Doing the pre-flight today and discovered that the stall horn wasn't working. Thumbed through the operating manual and I didn't see any section/chapter with required equipment. Does it exist for the Cherokee/Warrior? Surely it must but I'm embarrassed to say that it never dawned on me to check...

Hey all. Don't know if this has been posted but I just wanted to pass this on. Thought it was a short and sweet explanation: https://ipadpilotnews.com/2021/11/how-does-ads-b-traffic-work/

Successfully fit a new Knots 2U wingtip on the Warrior today. Now for the right side. Replacing the old Madras droopy wingtips with these. Very nice quality. Once we fit the other tip, onto the paint shop. Trying to determine if we need to sand the primer already on the tips before painting...

Hey everyone. I've done a few searches on cabin size comparison of a Cherokee vs Mooney and I haven't been too successful. Just wondering if anyone has gone from a Cherokee/Warrior to a mid 60's Mooney and found the cabin in the Mooney tight? I'm 6ft 190 with broad shoulders. I know the general...

Hi there everyone. Recently lucked out and scored a t-hangar at the local airport and I'm looking for some suggestions on how to light the thing up. The previous tenant had the brilliant idea of using the hangar as a paint booth, I'm in the process of removing all of the fixtures (2 of which are...

Good morning all. We currently have some weird droopy wingtips (like below) on our Warrior and we're thinking about installing a new pair of some sort. Here are the two types we're looking at: - https://www.knots2u.net/fiberglass-wing-tips-upswept-set-of-two-rmd-006010-pa/ -...

I'll have to say. Receiving the phone call to let me know a t-hangar has become available is by far one of the most satisfying of all time. "I'll take it!" -- :yes:

Very happy to receive this in the mail today. I could have bought a completely restored one, but I opted for the patina. :)

Hey everyone. Looking for some recommendations on where to get a tailwheel endorsement. Ideally, I would like to go somewhere and knock it out over a weekend. I'm located in Georgia but would certainly travel within reason and make it a road trip. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Hi everyone. I'm looking to gain some perspective from outsiders on my current "dilemma". So, I'm looking to position myself to buy out a Piper Warrior 151 from my father-in-law. This will be my first stab at being an aircraft owner w/o a partner. We've had the aircraft for about 10 years and...

Greetings! My name is Zach and I've been making custom gun belts for about 10 years and I wanted to offer something for the aviation community. For pilots that still use the old school, traditional log books, why not log your entries in style with a custom leather log book cover? I made myself...

Good morning. This might be a stretch but has anyone out there attempted to overhaul one of these door latch assemblies? We are running into some issues with ours and most of the used ones out there are predictably not in good shape. These things are definitely a sore spot on the airplane, hence...

Good morning everyone. Could anyone provide some feedback on a missing door striker plate on this 1974 Piper Warrior? It looks like there was something in place but was removed. There is a latch/tongue that retracts on the bottom of the door (see attached pic) but there's no strike on the frame...

Hi all. What is the procedure for taking this piece of plastic off around the door handle? Don’t wanna snap the plastic and cracking it. Any tips? Thanks a lot

Glorious day at the Dixie Wing today...

I called my local airport today to get on the list for a hangar. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that there are only four people ahead of me. Doesn't sound too bad on the surface but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :fcross:

May be a longshot but ya never know. The 396 is getting a little tired. Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone. Looking for the above if anyone has them. Not too picky on the brand/publisher. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello everyone. I've been thinking about getting an Aera 660 but I'm wondering if Garmin has something in the works to replace it with something of the same dimensions? I know they just released the 760 but I find it too big. Any comments? :popcorn:

Hey everyone. I'm starting a "new" old book tonight and thought a thread on vintage books that are still relevant would be kinda cool. What say you? Here's mine:
