1975 PIPER WARRIOR, ONLY 2075 HOURS TOTAL TIME SINCE NEW A/F AND ENGINE, LIGHT SPORT !!
DUE TO THE ADOPTION OF THE NEW MOSAIC LIGHT SPORT RULES, AS OF OCTOBER 23RD OF THIS YEAR, THIS WARRIOR CAN BE FLOWN AS A LIGHT SPORT AIRCRAFT WITH ONLY A DRIVER’S LICENSE AS A MEDICAL, AND BY A NEW LIGHT SPORT PILOT WITH AS LITTLE AS 20 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION!
SAFE, EASY AND SUPER RELIABLE, THIS SUPER LOW TIME IS A MOSAIC DREAM!!
THE PIPER CHEROKEE WARRIOR IS THE ENTRY LEVEL 4 PLACE AIRPLANE IN PIPER’S MID 1970’S LINE, AND IT IS A GREAT ALL-AROUND AIRPLANE!
THE WARRIOR INTRODUCED THE TAPER WING TO THE CHEROKEE LINE, AND THIS WING WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT IT SPREAD TO THE ENTIRE LINE BY 1980!!
MUCH MORE FORGIVING THEN THE OLD HERSHEY BAR WING, THE TAPER WING HAS EXCELLENT LANDING QUALITIES (IT IS HARD TO MAKE A BAD LANDING IN A WARRIOR), WITH EXCELLENT ROLL CONTROL DUE TO THE LONGER AILERONS AND INCREASED CRUISE SPEED DUE TO THE TAPERED DESIGN!
MARKETED AS A GREAT ENTRY LEVEL OWNER FLOWN AIRPLANE (PIPER CONTINUED TO PRODUCE THE 140 THROUGH 1977 FOR THE TRAINING MARKET), THE OWNER FLOWN MARKET IS STILL THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE WARRIOR TODAY!
THE WARRIOR INTERIOR LAYOUT AND FEATURES WERE VERY MODERN AT THE TIME OF INTRODUCTION AND STILL HOLD UP WELL TODAY, WITH A FANTASTIC INSTUMENT LAYOUT, WELL PLACED ENGINE GUAGES, A DOUBLE CENTER STACK FOR AVIONICS, QUADRANT THROTTLE AND MIXTURE, GREAT, COMFORTABLE SEATS FRONT AND BACK, BETTER VENTILATION, BETTER INTERIOR LIGHTING, TOEBRAKES ON BOTH SIDES, SHOULDER HARNESSES, AND BETTER VENTILATION THAN MOST OTHER AIRCRAFT TYPES!!
ALTHOUGH MANY FLIGHT SCHOOLS HAVE USED WARRIORS AS TRAINERS, THIS AIRPLANE WAS AN OWNER FLOWN AIRPLANE FOR MOST OF IT’S LIFE!!
AND AS SUCH, THIS AIRPLANE HAS A VERY, VERY LOW TOTAL TIME OF ONLY 2,075 HOURS!
WITH MANY TRAINER WARRIORS AND ARCHERS HAVING 10,000, 12,000, EVEN 14,000 HOURS, AND 172’S EVEN MORE HOURS, A 2075 HOUR AIRPLANE IS A TRUE RARITY IN THE MARKET!
AND WHEN IT WAS USED IS INTERESTING AS WELL:
AFTER 10 YEARS IN SERVICE, THE AIRPLANE HAD ONLY 534 HOURS TOTAL TIME!
AFTER 20 YEARS, IT HAD 1,119
AFTER 30 YEARS, IT HAD 1,568
TODAY, IT HAS 2075!
USED LIGHTLY, BUT CONSISTANTLY IT’S WHOLE LIFE!!
THE BULLIT-PROOF 0-320 ENGINE IS ORIGINAL TO THE AIRPLANE, SO THE SAME 2075 SINCE NEW, BUT WITH GOOD REGULAR MAINTENANCE IT HAS HUNDREDS OF HOURS LEFT OF LIFE IN IT (FLIGHT SCHOOLS REGULARILY RUN THESE ENGINES TO 3,500 HOURS)!
ALL FOUR CYINDERS WERE REPLACED IN 2002 ABOUT 625 HOURS AGO, AND THE MAGS WERE OVERHAULED IN 2021!
