thanks for all the tips and advice guys, i have finally found the problem. as it turns out the problem was with the muffler, it was 100% coincidence that it stopped with the master. it would have bet big money on the electrical system. the muffler had a hole in it and was directing all the heat into...

I understand exacally what your saying about the descision i made to fly the plane with evidence of smoke but i must say that i did not fly the airplane repeatedly, i did once while trying to diagnose the cause after repeated attempts were made to duplicate the situatiuon on the ground which proved ...

the last time i flew it took 30 minutes to smoke, and the only things on were the radio and intercom. It is definatly burnt wring smell and i turn off the master and it stops. the vacume system is workin gjust fine. nothing else is happening when the smoke appears, nothing flickers or does anything ...

the problem seems to only happen with the engine running, i went out last night and crowled under the dash withthe master on for 1 hour and then ran it for 15 minutes and no smoke to be seen. the smell is definately burnt wiring/insulation smell. I have access to a heat sensitive camera which may sh...

it is definatly smoke, it started out as a different smell and then turned into billowing plumes of smoke coming from the defrost vent. it was stopped almost immediatly by shutting the master switch off. All exhaust components are in good shape as far as i can see

the 60 amp breaker is just for reference to show how little meat there is to grab and pull. I actually just looked at it and the alternator is a 60 amp. the smoke appears to have came out of the defrost vent, it happened twice and i can't see or feel any hot or burnt wires anywhere, kinda thought it...

does anyone have a trick to pop breakers that are flush if not recessed in it's housing. some breakers stick out nicely with a lip to pull on but the ones in my 182 are flush and i can't pull them out. i tried numerous small objects and was only able to get (2) 5 amp breakers out. i am trying to fin...

funny man, funny!!!!!!

thanks Auntie, that plane listed as a 182 amphib is actually a 180, but thanks anyway. i also had looked at the wipaire site but my model isn't listed.

sounds like fun, don't count me out yet. maybe we can do that before we pick up the 182??

i have seen a few 172 on ski's but i don't know much else about them. hopefully some one wil have flown such a beast.

hey guys,

just wondering if anyone out there knows of what skis can be installed on a 182, having trouble finding out any info about them.

Thanks for the info

too funny, buddy had it coming. haha

a couple of good ideas there, i have heard that airlines will still moniter for 121.5 signals like in the past. I have also been looking a the SPOT, seems like a great idea. continuing with a detailed flight plan of your inteneded stops and possible alternate fishing holes is still a very good idea ...

ok this may seem like a dumb question but if a guy doens't need a 406 elt now and the old 121 elt's are no longer being monitered, what does a guy do now if he doesn't want to pay for a 406elt????

you're a fucking nob. Once again i can't believe you hold peoples lives in your hands. Your a cocky peice of shit and your going to kill someone, so @#$! you and have fun in sham town, hope your not the next to park a sewer tube in the dump.

Hey antiqueerman, i'd bet you got more hair your palms than your baby face. Ha Ha. Pat says hi

Holy shit @#$!, after looking at that i can't even imagine what that would do to a rag plane. Any one have bird strike stories or photos of impact with a fabric aircraft? I would sure like to see them.

can't wait to hear from sweet'n'juicy or stu

what's up, you guys been laying low or what?

Haz, if i wanted to see a naked gay man i'd go to the bar
