Yep. I thought about waiting, but with interest rates going up and wanting to fly more, I took the leap. Honestly, I've seen people asking $40K for a basic VFR 150! The market will straighten out. High interest rates will keep people out of the market.

There are 4 types of biases that are basically hardwired into humans: Similarity, Experience, Expedience, Distance, and Safety. We can forget about all but Expedience and Safety for this one. Expedience is the bias to do something NOW rather than wait and get more information. Safety comes in...

It’s only a 430 but it will get me there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like “2ft disease” in boats. Where every new boat is 2ft longer than the last. [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine has a cruise prop on and I get 133mph burning 8.8gph. I plan to fly her to Atlanta to see my grandson and Wilmington NC to see my parents. Once I add the hatrack bulkhead I’ll have a really sweet traveler. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

8.8 when leaned. I honestly haven’t been able to accurately check. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks! I hadn’t considered it like that. Yep. I’m proud of her and look forward to many adventures. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve been doing that but I don’t like the location. I’m also going to do the first video for my Aviatist YouTube channel on her. Need to borrow a hangar for the shoot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s a 430. It will get me through IFR but it’s going to get replaced at some point soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definite put me on your PM list if you guys are meeting somewhere nearby. Was thinking about going to Williamsburg tomorrow, never landed there and it looks pretty cool. My youngest is 11 and I have an 18 and a 32yr old. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, Chris. I want to either do the hatrack, the baggage door, or the 3rd window (which would give me more baggage room though not externally accessible). Baggage door would be my preference, but I think that would take a field approval. I'm just learning the ins and outs of it all. I'm sure...

I get that. I needed a time builder and something to get my IFR that was a good starter plane. With the 160 conversion, she has 807lbs useful load (not taking into account MFA - "my fat ass") and can get me and my daughters around until I'm ready to move up.

I know! It's nice to know that I don't have to call and reserve and worry about when I'm coming back. Sure I'm paying for it every month and the maintenance is on me, but the freedom is worth every penny

I didn't have a wide angle lens. It was the best I could do!

I picked up a Piper Cherokee 140 with the 160 conversion. IFR panel with 2 G5's, S-Tec 30 autopilot, and a GNS430. Has a second radio. Brought her home 2 weeks ago and have already put 15hrs on her. I was wanting to hold out for prices to drop, but with interest rates heading up, I balanced out...

I think I’m just going to pony up for a pair of Sierras. They are comfortable for long trips. She will enjoy flying more and we will take more trips if she enjoys it. Thanks for all the advice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Having just put money down on a Cherokee, I told my daughter I would get her an ANR headset. I have a RuggedAir cheap one (passive), but after an hour my head is buzzing with them and she is uncomfortable too. I'm looking for something that doesn't break the bank since they won't be used all the...

Thanks for all the help. Unfortunately (for me) the plane got snapped up before I could get there. However, I found another one in Pa (this one has the 160hp conversion) and jumped in the car and checked it out Friday. Made a deal on it Saturday. It's currently getting Pre-Buy inspection done...

Looking for an A&P in the Fayetteville, AR area to do a pre-buy inspection on a Piper Cherokee. Message me here and we can chat.

Got a pair of Sierras from Amazon. The boom was not tight enough. Sierras don’t have the nut to tighten. I used them through my checkride and tailwheel and finally submitted the ticket. Sent them in and they returned tonight. Boom is snug like it’s supposed to be and they include two of the...
