This blog is to chronicle my attempt to restore a 1972 Piper Cherokee 140e. This plane is the 'dog' of the airport and has been sitting untouched for 10 years. I purchased the plane and am attempting to restore it to flyable condition.

25 hour oil change
Finally hit that magic 25 hour goal that we had set and it was time to change the oil.
Again as before i was relieved to find that we had no trash in the oil filter. This time however I opted to send the oil off for analysis. Should have the results back in a few weeks.
I just finished reading your entire blog and watching the APOA Live video for a second time - Congratulations! I have had a lot of great aviation memories after getting my Private Certificate at 17 in 1966, adding ratings and presently still teaching as a part-time CFI - but one experience I don't have is being an airplane owner - again Congratulations - Larry Lehman - Exeter, NH
How many hours on the engine and how many hours total on the airframe?
ReplyDeleteApprox 1200 on engine and around 5000 on airframe.