COSMETICALLY, THE PAINT IS A LITTLE FADED AND WORN FROM YEARS OF WASHING AND WAXING.
THE INTERIOR IS IN OVERALL GOOD SHAPE, BUT NOT PERFECT.
THE PILOT’S SEAT HAS THE DESIREABLE VERTICALLY ADJUST FEATURE!!
EQUIPPED WITH A FULL MODERN GYRO PANEL, THE AVIONICS ARE KING: KMA 20 AUDIO PANEL WITH MARKER BEACONS, KX 170B 720 CHANNEL NAV-COM WITH GLIDESLOPE, KING KT-78 TRANSPONDER WITH MODE “C”.
AND A GARMIN GPS 150 PANEL MOUNT GPS
AND A UAVIONICS ADSB “OUT” TAILBEACON TO BE LEGAL IN ALL AIRSPACE!
THE MAJOR EXTERIOR MOD IS THE ADDITION OF RMD WINGTIPS WITH HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTS UNDER GLASS.
THIS IS A GOOD AIRPLANE, IN CURRENT ANNUAL UNTIL APRIL OF 2026, READY FOR A LITTLE TLC!
AND A LITTLE AFT FUSELAGE REPAIR!
THIS AIRCRAFT WAS BEING FLOWN IN SOUTH TEXAS WHERE IT IS BASED WHEN IT HIT A LARGE BIRD ON THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILATOR!
THE STAB STAYED INTACT, SO THE PILOT WAS ABLE TO FLY HOME AND MAKE A NORMAL, CONTROLLED LANDING, BUT THERE IS DAMAGE!
THE RIGHT SIDE SKINS OF THE STABILATOR ARE WRINKLED AND BENT. THE CENTER SECTION AND LEFT SIDE SUFFERED NO DAMAGE, THE TRIM TABS ON BOTH SIDS SUFFERED NO DAMAGE AND EVEN THE RIGHT STAB TIP IS UNDAMAGED, BUT THE EASIEST WAY TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE IS BY SIMPLY BOLTING ON A REPLACEMENT GOOD USED HORIZONTAL, RATHER THAN REPLACING THE STAB SKINS.
WE WILL SUPPLY ONE FROM OUR USED STOCK AT NO CHARGE WITH THE SALE, INCLUDING SHIPPING, IF YOU HIT THE BUY IT NOW TO BUY THE AIRPLANE!
ADDITIONAL DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FAR AFT TAILCONE SKINS (ABOUT THE AFT 12-16" WERE AFFECTED.
WE WILL ALSO SHIP THE AFT 3 FEET OF A GOOD USED TAILCONE AT NO CHARGE IF THE BUYER USES THE BUY IT NOW!
THIS SHOULD BE ALL OF THE PARTS REQUIRED TO GET THIS AIRPLANE UP AND GOING!
THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE FROM THIS OR ANY OTHER EVENT!
NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS, CONTROL SURFACES OR LANDING GEAR!
NO DAMAGE TO THE FIREWALL, COWLINGS, CABIN OR GLASS!
NO DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL FIN OR RUDDER!
NO DAMAGE TO THE PROP, SPINNER OR ENGINE!!
IF YOU WANTED TO FERRY THE AIRPLANE, I GUESS I WOULD REPLACE THE STABILATOR (2 BOLTS), BUT THE TAILCONE HAS ALREADY BEEN FLOWN LIKE THIS AFTER THE BIRD STRIKE, SO ...? IT SEEMS POSSIBLE TO DO THAT SKIN REPAIR LATER.
SOLD WITH A CRAZY AMOUNT OF DETAILED PAPERWORK FOR SUCH A LOW TIME AIRPLANE!
AND THE AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS BACK TO DAY 1 IN 1975 AND TO THE LAST ANNUAL IN 2025!
ENGINE LOG FROM BRAND NEW TO LAST ANNUAL AS WELL!
PROP IS ALSO 2075 SINCE NEW!
AND THE FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE!
AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE
AND THE KEYS!
LOCATED ON THE RAMP AT THE CAMERON TEXAS AIRPARK NEAR AUSTIN.
WE WILL PAY THE TIEDOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
WHAT A GREAT SIMPLE PROJECT, WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU PUT INTO IT BECAUSE OF IT’S SUPER LOW TOTAL TIME!!
GOOD BIDDING!
