    Piper PA28 Trim Wheel

    Terrific ! I know Piper design the wheel with a indicator groove for a maximum of 6 turns (360 degrees ea turn). So it makes sense that they would use 4 turns giving them a tolerance of one turn in each directions. Forever in your debt. Thank You So Very Much !

    Piper PA28 Trim Wheel

    I was taught this 40 years ago. As part of the FAA certification testing for each aircraft has to demonstrate a minimum (sometimes called maximum) trim glide. Every light aircraft I know will fly with power off and trim at maximum aft position. The airplane will not stall. I plan to adhere to...

    Piper PA28 Trim Wheel

    Thank you for the response. I am an old pilot that does not fly anymore due to medical. I am converting a 1971 Piper Cherokee fuselage into a flight simulator. I am converting the trim crank on the ceiling to the trim wheel between the seats. I never counted the number of trim wheel turns during...

    Piper PA28 Trim Wheel

    From the picture I see a max of 6 turns. The indicator shows more aft than forward. So the question is how many turns from neutral to forward and neutral to aft? Thanks to all in advance for their replies.

    PA28 simulator

    YES it is. Using real piper pedals. Still lots of design work to do. The key issue here is not just designing components but designs that are easy to make for the average person with minimal tool requirements. You can keep up with my project on my Facebook group page here AND you do not need a...

    PA28 simulator

    Thanks John for your comment. Yes I am aware of the power effects as I am a license pilot also. Received my PPL about 40 years ago in a Piper Warrior. Started out in hang gliders then ultralights. Its a shame that most simulator pilots do not understand power and pitch control and some proper...

    PA28 simulator

    I am now designing / working on the mechanical trim for the simulator. A question about trim in the real PA-28 aircraft. I have heard of a aerobatic pilot breaking the control stick and still successfully landing with the elevator trim. Therefore is full aft trim the same as holding full aft...

    In Moneta, Virginia near smith mountain lake. Yes I have been looking for a 1969 or newer PA28 fuselage. Piper aircraft prior to 1969 have the old style instrument panel layout. I got my PPL in a 1977 Piper Warrior about 30 years ago. The problem with finding a fuselage is most are striped and...

    PA28 simulator

    Finally getting back to designing the PA28 simulator after moving from NY to Virginia and other life events. I found the geometry a little complex when it comes to the yokes. I do not have an actual cockpit to measure from so have to depend on input from others for dimensions. My goal is to keep...
