re: Members Plane - AOPA

Check out AOPA live OCT12. At 18:55 there is a great photo of his plane. I met Vincent at the AOPA fly in at Plymouth MA. in 2014. I had not flown in 30 years but I volunteered to park airplanes on Sunday. After lunch they asked me to help block out planes from the camping area. That's when I saw Vi...

McCauley prop question

Hi All
Does anyone know the correct distance from the blade tip to center of the old McCauley brand sticker?
I am guessing the up blade the sticker is right-side up, and the down blade it is up-side down.

Thanks

Re: ADS-B

Hi All

Re: ADS-B

N2704C is back from the electronics shop with the new ADS-B out Appareo transponder. They replaced the king box for the new transponder and installed a flat gps antenna on the roof. They used my cable and post antenna on the belly. Completed the annual p/m while the interior was out. This was all in...

Re: Marvel Mystery Oil Disrepute

Many years ago I saw a gentleman on the wing of his skyraider pouring MMO into his oil tank. I said "MMO ?" And he put his finger to his lips and said "shhhhh". This was the flight line at an airshow. We used to mix it 50/50 with 5-56 and put it in a spray bottle and spray it on ...

ADS-B

Hi All
Has anyone installed the Appareo Stratus ESG transponder yet?
If so are you happy and what was the labor time you were charged.
I might want to do this now before the rush and I am in a 1 year line.

Re: credit card fraud protection vs AvGas pumps

My brother told me that his credit card company called him one night to verify a $500 purchase. He told them that it was his wife using the card, but thanks for the heads up on the new camera his wife would be giving him for his birthday.
