    Bugs and Tie Downs

    Ok so I'm relatively new to plane ownership (Have owned my Cherokee for just over 1.5 years) and it is normally it is hangared. I'm now on a trip where I will be for the next month and a 1/2 and the airport I'm temporarily calling my home only has grass tie downs and I'm forced to leave the...

    Piper Cherokee fuel smell in cabin

    Yeah on my 64' 235 I had the same thing, turned out to be the fitting on the primer line where it connects to the priming handle/knob.

    Old Parts (What to do with them)

    Based on the logs 450 hours. Interesting idea about fixing and keeping as a spare, will ask around to see if anyone does this around my area.

    Old Parts (What to do with them)

    The only issue is the leaking exhaust valve, piston and bore is fine, a tiny bit of scuffing but no cracks or corrosion. The original cylinder is a factory Lycoming nickle cylinder. Would have had it overhauled, but they wanted $795 for an OH and $1,100 for a new Nickle cylinder, so figured...

    Old Parts (What to do with them)

    Yeah I saw that thread, based on $100 switch value these should be worth at least $4000 :-) Honestly don't need to make anything off of these it just seems a waste chucking all that metal into a land fill.

    Old Parts (What to do with them)

    Unfortunately I just had to have a Cylinder and starter replaced on my 64 Cherokee 235, and now I have a Cylinder for an 0540 (Leaking exhaust valve) and a Bendix starter (Still working but on it's way out) sitting in my hangar. Now I could just toss these, but 1 there is a lot of metal there...

    G5 to get TAS and other goodies like wind data

    @Arrow76R good question, I'll have a look at my manuals but that is what they displayed when I picked it up. I think it maybe in the configuration mode setup of the G5, but could also be a feature of the latest software.

    Flying into BJC

    Guys FYI just spoke to Signature at BJC, its a $39 Handling fee, waived with 7 gallons of fuel, (so far OK) and a non-waveable $30 infrastructure fee. So that ends the debate Erie it is!

    Flying into BJC

    Flying into BJC

    All, Thanks for the advice $5 and some fuel @$4.53 seems surprisingly reasonable, I'm just not used to hearing Signature and reasonable in the same sentence. Thanks for the input. Out of curiosity @midlifeflyer why Eire before Boulder? (I picked Eire as an alternate due to driving distance...
