    PA28R-200 Air Tex interior

    Considering upgrading interior with a partial or full Air Tex interior, biggest things I need are seats/carpet/wall panels. Has anyone done this in an Arrow and can share their experience installing it yourself? Along with that, what's the cost for a full interior on a PA28? Will get a quote...

    PA28R-200 oil plug

    Good evening everyone, Was doing the first oil change after 50hrs on my 1969 Arrow 200 (IO360 C1C). I unscrewed the gold cap of the drain plug and pushed up on the inner cylinder to let the oil drain. All was fine and the oil came out, however once I went to let the plug down it just won't come...

    IO360 C1C heater

    Out of curiosity, why would you recommend getting it fixed before flying, It won’t hurt anything besides me being cold, right?

    IO360 C1C heater

    Hey all, i was doing some exhaust work on my PA28R-200 with the IO360 C1C 200hp. I found this before I removed the shroud and am not sure if it was like this already before I started working on it. This is on the left hand side of the engine right below cylinder 4 riser/muffler. Is this a hose...

    Cylinder 1 very low temp and running rough- Piper Arrow

    Well guys, the culprit has been found. Exhaust pipe from Cyl 1 completely detached, explains the low EGT (Yes it was EGT, not CHT my bad) and shaking. I checked all the other cylinder pipes and while the left side (cyl 2/4) look fine, cylinder 3 is cracked at the flange. That is definitely going...

    Cylinder 1 very low temp and running rough- Piper Arrow

    As I was flying my 1969 Arrow I today, I was doing some light maneuvering at 6000' normal cruise power setting. Upon feeling a slight shake begin coming from the engine, I looked at my CHTs and noticed cylinder 1 was far lower than the other three, which were running normally. The engine ran...

    Piper yoke cover/wrap

    Has anyone here wrapped their yoke or purchased covers somewhere like the photo I included? Would love to do this to my Arrow. I'm just curious as to what's the most efficient/cheapest way to do this? Is there a good place to order covers for them from?

    GoPro mounts?

    Haha! Love your vids man. I've seen the angle you use from the top of your tail on the 310, whatever mount that is must be pretty strong?

    GoPro mounts?

    Hey guys, What are the best and most secure mounts for a gopro for the exterior of an airplane? I plan on putting a gopro on the outside wingtip of my arrow as well as possibly on the bottom of the tail for some future videos. Anyone here have used any mounts on this aircraft type and have...

    Piper Arrow III mx/insurance

    Thanks for the great information. How much would a "thorough" prebuy cost and where do you recommend finding a good A&P for the job? It has 5,315TT and 785SMOH on the IO360. Hangared in SC. I'll include the spec sheet here. From what I can tell the wing spar AD has not been complied with but...

    Piper Arrow III mx/insurance

    Also: along with the insurance, would it be accurate to expect them requiring me to do 5-10 hours dual in the plane with a CFI before I can carry passengers?

    Buying an airplane at a young age

    Thank you! I'm planning on $35k to be honest but there are a good amount of decent older airplanes in the low 30s. Trust me I've been analyzing all the sale sights for months haha. I'll have to look into AOPA.
