This right here. First thing I thought was engine TBO is over Lycoming recommendation and therefore should be either overhauled or replaced. The asking price doesn't leave much room to account for this. Just my opinion.

When I lived in Florida, Albert Whitted Field and Venice were my go-to places. Then I moved to Poughkeepsie, NY area and flew out of KPOU. Loved to fly to Sky Acres for lunch. Then sold my plane and not flying now. :(

Yeah, me too. But, that's life. I have other hobbies.

I've sold my plane and am no longer flying. These are some items I no longer need and am selling. Please feel free to contact me with questions. Prices do not include shipping. I will combine items for reduced shipping. For pictures, please go to my Craigslist ad at...

Under contract... Thanks for all the compliments. She is a great plane. I'm sorry to have to sell her.

SOLD!!! FOR SALE: 1980 Piper Dakota. Asking $105,000. I don't have time to fly, so selling it. Life just gets in the way. Hangared at KPOU. Very clean, well maintained Dakota. Always hangared. Engine • AFTT – 2571.9 (subject to change as plane is flown) • SMOH – 979.8 (subject to change as...

Plane is no longer available for co-ownership. Decided to sell instead. Please look for sale thread.

I'm forming a co-ownership on my 1980 Piper Dakota. I own the plane outright and it's hangared at KPOU. I am looking to have a total of 3-4 people (including myself). If you are in the Poughkeepsie, NY area and are looking to get into a co-ownership, shoot me a PM with your qualifications. Must...

Update. The shop in question offered an acceptable resolution. To all who commented, this was supposed to be an extensive inspection. I'm in New York and the plane was in Ohio. I could not be there for the inspection, but spent many hours on the phone talking to the manager of the shop before...

I had a pre-buy inspection done on my plane. The shop missed some items that turned out to be very expensive to repair. The exhaust shroud was in very bad condition and totally needs replacing, and the alternator belt is badly cracked, almost all the way through. These were very visible from the...

Greg - What did you come away with on the shroud? I'm having to redo my shroud on my 1980 Dakota. Same thing. The separators, carb heat shroud, half-rounds, etc. Probably the whole assembly, not sure. Waiting on the pics and writeup from my mechanic.

Are you willing to part it out now? How much for the kneeboard and flight bag, shipped to New York 12524?

Yeah, that's what I'm gathering from talking to other pilots. The Archer was never an issue, as that barely took any effort. The Dakota needs the use of the rudder trim, from what I was advised. I'll be testing that over the weekend. Thanks!

I used to own an Archer II, and just bought a Dakota this weekend. The first two things I notice in the Dakota that were not prevalent in the Archer is, a bar that goes across by the top of the toe brakes and the huge amount of right rudder required during takeoff and climb. I haven't looked...

Got it, thanks!

Pre-buy scheduled with Roger Tucker. Thanks for your recommendation and help with the Dakota steingar! Just waiting on the pictures. ;)

In the process of buying a plane now that has a GNS530 in it. Going to be taking over the subscription on that for what's left on the updates. So, what you are saying, I don't need the add-on database?

I'm looking at getting Garmin Pilot for my iPad. Looking at the subscriptions, I figure I'll get the U.S. Premium so I can get the geo-referenced airport taxi charts. At the bottom of the Garmin page, where you select which subscription you want, there is an add-on section where you can add...

I'm in the process of buying a Piper Dakota and need to get a pre-buy inspection. Can anyone recommend a good API for this? The plane is at KOSU - Columbus. Thanks!

He originally had it priced at $150,000. I emailed him and asked why so high. His response was, "I put a lot of $$$ into this plane and I want to get that money out of it." I told him good luck. He's going to sit on it. Now, he's dropped the price by $5100. He's still going to sit on it at that...
