Oh. Lol

Huh?

Interesting. So itll track course input from the 530-driven CDI? Any guess as to ballpark pricing and install cost?

Doesn’t look like it.

I am looking at a Debonair that does not have an autopilot other than the basic Beech wing leveler gizmo. While the dream would be a GFC500, I am wondering if there is a more cost effective option for now that would just be a nice single axis AP that could track a heading or a course from the...

Update- I did some more digging in the engine logs and the cam, pistons, and wrist pins were replaced, as well as all cylinders in 2001. I didn't know if cam replacement was part of an top overhaul or not. That was 700 hours ago.

thanks guys. Will see what she looks like.

:cool:

How many hours and years SMOH? That’s what makes me wonder too is that the crank and everything in the bottom of the engine is 27 years old.

Sacramento, California airplane.

Pouring over the logbooks of a 1975 200hp non-turbo arrow I’m looking at. 1650 TSOH (1991) and 700 since top end in 2000. It flew about 75 hours a year until 2009, then only about 10-25 depending on the year. It sat most of 2018 with only a couple hours. 75/75/77/77 compression. Question is...

What about an arrow? Nicely equipped with a new interior for about the same money. 1600 TSOH, 700 STOH, 600 SPOH. I used to fly an arrow and enjoyed the efficiency for the speed. EDIT- As much as I like the Cherokee 6 platform I don't think I am ready to own a plane that large yet.

I have a few hours in. T tail NA lance. Not a fan of her handling characteristics especially after hopping in the a36. But it was a far more usable plane than the a36.

That’s what I wondered. It also seems like turbo planes bring less money at times because of the upkeep?

He’s about 10k over Vref. I was thinking I could maybe pick it up for 75. Maybe that’s optimistic. It also has the speed mods (flap gap seals etc) which should be worth something. It’s on Trade A Plane.

Hi all- Been lurking for awhile but this is my first post- been flying for about 8 years and finally thinking about the plunge to ownership. A lot of 182 and Arrow time, I am looking for a Piper Dakota (or a 182 but the Dakota seems a little bit faster and cheaper to acquire). Flying a A36...
