      <description><![CDATA[I just purchased a 206 fork and a 6&quot; tire for the front of my 61 172 B. I want to put a 6 or 7&quot; tire on front and 8:00 mains. I see right now there are 4 listed for sale on the internet with the same setup but they are all in Alaska. I have heard that these parts are optional for the newer 172's but I will need a field approval to use them on my plane. 

My mechanic asked the FAA inspector here and he said he wouldn't approve the swap. My question is: do I need to fly to Alaska to find a inspector to give me a field approval? (seems Like they are much more open minded up there)  Anyone had any experiance with this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

      <description><![CDATA[I have the opportunity to acquire a C175C 1962, but the prop needs replaced.  It is a Mccauley 2a31c21 w/84s blades.  It seems that hen's teeth would be an easier find, but its a prop or the complete STC changing out the go-300e for an o-360.
Does anybody have a line on such a prop?

      <description><![CDATA[Well, I'll answer my own question here. I decided on Hangar Bay as they were several weeks quicker and cheaper than Airtex to boot. I'm very glad I did. The quality is excellent and the service, even better. Since I finished the install, guys from my airfield are walking to my hangar to see how nice it is. They all are obviously surprised at the quality. I can't say enough good about the product or the owner, Jerry. I'm not far from his shop so we took a weekend and drove out to Iowa to pick up my interior. The owner, Jerry, met me and took time to show me how to install the cushions on my front chairs. I have no doubt that if I ever had a problem, he would make sure it was taken care of. If anyone would like pictures of my completed project, I'd be glad to e-mail them to you and let the pictures do the talking. Or contact Jerry at www.hangarbay.org]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I had experience with AOA indicating systems flying in the Navy. If you go with the mechanical system, get the dash mount but I would recommend the electronic version with the vertical LED display. Place either one next to the Pilot's side pillar so it's out of the way in your field of view when turning final or manuevering. We had both a panel mounted anlalog and the vertical LEDs on the left side above the glare shield and we only used the latter except for instrument flying.  I doubt we could have landed supersonic iron on carrier decks without them and I'm assuming you're looking to improve your short field precision approaches-basically the same thing but without the swept wing.

      <title>Skylight STC</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Is there an approved STC for installing skylights on a 172 or 177? I saw photos of a Cutlass on Trade-a-Plane that looked pretty cool and it must be a terrific improvement to visibility in steep turns and climbs. Don't know if that was a factory option or something you can add on and I couldn't find anything doing a search at this site.

I don't know didly about Cessnas so if this is something well known, please forgive.

      <description><![CDATA[While the FrankenHawk is getting its STOL Kit and new windshield installed, I'm thinking of putting an Alpha Systems AOA-5070K (http://alphasystemsaoa.com/mech.html) Angle of Attack Guage on the new glare shield. 

Anyone have experience with these things?
