Howdy Folks! Looking to upgrade the old Cherokee 180D with a glass VFR panel. I've read many different posts on various forums about Dynons HDX and the AeroCruze Autopilot. Any owners wish to share their experiences with either product here? I know the AeroCruze still has it's IFR limits...

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...

Hello POA experts:) I have had a student approach me that just purchased as PA28-140. actually he was referred to my by another even heavier instructor... With the 2 us together we weigh about 465lbs. With the current weight and balance information we have the only way we can even get it close...

Hi I am 17 and bought an airplane with some money I saved up, and got a Piper Challenger 180 (PA-28). Bought it back in March after I had a prebuy done on it and said it was free of cracks and corrosion on the wing spar and other places. Couple that with it have a a 0 time engine I bought the...

This is probably a basic question but our club just got a PA28-180 added. The manual calls for the start to be on the left magento very specifically. The other planes I have flown have both been 172s (a 1964 172D and a 1976 172M); this Cherokee is 1963 but in my limited experience I have not...

I'm looking for folks in west Michigan to partner in on a Cherokee Six, Lance, or Saratoga. Ive got a big family, but we won't be flying a ton. The preferred base would be KGRR or KAZO area, including 35D, KBTL, or 61D. I'm a COM ASEL Instrument pilot with a lapsed CFI. Thanks for looking...

Anyone know of a rental, 6 place plane in Michigan, near Kalamazoo? I talked to the folks in ARB already, and it seems awesome, but I thought I'd look for something closer to home before I got in over there. I know MKG used to have a Lance, but that's about as far from me as ARB. I'm getting...

Hello! I’m looking to get my pilots certificate and would like to buy an airplane now so I have no limitation on scheduling and have a plane to fly around in when I get it. What would make a better first airplane purchase. The two planes I’ve narrowed it down to are a Piper Cherokee 140/160...

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 just received my commercial certificate and I’m currently looking at planes to buy to build time but the only problem is that I’m 6’6 I did all my training in a 172 and I fit well enough but honestly I’m ready to fly something different but I know there aren’t a lot of options out there for a...

Just thought I'd toss out a FYI post. I'm in process of buying a Piper and they completed the eddy current inspection on the wing spar. I wanted to be there to look at the test equipment and talk to the NDI rep. It passed with no issues. So out of 50 planes he has completed this test on they...

Free to a new home, a Bruce’s cover for a PA32RT 300. Worn, but still useful. Aircraft was lost in an accident, but still have the cover. Not going to ship it. You can pick it up around Marietta Georgia, KRYY or KCNI.

This is a bit of an odd question and I'm not quite sure where to ask it, but my Google-fu has come up dry, so I'm turning to the collective wisdom of POA for help. I'm a US pilot with an FLVC for C-registered aircraft. I went to university at Acadia in Nova Scotia and a lot of my friends still...

Test flew a Cherokee 140 with the 160hp upgrade. 30ish hours on a 2013 OH (yes I know...) Engine ran smooth, started first crank after admittedly sitting for awhile, nice little trip around the pattern and town with the only squwaks being a push to talk that seemed sticky and a oil temperature...

My 6' 7" nephew wants to learn to fly and he barely fits in my Cherokee 140. If I could move the seat back two more holes I think it would be perfect. Is it legal to drill two more holes in a seat track? If so would it be a minor alteration?

My friend asked me to go check out a Cherokee 6 for him tomorrow. I've bought two planes on my own and did some pretty good research on them before I started looking around so I knew what to look for. But since I don't have that time. I was wondering if anyone had any info on what to look for on...

I live in Minneapolis St. Paul MN Area. My mission is to carry me and two people between the cities and Duluth MN. I am looking at Cherokee 160 and 180's and C-172s. I've found two in MN that are really nice. Could anyone give me some advice on what to look for in these airplanes? I have lots of...
