THE WARRIOR IS A GREAT AIRPLANE, AND I HAVE SUNG THIER PRAISES IN MY ADS FOR YEARS !!
STRETCHED FUSELAGE FOR REAL REAR SEAT LEGROOM
MODERN DASH LAYOUT, WITH 2 RADIO STACKS, 6 PACK INSTRUMENT LAYOUT, QUADRANT THROTTLE, RAM"S HORN YOKES, AND BOTH SIDE TOE-BRAKES !!
THE TAPER WING IS MORE EFFICIENT, SO CRUISE IS FASTER, CLIMB IS IMPROVED, AND LANDING IS SMOOTHER
THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THE WARRIOR IS POWER !!
ON A HOT DAY, OR AT HIGHER ALTITUDES, OR WHEN LOADED, THE WARRIOR STRUGGLES A BIT.
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE 161 WARRIOR HELPED OF COURSE, BUT PIPER WONDERED WHAT 180 H.P. WOULD DO FOR THE STRETCHED AIRFRAME WITH THE TAPER WING.
IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS COMBINATION, WHICH THEY CALLED THE ARCHER, IS ONE OF THE BEST ALL AROUND 4 PLACE AIRPLANES EVER BUILT !!
IT WAS VERY EASY FOR PIPER TO CONVERT THE WARRIOR TO THE ARCHER, AS THE 150/160/180 H.P. ENGINES ARE ALL VERY SIMILAR IN SIZE, SHAPE AND WEIGHT, AND EVEN BETTER, THEY ALL FIT THE SAME ENGINE MOUNT !!
THIS FACT WAS NOT LOST ON THE AFTERMARKET, AND THE RESULT IS THE ARCH/WARRIOR, LIKE THIS ONE HERE !!
180 H.P. 0-360A4M ENGINE, JUST LIKE AN ARCHER
76EM8S5-60 PROP, JUST LIKE THE ARCHER
THIS ONE HAS 1262 SMOH, WITH A TBO OF 2,000 HOURS, SO IT"S GOT A DECADE OR MORE OF FLYING LEFT IN IT !!
TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME IS 5542 TT
THIS AIRPLANE LOOKS GOOD OVERALL, WITH JUST A FEW SPOTS WHERE THE PAINT IS COMING OFF THAT YOU WILL WANT TO TOUCH UP
THE CUSTOM RED STRIPES ARE ACTUAL TAPE STRIPES, SO THEY COULD EASILY BE REMOVED, OR UPDATED, AS YOU LIKE.
EQUIPPED WITH THE LATER STYLE LARGE WHEELPANTS, LIKE 1978 AND UP ARCHERS HAVE, THESE PANTS INCREASE CRUISE SPEED, AND INCREASE THE RAMP APPEAL GREATLY
INSIDE, THE TAN CLOTH/VINYL SEATS AND SIDE PANELS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, WITH NO RIPS, TEARS OR DISCERNIBLE WEAR
UNLIKE MOST WARRIORS, AND LIKE MANY ARCHERS, THIS AIRCRAFT IS EQUIPPED WITH A GOOD AUTOPILOT !!
ONCE YOU HAVE FLOWN WITH A GOOD AUTOCONTROL 111, WITH IT"S HEADING BUG, YOU WILL WONDER HOW YOU FLEW LONG FLIGHTS WITHOUT IT !!
IFR AVIONICS EQUIPPED, INCLUDING:
MAC 1700VTX DIGITAL 720 CHANNEL NAV-COM, WITH FLIP-FLOP, VOICE FEATURE AND EXTENDED MEMORY DISPLAYS. THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH GLIDESLOPE.
KING KY-97A DIGITAL 760 CHANNEL COMM, ALSO WITH EXTENDED MEMORY CHANNELS AND FLIP-FLOP
KING KA-134 PUSH BUTTON AUDIO PANEL WITH SEPARATE KING MARKER BEACON PANEL
KING KR-86 ADF SYSTEM WITH COMBINED TEARDROP ANTENNA, NO LONG WIRE!!
