    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Thanks for the reply. The Arrow III and up I think have slightly more fuel capacity, but the extra room and tapered wings slow em down? I'm actually following the advice of my AME and CFI, and looking at Multi Engines. It's time. He trains on a Seneca II, which I've been in before. Love the...

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Out of Oshawa? That 180 wouldn't happen to be FQER? The 180 is as bulletproof as GA aircraft can get in my opinion. Very little to go wrong! But speed is not it's strong suit lol. Fly safe!

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    I appreciate the reply! That's the rock I'm stuck between. Upgrade the 180D with avionics a d an autopilot, or purchase the lower hour Arrow with waas and autopilot already in it. Although, it looks like the Arrow may have a pending deal already :confused:

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Mines a 69' 180D as well. I can't complain at all with annuals and extra costs. It needs an interior but that's cosmetics, and doesn't effect its safety. An aluminum tube with bricks for wings is usually how I describe it :cornut: But with a 100% dispatch reliability!

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    I actually looked at an older Cherokee 235. 2 years older than my 180. Was a nice aircraft actually. But the numbers didn't add up at the time, and I actually started eyeing Cherokee 6s with the 260. Life/work keeps slowing down the hunt. The Arrow in question landed (no pun intended) right in...

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    I knew that comment was coming eventually. I could have asked for a good meatloaf recipe and got this reply :D Bonanza - Tall torso, even with trimmed foam seats, I'm not comfortable enough to want to own one. Been in a V35 and an A36. Not sure if there is any difference with other models...

    How do you like that TruTrak? I've been eyeing it and the Trio as well. The GFC 500 is beautiful too, but expensive when compared to those two guys lol

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Thank you so much everyone for the replies! I'm too lazy to quote every single one lol. Seems kinda 80/20. 80% stick with the Cherokee. 20% for the Arrow. A new contract has me taking commercial flights that are around 780nm. Most of that spent over Lake Huron and Superior (SW Ontario to...

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Ya, I'm beginning to realize that the more I ask other pilots :crazy: Even my AME was suggesting to add speed mods and a Cruise prop. Current prop is a Climb prop, aircraft used to be based out near the Rockies. The Cherokee is paid for and cheap overall to annual and insure. Saying "positive...

    Cherokee 180 to Arrow 180

    Hi! I'm Tim! Long time looker, first time poster. I'm on a few different forums looking for any information from Arrow owners. Currently own a 69' 180 Cherokee and she's been a great airframe. Trips are usually around 700km (380NM). I usually true at 110 knots, 120 if I point the nose down in...
