Looking at all the problems you've posted with your new Nanchang should show the rest of the prospective Nanchang buyers why you don't buy a $65k Nanchang. Every dollar you "save" will cost ...

Planes of very similar spec in our area have sold between $130,000 and $160,000.

Of course you're going to get lookie-loo's saying it should be $80,000 because someone unloaded an M14 Nanchang for ...

I'm selling my Nanchang and am interested in doing owner financing for a worthy buyer that I'm working with (and a person I know well). Has anyone used an escrow company to set this up and, if so, do ...

Check the rubber sump seal. When that leaks, oil is sprayed in a spiral pattern all over the nose case and will make it appear the case is leaking. That might be your problem as it's a pretty common t ...

Hi Ernie,

First of all the mixture stop should have been removed a long time ago. US fuel and long taxi times (if you're a formation pilot) with a stock Housai setup guarantee carboned-up and gunk ...

Just in time for the holidays!

Not surprising. From stripping and painting many parts of my plane, it was clear that the PLAAF often used high-visibility markings. My plane (for instance) at one time had bright red gear doors and t ...

I had mushy feeling brakes. The cable inspected fine but was at the end of its adjustment. As a rule, I always brief the GIB about using the brakes and have them hold the plane with the brakes when I' ...

How did you arrive at the engine and airframe times? Do you have the original Chinese Logs? What overhaul # is the engine on 1st 2nd or 3rd?

The engine was purchased by Bob Watts (the previous o ...

Mine's for sale. This is no cast-off scruffy "cheap" plane, it's a well-maintained, frequently flown and excellent condition CJ.

I have to say that I haven't had much of that. I've displayed at the MCAS Miramar air show, the Chino Planes of Fame Airshow and a number of others. Often sharing the ramp with far more interesting an ...

Total height is 5-inches, the base to the bottom of the sight is 3-inches.

Hi guys,

I've designed and am producing a limited number of formation "gunsights". These are designed to measure extended trail distances accurately for improving formation flying and the ...

If you want to get an oil cooler serviced (cleaned), this place does great work and also does vintage stuff like Mustangs etc. I used to use them every time a racing engine blew up on the race cars.
