    Question on PA28-180 Start Procedure

    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...

    Rent 6 Seats SW Michigan

    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...

    Cherokee 140 belly strobe replacement bulb?

    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...

    PA-28 rental in Atlantic Canada?

    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...

    Can you add holes to a seat track?

    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?
