Yeah its pretty much the same bird just bigger engine and tip tanks

Hello, I'm still learning my new Piper Cherokee 235. One thing that I need some help with is the usable fuel. In the POH, Checklist and owners handbook they all state that there is only 1 pint of fuel unusable in each tank, about half a gallon total. Placarded on each tank says 3 gallons...

You know, my 235 good to burn 80/87 ethanol free and I know I can get it at buckys. but honestly im a bit scared to.

Hey how much was yours, I cant find the prices on their website but I assume around 1000$? Even then Compared to the prices here @ 5 bucks if I could get the fuel for 3.80 at another airport next county over that would be 132$ in savings which is definitely worth it, I would cover the cost of...

*GARBLED*

Maybe I will get one. I can use my tractor to take it out when I dont need it and I will be legal.

The 235 has tip tanks so I’m sitting at 84 gallons

Lucky

In my OP I said I wanted to drive to a smaller airport in the next county and buy the fuel at the pump there if I couldn’t ge tit from bulk supplier, I’d support a small airport of the large Jet FBOs at my field. Two years about which would be worth it.

Also how flemsy are they? Would the break if I sat on them?

Lol thanks, I will defiantly look into this. Flying on long cross countries are they pretty comfy compared to headsets? Also how is the noise canceling? The thing is that there is not alot of leg room for back seat passengers. So even though I dont usually ever have any Pax i want to fly like...

https://www.texasairsalvage.com/main_view.php?editid1=204946 Ok found this adjustable seat for a 72 piper 140. Think this one would just slide in? It’s an easy flight up to this salvage yard and maybe I can trade the old seat in.

Really? Wow maybe I can find one then. Yeah the previous owner

So in my recently purchased 235 (my first airplane too) there is literally no head room. In the warrior I trained in I had adjustable seats and I always had it set as low as possible. Now I’m stuck with a fixed chair. It’s manageable right now, whenever I take off or land I have to sit up and...

It’s 119 gallons apparently

Ok after doing 5 seconds of research I figured out im not a clever as I thought. I need a CDL with hazmat to transport that much fuel :( Its still might be worth it in the long run but I'll do some more research.

I have a pretty decent slice of land I can keep the trailer at covered and the FBO is a corporate jet center who probably dont care too much about me. I also dont see the price of Avgas going to 2.45 anytime soon.

Ok guys I got an idea. At my airport the fuel costs are astronomical 5$+ So Im thinking about buying maybe a 500 - 1000 gallon fuel trailer on craigslist and buying fuel in bulk somewhere cheaper. I'm trying to figure out a way to buy directly from shell or chevron but if that does not work I...

Flew my bird for the first time yesterday with my instructor! It was awesome! Way more powerful than the Cherokee 140 and warrior I flew. This thing pushed my into my seat and we leaped off the ground it seemed almost immediately. We rocketed skyward and we were at traffic pattern altitude in...
