A LABOR OF LOVE! THAT IS ALL THAT CAN BE SAID OF YOUR PROJECT. YOU LOVE AVIATION.
Thank you very much! It is that... lots of work but very satisfying and actually really enjoyable, if you just don't let yourself feel rushed and stop when you start to get frustrated with something or over-tired.
Another great video. I noticed on my Wing Spar those port holes that face the front seats, mine are taped up with duct tape. I'm going to ask my A&P, but I noticed yours were open. Just curious why someone would do that. I've also gone through 2 annuals and a very thorough 141 inspection where nothing was ever mentioned about this one way or another. I'm pretty excited as I'm finishing out the clean-out today. Seats are done and trim painted, so I'm hoping reassembly will go as planned.. Fingers crossed!
Yeah mine were covered in glued carpet… neither one is good for keeping moisture out. My new carpet is not glued so it can be accessed each year. Sounds like you’re making great progress. Keep it up!
Did you happen to find out anything about installing inertial reel shoulder belts for the back seat? Since they were optional from the factory, it seems like there should be mounting provisions but i can't find any info. And I don't want to take my headliner down to look lol. Been wanting to install the new Amsafe reels with airbags in my Turbo Arrow 3. Thanks for the video.
I have not yet. I meant to chat with Piper about that at Oshkosh and forgot. I’d anyone on the channel knows the answer, please share
Another good video. This total project likely has taken you hundreds of hours. This is the most in depth video I have seen on the Internet especially where it concern a Piper Arrow. Great work.
Thank you again for all of your comments. I trying to make this as useful as possible for others and as enjoyable as a how-to video can be...
do you need to do a new weight and balance for the log book?
Depends on how much you change. Check with your A&P. For me the insulation swap was pretty even as far as the weight. Same with the seats and panels.
Hey Bob - I have a PA-28 Archer. I'm looking at picking up some of that 1/2 & 1/4 sound proofing. How many sheets did you order or each?
So my order was for 2 Sheets of the 1/4 inch and 4 Yards of the 1/2 inch. I think they changed the way they sell it now… it’s either both by the yard or sheet. Not sure. But just tell Airtex your aircraft serial number and they can tell you how much you need.
any weight difference between the two types insulation? love the way you present your videos thanks
I'll have to do a weight comparison, but I'd say its pretty negligible. The soundproofing is really light. If I compare the weight of a trash bag full of all the old insulation that filled the plane, and the roll of soundproofing, is a pretty close match. But, I'll try to get a more specific answer. Thank you very much for the complement and for watching.
I was surprised to see so many wires along the left wall. Frame 11:22 shows them well. What is the large bundle of small spaghetti wires for? Also, what are the 2 large green pipes? I've never seen behind the wall panels of a plane before. It's kind of interesting.
The brown wires are the cables running to the antennas on the rear top and bottom of the airplane. The green hoses are attached what looks like a pitot tube on the left side of the fuselage - they are used for the landing gear override. Basically, if airspeed drops too low with the gear lever in the up position, it will drop the gear for me. It assumes I am landing and forgot to lower the gear. There is an override switch I can use to prevent that from happening if I just need to fly really slow with the gear up.
The battery for the airplane is in the back, so I believe that big white wire runs back there. As for all the others, many of them are connecting exterior lights and other equipment to the panel. They run down from the wall there and under the rear seat bench to get to the other side of the airplane. The right side was is total bare. All the wiring runs down the left side.
If any A&Ps out there want to chime in with more specifics - please do.
What product did you use for the zinc chromate, was it from SEM also?
No it was a zinc chromate paint that I got from a marine supply store. I was approved for use in aluminum boats so figured if it can protect aluminum that sits in water it should do the trick.
You have a three bladed prop on your Piper. What is the benefit of three blades? I have the old two blade paddle prop that comes with the plane. Better fuel? Lower RPM for speed? What?
It gives slightly better climb (supposedly) but can actually cost you a knot or two at cruise I'm told. In reality, I'm not sure you would really notice much difference in either because so many other factors can affect both. But it looks really nice :)
It was done by the previous owner in 2016. I think it was just time to replace the prop and they decided to splurge a little.
@@BlueSkyFlight The three blades look "cool". I think Cessna 210 and other larger aircraft when I see the three blades. More expensive and more expansive at prop overhaul but cool. As far as speed, I don't look for speed. I look for time in the air and longer periods between overhauls. That Piper can be flown at 55% power and burn 8 or fewer gallons per hour with a speed of about 100 knots or more depending on load. That is just fine or 75% power and 10-11 gallons per hour with a 10 knot, maybe a little more speed increase. Great little plane to fly up to 15,000 feet and around the mountains with relatively low operating costs. Great little plane you have there.
I run rich of peak, but averaging about 8.5 to 9 per hour @ 75% and get in the 130kts range +/-
