Good evening! I will be flying my girlfriend down to Fernandina Beach this weekend in my Piper Arrow. Looking for a fun little day trip for the two of us within a two hour flight from KFHB (135kts cruise speed). Considering Vero Beach and Daytona Beach but am looking for other options. Also eye...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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?

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...

Hello all, Looking into purchasing an Arrow III or similar aircraft. My question is how much more is the complex aspect going to cost me in annual inspection/annual mx expenses? How much is a typical annual inspection going to cost me? I'm also curious about insurance. I'm a private pilot with...

Hey all, I'm looking into getting my first airplane to build time in the next month or so. I'm a PPL and doing my training at Purdue. I will need a loan for the plane itself which I'm looking to purchase for roughly $30-35k. (I don't have an exact plane picked out yet) I will be able to...

I'm looking for a cessna 120 or 140 for sale to finish time building while I'm at college. Would like relatively low time on the engine and a newer transponder/comm. If anyone on here has one or knows anyone that's looking to sell one let me know! Looking to pay around $30k

Good evening, I have some questions regarding a student pilot flying with a PPL and what's legal. I'll throw out some hypotheticals to make it easier to understand. If a PPL flies with a student, obviously the PPL is PIC and is the only one who can log time no matter what. Let's say PPL flies a...

Good evening everyone, I have been wanting to ask this question but a lot of people I ask don't have a solid answer and answers tend to vary. The question lies in how to start different sized piston engines and fuel injected vs carbureted. I have flown in many single engine piston aircraft...

Hello all, I recently did a checkout in a 172. The flight lasted 1.1 total. My preflight brief with the CFI was no more than five minutes as he had just hopped out of another plane and I had already preflighted. After we landed we did a postflight briefing that also lasted roughly five minutes...
