Hello folks Looks like I'll have to find a new place to park our floatplane this spring and will have to build a floating dock. Any suggestions for brand? Model? Anchoring device to the bottom (Clay and organic matter)? Any suppliers to recommend in Alberta somewhere? Recommended size for e Cessna 1...

My ameri-king cannot be recertified which is why I am switching to ack

Looks like I will need to install a new 406 ELT in our Cessna 180. Thinking of getting the ACK E-04 the ameri-king unti that can't no longer be recertified..

Is this a decent unit for the price?

How long is the battery coming with it good for? 5 years?

Cheers

Hello folks

Getting ready for the next annual. Need to replace the parts mentioned on the subject line. I think the PN is NAS 382-2. Where can I get this? I tried Aircraft spruce but could not find it...

Would anyone know?

Thanks

Hello again

We parked our float plane in a shallow bay with lots of emerging/floating aquatic vegetation. What is the best way to get rid of a summer worth of thin layerof greenish stuff sticking to the floats even after removal from the lake?

Cheers

Hello there I broke the left window latch on our Cessna 180 on Sunday when I pulled it out of the water for the winter. Bummer! Thinking perhaps that this might be a good time to replace that window with a bubble window. Cost seems not too too bad but was wondering about installation? How hard is it...

Hello folks

Would you know where I can order one of those push-pull master switch for a Cessna 180?

Could it be also replaced by a split switch which seems to be easier to find?

Thanks

Sorry!

I inquired about getting a used replacement from Skywagon City Inc. in case I night need to get mine overhauled or replaced. The question that came back to me was ...What model of prop governor you need?...hence my question...

Not much of a mechanic as you can see...

Would there be a specific model number for a Cessna 180 H powered by a O-470R? I can only find the serial number for that prop governor in the engine logbook...

Hello again

How big and expensive a job is it to overhaul the Prop governor on Cessna 180 (O-470)?

Cheers

Awesome folks.

I'll ask him then....I was under the impression that only an AME can safety wire the filter.

Matter solved!

Cheers

Thanks folks All good points and comments. I asked because I know how to change the oil (quick drain) but I do need to find an AME and bring him to the lake where I parked the plane to replace and secure the oil filter and amazingly enough, it is not always that simple up here. I only fly the plane ...

Hello again

We change the oil every 25 hours or so in the summer on our C 180 on floats but do we also need to replace the oil filter each time? Can it go for 50 hours instead?

Cheers

Thanks folks

At cruise, do you guys close the cowl flap at all between 300 and 350? When do you start closing it under normal cruising condition? Is 350 what you try to keep the temp at with the o-470 continental?

Hey 180 drivers!

What do you try to keep your cht at? Mine appears to hover around
350 on floats....

Is this ok?

Cheers

I certainly agree with you Supercharger... Had to replace the AH twice in the last 3 years...the vacuum pump once...and expect the DG to go soon....would be great to get rid of that entire loop! Is the Dynon D10A approved for the 180/185? I see in the links provided above that it is only certified f...

Hello again

Where would I find a complete and detailed parts and service manual for a 1965 Cessna 180?

Thanks

Hello there again

I need to get 1/2 dozen of those screws that keeps the front panel cover screwed on the firewall in our Cessna 180. In the middle of the annual and now is a good time to put new ones in there...Please look at the photos attached....Where can I get new one from?

Thanks

Hello there Would you recommend this? https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/inpages/dynond2_11-12158.php#review_tab I don't fly IFR at all, basically only float and ski flying privately but it looks like I need to replace again the artificial horizon in our Cessna 180 (in the middle of the annual ri...

Hello there Any advantage to use one of those Carb Ice detection system instead of a more simple carb temperature gauge? I do have the latter on our Cessna 180 but wondering about the detection unit usefulness? Having that red light pop on when there is thin ice and frost forming up is kind of nice....
