    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    By STC I mean the document that talks about the STC with the fancy writing on it. Not the alteration 337 that gets filled out by the IA and sent off to the FAA.

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    I have the records but there was no log entry for this install...Least not that I could find. I have the STC but not the 337 paperwork for it. I ordered all the 337s from the FAA, sounds like its gonna be a bit before I get that.

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    After combing thru the mountain of files that came with my plane I found the strobe unit that was installed. Curious, the STC is for Cessna and I own a Piper…No matter. lol This bulb seems expensive though, I found a few others that are close and might work just as well. anyone know if there...

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    I appreciate it, mine is different though. When I get back to the plane I will see what I can do to take a picture of it and pull it out and check on the mfg. Thanks!

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    Funny you should say that, cause I cannot find it in the service manual either. lol Perhaps an addon?

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    Good evening, I noticed my "new to me" 1964 Cherokee 140's belly strobe does not work. I took off the lens and noticed the flash tube's wires were broken and it was just sitting in the lens itself. I am having a heck of time figuring out a good replacement for this flash tube. I have found a...

    I would like to, just gotta find one locally. Pretty sure the yankee is too small for me, but who knows. I have a feeling that I could probably fit in most aircraft out there, all just a matter of how uncomfortable I am willing to be. Useful load along with weight and balance with others with...

    I asked her that, the rate goes down but it is still really expensive, I forget how much. Guess the good thing is someone WILL I sure me in whatever plane I want, it will just cost me until I get the hours. Guess I have to get a “boring” plane until then. Even tailwheel aircraft they seem to...

    I appreciate that, funny as I was just looking at those today. It is strange their are several on there for around the price for one near me...a 1958 172, 300 SMO but has seen better days and has damage history (hard landing that crushed the firewall in 2011 - triggered the overhaul. Your...

    I assume you are meaning a 172 for less than 20K? I cannot find that on the web, and I am willing to buy site-unseen (with a checkout by the A&P of course). For everyone else, I appreciate the help, but I got the quote back from Gallagher and I am looking at $6500yr for a Comanche 180 and...

    Here is another Comanche 180 that is somewhat closer to me: $34K Geat solid time builder. Burning 8.5 gallons per hour. Fresh annual 12/2019. Io360 with 1060 smoh. Prop is basically brand new 60 smoh. Ifr capable but not certified.

    And this isnt the Comanche I was really looking too hard at. So many used planes out there for sale, it is dizzying. I have also seen vintage Bonanzas for sale for $25K, this one is from Barnstormers. 600hrs SMO

    Good info on the 182, I will keep an eye out on this one. I think little things like seat adjusters is something alot of folks ignore in their "toys" and don't do much with. I know this is the case with me. Being tall, I just expect to be uncomfortable. I drive a Smart car and Mini Cooper...

    Wow, I have not heard of this Swift 94UL, I will check to local airports and see if they have it. Also understanding that not all aircraft will accept it, but good to know if anyone around here has it when it is $1 cheaper than 100LL. I know it doesn't come up on ForeFlight for any of the...

    Yeah, planes "biting" me doesn't concern me. I have run into exhaust nozzles of the B-1b, at my head level. I have fallen off the tail of a C-130 and cracked my nose off the top center console of a C-130 when we were descending into Kuwait city years ago though moderate turbs - gave me two...

    Oh I was born to fly the Bonanza! I have ridden in them several times and each time I LOVE it. Nice planes, fast, I feel like we just stole a Lamo or something of the like. And you are correct, I can make a Bonanza work for sure, but this is a plane I DID check on insurance - THERE IS SOME...

    What is your inseam? Mine is 36in and I fit into a 152, I just don't like the shoulder to shoulder-ness that is included in it. No thanks. 182 - I will look again to see how many of these are available, I haven't seen alot lately. But I completely expect that price tag to be "up there" for...