KT-76A MODE C TRANSPONDER WITH ENCODER
4 PLACE EGT/CHT DIGITAL GRAPHIC ENGINE MONITOR, FOR BETTER FUEL FLOW CONTROL AND ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS
WIRED FOR APOLLO GPS, BUT THIS UNIT IS NOT CURRENTLY INSTALLED OR INCLUDED

THIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED SILLY DAMAGE WHEN THE OWNER PUSHED THE AIRCRAFT BACK INTO IT"S HANGER BY HIMSELF,AND COCKED IT A LITTLE, ALLOWING THE OUTBOARD TRAILING EDGE SKIN OF THE STABILATOR TO HIT A VERTICAL POST !!
THIS WRINKLED THAT AFT STABILATOR SKIN, AND ALSO WRINKLED THE AFT LEFT SIDE SKINS OF THE FUSELAGE SLIGHTLY
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS I TOOK, THE SKINS ARE NOT SERIOUSLY DEFORMED, (THE IMPACT WAS SLOW, AND WITHOUT A LOT OF FORCE), AND THE PLASTIC TAILCONE FAIRINGS (JUST REPLACED WITH NEW AND REPAINTED, BUT NOT YET STRIPED) ARE UNDAMAGED, AS IS THE REST OF THE STABILATOR, TIPS AND TRIM TABS.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS SHOT INSIDE THE TAIL, ONLY ONE OF THE STRINGERS SEEMS TO HAVE A KINK, AND IT IS AT THE FAR AFT. THE REST OF THE DAMAGE IS JUSTLIGHT SKIN DEFORMATION, WHICH CAN PROBIBLY BE CAREFULLY MESSAGED OUT !!
THE BENT STABILATOR TRAILING SKIN WAS STRAIGHTENED, AND THIS AIRCRAFT HAS RECENTLY BEEN FERRIED IN THIS CONDITION, AND I WOULD CONSIDER IT SAFE TO FLY ANYWHERE, AS IS, FOR FINAL REPAIRS
THE REAR BULKHEAD, WHERE THE STABILATOR HINGES, SHOWS NO DAMAGE.
SO HERE"S YOUR CHANCE FOR A NICE, 180 H.P. TAPER WING, STRETCHED FUSELAGE AIRPLANE WITH IFR DIGITAL RADIOS AND AUTOPILOT, FOR LESS THAN THE PRICE OF AN OLD 140 !!
THERE IS ONLY ONE OF THESE AVAILABLE, DON"T MISS THIS !!
LOCATED AT THE CHERAW, S.C. AIRPORT (KCQW), JUST S.E. OF CHARLOTTE.
SOLD WITH AIRFRAME AND ENGINE LOGBOOKS, AND FAA BILL OF SALE !!
AS AN INCENTIVE TO HIT THE BUY IT NOW, WE WILL SUPPLY THE REQUIRED SKIN FOR THE STABILATOR, AND THE REAR 3 FEET OF ANOTHER, UNDAMAGED TAILCONE, SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE ANY OF THE SKIN OR STRINGERS YOU MAY DESIRE TO AFFECT THE REPAIR ANY WAY YOU CHOOSE, IF YOU HIT THE BUY IT NOW.
THIS AIRPLANE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER DAMAGE EXCEPT THOSE ON THE TAIL LISTED !!
NO PROP STRIKE OR ENGINE DAMAGE, IT RUNS AND FLEW GREAT !!
NO WING OR CONTROL SURFACE DAMAGE
NO HAIL !!
NO FUSELAGE DAMAGE ON RIGHT SIDE, AND NONE FORWARD OF THE AFT SKINS SHOWNALL RADIOS FUNCTION WELL !!
LOT"S OF AIRPLANE, WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT !!
GREAT AIRPLANE TO LEARN TO FLY IN, AND THEN YOU CAN KEEP IT, BECAUSE IT IS ALSO A GREAT CROSS-COUNTRY CRUISER !!
GOOD BIDDING !!
