Re: Stall warning failure

Does anyone have another buzzer lying around collecting dust? Mine hasn't worked since I've owned it (13 years now....)

Thanks!

Re: Carpet or Vinyl for a floor covering

Re: IFR Guidance Requested

Great thread! After many years of ownership, I, too, am starting my IFR journey in 39A. It's equipped much the same as yours with the exception of no marker beacons. It does have dual comms, one of which is a non-IFR GPS. I use that and Stratus II with Fore Flight for SA, along with the VOR for prac...

Re: New 170B owner

ABW is Alaskan Bushwheels, a manufacturer of many things that can add fun to airplanes. Look them up online and do a search on their website for "tailwheel"....they have a lot of options.
