Thanks to everyone for all the info. I've learned a lot about induced galvanic corrosion with CF touching aluminum since starting this thread. Not a good day when your road bike falls apart, but probably your last day when this happens in an airplane.

I might be in for this if the cost is right. I just had my first annual since owning the plane. There are about 3,300 on the frame, 4,400 factored hours, but I also need an eddy current on my prop every 150 hours so I do need to establish a rapport with a shop.

The cosmetic effect isn't important if it's only for an aesthetic. The desire to start with some non-structural pieces in the interior was to learn and perfect working with CF for future projects where size, complexity, and even structural necessity, come into play.

Greetings. I was wondering if this is something I can do myself (so long as I use an approved flame-retardant resin), if a shop needs to do it (not even sure where to find one), or if this simply isn't possible for a 40 year old plane. CF isn't cheap compared to plastic, but when talking about...

Thank you all for your help. It's been its own level of difficultly just learning about the options for new avionics and I've barely scratched the surface. I've decided to go with the Garmin GTN 750. Since I want ADS-B In/Out the shop recommended I also get the GTX 345 Transponder. I'm not...

Wow! Thanks for all the detailed replies. I understand this will not be cheap, nor will I recoup the cost I'll put into it, but I love my Cherokee and would like to make it safer, more fun to fly, and allow me to do my IFR training in it (which currently isn't possible). I think I will stick...

First let's imagine that money is no object (it is, but let's take that out of the equation for a moment, if we can). I have an old Cherokee 6/300 with hardly anything new from when it was first built. There is an old ADS-B out, but that's about it, I think. Some of the things I'd like to do...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't add the Telex, it came with the plane. There is no "jack," as I understand it, for the co-pilot, just a yoke that can take a mic switch (assuming I can find one that is for that yoke). I think I still would need to use the setup I mocked up so that both pilots can...

I don't think it has one. There's a TKM MX11 for comms, but I don't see any option to listen to two frequencies at once via a button on the panel.

Here's a mockup of what I hope will work for the time being…

The yoke on the left has the coiled cable coming out of the bottom of the left side of the yoke and there's a bypass so that it's plugged into the port under the main/light panel on the left side of the cockpit with the Telex PC2 mic cable plugged into the cable bypass from the yoke cable. It's...

If I bought now of those mic switches that Velcro to the yoke and plug it into the PPT on the Telex PC2 (below), I'm hoping that it will resolve all my communication issues until I can upgrade and modernize the cockpit.

My apologies if this has already been answered, but I'm new to this forum and the aviation world, so I may not be searching effectively at this point. I have acquired a 1979 Cherokee Six 300, but only the left yoke has a mic switch. The right yoke has a cavity in the left side with a metal...
