I actually have my airplane over it Southbridge now 3B0. What time are you guys arriving at Barnes? I think I'll make the 12-minute journey over to join you.

Hey everybody, I assumed this would have been discusses in a previous thread however the search function didn't reveal anything so here goes.... I own a Cherokee 140 with a 160HP O-320-D2A. My airplane has an auto fuel STC however ethanol free gas is not available up here in Massachusetts...

I filed my flight plan tonight via ForeFlight. Nothing major just a 100nm X/C from Westfield(KBAF) Massachusetts down to Teterboro(KTEB) New Jersey. If I select activate after I am leveled off in cruise, do I still need to call flight service and open my flight plan or is this integrated? The...

Replaced them with 8 new gaskets and torqued to 25 foot pounds per the Cherokee service manual.

So I swaped all of the plugs from one mag to the other today. Top left went to top right and bottom left went to bottom right. When I went to do the run up, the left was nice and smooth and I expected the right to be terrible. Oddly enough, the engine ran smooth on L,R, and Both. Rpm drop was...

I honestly don't plan on it and if I did it wouldn't be without the appropriate ferry permit.

It is a Bendix mag and the mechanic on the phone Had the same conclusion. Apparently he overhauls them right at the shop.

First off I only inquired about removal of the magneto. One does not need to be in the A&P to remove anything. At no point did I ever suggest I would reinstall it :-) I have already called the A&P and he was the one who suggested that I fly down on one mag and he would diagnose and rebuild...

I wish. This is an old 1964 Cherokee cruiser. 50 RPM drop on the right and 200 to 400 RPM dropwhile running rough on the left.

Indeed I did more than once. I even torch cleaned it the ones that looked somewhat fouled when I pulled the plugs.

My Cherokee has a Lycoming 0–320-D2A 160 horse motor. During the initial mag check, both runs a tad bit sloppy, the right mag runs nice and smooth and the left Mag shows A 200-400 RPM loss, the engine runs really rough, and there is a lot of vibration and shaking. I pulled all the plugs...

I am based at KCEF(Westover) in Chicopee MA. I go into Windham a couple of time a week. Usually frequent the Aero Diner or New England Pizza. I live less than 2 tenth's of a mile from my hangar and I fly pretty much every day even if its just a half dozen around the pattern. I will shoot you a...

Thank you so much for the insights. I'm going to take a hard look at the airplane this week and put together a schematic for when I'm planning to do. I will post it here when I'm done for any suggestions.

I just remember 30 deg 1/2 45 deg 3/4 60 deg is all. Its simple enough to pick a runway and know the xwind component before the atis broadcast is complete. Shot 10 landings today in the 18g22 winds 60deg off the nose. The big epiphany came for me when I stopped staring at the wind sock and just...

I have an 1964 Cherokee 140 that is still having it's share of radio issues. I have since bought an IC-A14 handheld hooked to an external antenna and it is working incredibly well. I'm wondering if there is any way I can get this radio to go through the David Clark 4 place intercom in my...

Reminds me of Saturday. Departed KCEF wind was 310@17G23 and winds at 3k were out of 330@40kt. I was making a 35nm hop down to KIJD(Windham CT) and I have never had such a terrible ride. It was the bumpiest day I have ever encountered since I got my ticket. Flight ended successfully with 12g18...

Here's the funny part. I hit up that CFI a week or so later to come ride along in the same conditions and he told me to save my money and have fun. I'm really thinking it's unfortunately all in my head.

Hey Everybody, As we have moved into fall up in New England, it seems like every day is 10G20 15G25 etc. I went and got a couple hours of crosswind beef up with a CFI gusting in the mid 20's and it was a pretty uneventful flight. Three or four times last week I found myself coming home to 20...

Well that solves it then. Unfortunately that did not come with the plane. Going to order it now though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

Is there an aftermarket book for my serial number that has more information? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk
