And like most tasks on an airplane, it's also wise to get some training for servicing a strut. Check out the video training course we've created to help airplane owners understand how t...

Does your airplane's fuel primer nozzle work smoothly and easily? If not, it's likely a simple fix. There are two little o-rings P/N MS29513-012 on these primers. Installing new o-rings and lubing them with a small amount of Krytox grease makes it work marvelously! Also, if the nozzle is loose in the panel like this one, the nut may need to be tightened. If the front nut does not tighten it up,...

Why does the landing gear stop during retraction? Sometimes, it's due to a failing pressure switch.

Watch Dean pop the top off an airplane starter contactor. If you've ever wondered how these things operate, it will become clear in this video. It's like an electrical "gate." A small amount of power applied to the small terminal operates an electromagnet, which then opens the "gate" and allows a large amount of power to pass through the contactor and out to the starter.

Ever wonder what's inside your airplane's spark plugs? Take a look at the pieces inside the "old" style, and notice how to easily tell the difference between old style plugs and new style plugs. The new ones are far superior!

Many airplanes have a vacuum system to run the gyro instruments. There are two filters in the system - the inlet filter and the regulator filter. If not changed at appropriate intervals, these filters can crumble apart in pieces and get sucked into the vacuum pump, possibly leading to pump failure. Take a look at what a new vacuum regulator filter looks like, compared to the remains of one that...

Many small airplanes have a fuel primer nozzle for starting a carbureted engine. Sometimes, the primer nozzle becomes stiff to operate, but this issue is easily fixed by installing two new o-rings and applying the proper grease. After that, it works like new!
