Does anyone have free hangars willing to rent it out for a few days to complete some maintenance?

Update - so it was infact the starter bendix gear not disengaging - I was quick to post a solution with screws... smh So now I’m looking at replacing the starter and labor for associated work. Not bad considering that’s what I originally anticipated. Does anyone know a hangar in f45? That I...

You guys won’t believe it - I face palmed myself when I found out. It’s one of the screws right next to the flywheel - touching the flywheel.

Ha! Yes I do - but I like getting everyones feedback before some Schmuck tells me I need to overhaul the engine. As a first time plane owner this forum has been awesome. For the most part I get useful advice!

I’ve attached a short video of the engine - let me know what you guys think? Can only hear it on low RPM and other structures around you (to reflect sound back)

This may not be of any major concern- but under low RPM - hearing a slight metal shimmy sound (hard to describe.. maybe if you rub 2 metal cymbals and rub them together sound?) does that seem normal? Or has anyone else experienced this? Lycoming engine. (Engine oil lvl is good, no metal found...

Have a attitude indicator that wobbles on startup - takes about 15 - 20 mins to level out. Vacuum looks great - any other solutions but overhauling the instrument. If I have to overhaul it - know any place that’s NOT going to cost 1000+ In South Florida?

Thanks! Apart from the not so perfect landing it was a great flight! I know the moment I post something on social media - there are people that can critique every aspect, people who compliment and people who wouldn't care. Don't fear the negative comments because you will have many - just need...

In Florida with the lousy weather - hinges being bent or control rods moved out of place to rub adjacent metal surface. This could've happened due to strong winds flapping the control surfaces. Does anyone have any experience with insurance covering damages caused due to wind flapping the...

Does anyone know someplace to get interiors upgraded for a piper warrior? - Airtexinterior was a decent option but with labor it would come close to 10-11K. Looking for headliners and plastic for now -eventually would need leather upholstery for the wall panels, seats and carpets. Any ideas for...

Recently purchased an aircraft - and I fly it regularly. I wanted to know why flightradar24 would show previous owners flight path and not mine. I made sure Uavionix (Skybeacon TSO) is powered and functional during take off. I also ran a FAA ADSB progress report to make sure no errors were...

Corrosion is my issue - I’ve been told it’s fine but for peace of mind I’d like to get it done and repaired if necessary.

Pa28-161 1982 piper warrior, west Palm Beach, FL and no not spam...

Hey guys -know anyone that can do a quick wingspar inspection and not break the bank? Also someone that can potentially remove wings - and install them back Inbox me!

Hey - I’ll definitely reach out to you if you’re available. Send me your contact and I’ll get it to your location. Zackjacob1985@gmail.com

Tell me about it... I broke the cardinal rule - fell in love with the first plane.

1983 piper with 8500hrs TT - that’s what I’m hoping. In Florida WPB - if you guys know an experienced A&P mechanic, that would be awesome!

Have not asked a qualified mechanic yet - this was self diagnosed 100% - will know more tomorrow. Right now I'm looking to wrap my mind around the costs associated with getting this fixed. I'm preparing my self for worst case scenario...

How much would it be for a complete repaint and corrosion treatment?

Nope - prebuy covered active AD's - bolts weren't addressed till I looked at it personally. This is my first aircraft and this has only been a very expensive learning experience.
