My A65 Continental has 648 hrs since overhaul. During the first 375 hrs the Iron level stayed below 34ppm (July 2009). A gradual rise of Iron to 279 ppm (Aug 2013) aprox. 275 hrs later has been observed. Oil changed every 20-25hrs, no chips noted on screen, compression above 72 in all cylinders, and...

The now acceptable to the goverment electronic medical records includes, by automatic pop up that needs to be answered, the following questions: "Do you own a Gun" and "How many sexual partners -of the same or different sex- have you had in a lifetime?" and many other ones of tha...

The most accurate method to keep time of running engine is the tachometer. That is how I keep track of not only my fuel consumption, but other time depending issues like oil changes, propeller torquing, etc. Unfortunately had to replace my original tachometer, that measured to the 0.01 of an hour, b...

They insured aircraft that are AAA (Antique Aircraft Association) registered members with headquarters in Blakesburg, IOWA (IA27).
Excellent coverage at very good price (including the annual fee to the AAA).

I never met Tony Markl in person, but I grief his lost. His experience and teaching in so many aspects of general aviation will be missed. I looked forward to his written articles because always there was a pearl of wisdom.
Will keep him and his wife in our prayers.

Windknot: Contact me if you ever are in the Oklahoma City. We will go flying and have fun, like my 6'4" 250lbs brother in law did. In the meantime, buy "Flying the Aeronca" and read it. Stay away from guys like that jerk of the EAA... fortunately, there are not that many like that fly...

Joe: Here we go again... I have not paid any dues in years, that I can remember. Sometime ago we mentioned about emailing the status of dues, but I have never received any. I doubt to be the only one in that situation. I am sure that the majority of NAA members would like to contribute to the organi...

Dave: I just received today my new Flying the Aeronca. Thank you very much for your nice note and autograph. I will continue to use my worn out original, mainly for the wannabees tail dragger pilots instruction. As I said before, if you fly a Champ, this book is must. I wish you a lot of success. Pa...

I also just bought an iPad and use ForeFlight, to use in my Mooney. In my Champ, I stick with that great invention that does not even needs batteries: a Sectional. And when things get tough then IFR (I Follow Roads).

Phil: If you have an ANR (active noise reduction) headset that might be your problem. I talked to Lightspeed about it and they do not recommend any of their ANR headsets (including the Zulu) with hand held radios. I suggest you connect your cheapest, oldest headset directly to the radio, use not the...

Dave: Most of us avoid anything that has to do with "Insurance and Paper Work". I suggest you to change the location of your offering to sell "Flying the Aeronca" to another place, maybe like "Aeronca General Information". Consult with Joea, who is the master of this wo...

I am delighted that Dave have decided to continue the distribution of his fathers's book.
No matter how experienced you are in a Champ, you will learn from "Flying the Aeronca".

Robert:
I have an old "Flying the Aeronca", but apparently Livingston son's is selling copies for about $24 at www.aeronca.com/store.

Rudy: Get a stock 7AC. It is the ever best Champ. But be careful: forget all your 16,000 hrs and relearn from the begining the pleasures of non electrical 1946 aircrafts. Study "Flying the Aeronca" by Robert E. Livingston. If you cannot find it, contact me and I will send you a copy. Congr...
