I picked up a nice VFR Cherokee 140 with a 180 engine that is really a great performer... for 23k... they are out there... keep looking. the Cherokee 180 will carry more load than a 172, and I just like the low wing for a lot of reasons..

Draminamene... 1 hr before flight and another one during taxi. My wife slept the whole flight,.... it was great!...

It's actually a Flux Capacitor... it eliminates the effects of gravity when activated, thus creating unlimited lift, and range... the only limit is the time the battery has enough power... not allowed in aircraft with student pilots...

So when you find that magic spot for the OAT probe, post it up... I want to add an OAT gage and probe as I can not see the temp gage in the windshield... but have no idea where to mount the probe.

I am running Garmin Pilot on both my Samsung Galaxy s5 phone, and a tablet.. over the weekend, my phone operating system upgraded to 6.0.1 ( Marshmallow ) and now it has a storage problem. I used to have all Garmin storage assigned to the SD card, as I need all the system memory that I can...

Looks like a great 180, and yes the back seat leg room is a little tight, but it is workable... the extra power of the 180 really helps, my '67 140 with the same engine is really a delight to fly, just went from So Cal to Southern Utah last weekend, 600 miles and 5 hours total, so much better...

35K sounds a little high.. but maybe 3k to 4k high... so the question to me would be is it worth spending that much to have the equipment it has... I wanted a 180, but was only looking at 140's due to budget. then found a 140 with a 540 hr O-360 and a poor panel for 23k after pre-buy...

So last year I started back into flying, I was going LSA as I was not sure I could get my class 3 back.. after checking into it, Yes, I could. I'm on Lisprel for BP, running 130 to 135 / 85 until I walk into a DR office... Lisprel was listed as being approved by the AME, so its good that I...
