Cool! Yesterday was a bit gusty! Very nice today. Good video, pretty much flew over our house on the way up. Do like your Commander! One of the best lookin planes ever made. You do OK for an old retired guy! ;)

I can agree with that!!

How long does it take Robinhoods trades to make it through their clearinghouse? I could easily be mis-informed, but don't know of a brokerage that instantly credits your account when you sell a stock.

The corrosion issue has been around for a while, goes back to the Piper Service Bulletin 1006. I've never done SB 1006, so...goes into the shop on Monday to complete the AD and change out the fuel and vent lines.

It is a bit confusing. The hershey bar Cherokees were originally on the list (including my PA28-140) for inspecting the bolt hole cracking issue. In the final rule, they were excluded. Not really sure why, there was a somewhat vague reference to some wing loading calculations done by Piper...

Just to be clear, the AD referenced in the link, is for wing spar corrosion, NOT the bolt hole cracking that requires the eddy current inspection. Believe the PA28-161 (as are most if not all, of the taper wing Cherokees) IS included in the AD for checking the bolt hole cracking.

Good for you! Your investing ability far exceeds mine. The whole Gamestop thing is of great amusement. A bunch of Reddit folks figure out a way to use the rules (written primarily by the big banks and brokerage houses) to make some money and now some of the big guys have egg on their face -...

Agree! Now that I'm retired, interest rates in the 5-7% range would be wonderful!

OUCH!! Those pictures are sad to view!! Not sure I could offer any useful advice. A second opinion couldn't hurt, BUT, from what Im seeing, this could be ugly. Not sure I'd be ready to bring in the legal beagles - yet. I cannot fathom how the previous mechanics missed all this during...

Seems to me a hole saw would give the best result. If one time use, maybe don't need an expensive one. https://www.mcmaster.com/Hole-Saws/for-use-on~aluminum/for-use-with~drill/tooth-material~carbide/

Done! It’s yours!

Don't need two! Circa late 1980's. Published by the old Cherokee Pilot's Association when Terry Lee Rogers was around. A compilation of various questions and answers on the Cherokee line. While a lot of the information is dated, there still is a lot of good information on how things are set...

I read it the same way. While I am very happy my '67 PA28-140 is not on the list, it isn't clear to me why the Hershey bar wings were removed from the affected list of aircraft. The only reference I could find was a bit vague and referred to the FAA adopting a more focused risk criteria using...

Likewise! Was nice to put some faces to names. Was just a beautiful day to fly, just get it trimmed up and the plane just droned it's own way home!!

That’s doable! Timing is open.

Add in "A-Treat Spicy Ginger Ale" and we are there!!

I'm not too far away (Quakertown PA). Is the fly-in Saturday, Sunday or both days? Welcome to the board!!

Excellent! Minor quibble, thought you had 24 separate fuel tanks?!

We have relatives just north of Durham. KTDF (Raleigh Regional, Person County) worked fine. Nice runway and facility, friendly people. Did have a rental car waiting for us and an easy drive to the north suburbs.

Also have a KX-175B and a KN 73 (glide slope receiver) as removed from my Cherokee. For the KX-175B, serial #14696, P/N 069-1019-00. The ON/OFF/TEST switch is broken and is wired permanently on. Up until removal, the COMM and NAV radios worked fine. The radio has been repaired twice during...
