I am married. I have had boats and plan on another one. I should probably look into an airplane to cover my bases.Piper's are nice. Cheers Bob! Does going up make you miss it Bob?
I loved this video. My check ride was in a Warrior, not as nice as yours, back in 1981. You brought back fond memories. My check ride pilot was a woman who ferried new build bombers from Kansas City to the east coast during WW II. Christie, follow your dream 👍🏻🇱🇷😀🛩
My mom put me on a Boeing 727 by myself when I was about six years old in the late 60's. When the plane started accelerating I immediately liked the feeling and when the runway dropped away (which is how I saw it as a kid) I was hooked for life. The flight attendants didn't have to worry about whether or not the little six year old kid by himself was okay or not, they had to worry about whether he was going to get off the plane without causing a scene.

What a delightful woman. She lives and breathes aviation. Love this new channel, Bobby. Hard to believe you don't have the yen to get back in the left seat.
Love to see the enthusiasm she has, great way to get more women interested in flying as a profession or hobby. She made a great choice going with the Warrior with a 180 hp engine.
I bought my first airplane out of Denton, TX, had it flown to Waterbury Connecticut. A 1971 Piper Cherokee, nice little airplane, then a Warrior, then an Archer, then an ArrowII, then back to the great little Warrior...man did I have a great time. All in all, I had 3 Warriors..🙂
Great video! The Piper Warrior is a terrific airplane that offers exceptional value. My PA28161 gives me a solid 122 KTAS at 75% power burning less than 10 GPH. The gross weight increase to 2440 lbs provides a useful load of 950 lbs. Truly one of the best bang for the buck 4 place fixed gear airplanes out there.
With the 180HP Bold Warrior conversion, I’m guessing she has the 60 degree climb prop installed. Also, she leans 8 gal an hour, which is pretty low cruise on a Bold Warrior.
Cool to see someone so enthusiastic about flying. She was really born to fly. I like her pants too. If she ever gets lost, all she has to do is look at her pants, and find her way home!
In the 60s I learned to fly in a ‘mouse’ . In the mid 90s I did some flying again in a warrior. I was amazed at it’s climb performance and would love to have one .
I wan't too sure about Flying Doodles but have become a fan. I have followed MR Aviation 101 for last 2yrs and this is a fun way to stay in touch with real folks who love to fly.I'm a Patreon on Sailing so I'll be happy to support this channel too.Good work Bobby thanks for your hard work & dedication
that was great; Christy is a success story; her plane is awesome and she seemed a bit nervous with Bobby ace White but she is confident; it would be great to fly with her
Got my ticket after leaving the Navy as a SAR Crewman (H1) in a Cherokee 140 in 5 months back in 1975, at my parent’s FBO, Flagler Co., Fla. Good memories! Thanks Booby! Good stuff! You’re great at this, you’ll always have a following whatever you go do. Les
Highly uncommon in many flight schools that have you idle, taxi with the mixture in. Glad your school is teaching a much better method for maintaining the aircraft. Cheers
In 1978 I used to fly a new 160 hp Warrior. The aircraft was very stable and very forgiving, unfortunately it was also very slow although not a problem for short hops under 200 nautical miles. One thing the archer had that the trainer Warrior did, like the one shown in this video, was effective wheel pants that made the aircraft a little faster because they were much more aerodynamic than dragging simple round wheels through the air. I like the pants you have on, a great statement. It is good that you have a commercial ticket, your audience may not know that commercial pilot training teaches you to handle aircraft with precision and the instrument rating teaches accurate navigation in IMC. Thank you for this video. EDIT: Steep turns for me was 60 degrees of bank. Fun steep turns was 90 degrees of bank.
Christy, The high pitched whine in the intercomm is a failed diode in your alternator. You can tell the frequency of the whine changes with engine RPM. Depending on the type of alternator you have, the diode rectifier unit can be removed and replaced without removing the alternator. You will want to fix this before doing a panel upgrade since some avionics don’t tolerate AC noise well.
Stepclimb Thanks for the heads up! We replaced the alternator just a few months ago...it did the same thing with the old alternator. Any way to easily fix it?
christinawong82 First, I would check the log entry to see what type of alternator you have. There is a slim chance your alternator was replaced but the rectifier (usually attached to the alternator) was not. Next, to lead us in the right direction, start the engine and set up the radios so that you hear the whine. Then turn off the ALT side of your split master switch. If the noise disappears, the problem is isolated to the Alternator. Another source of that noise could be shielded wires not properly grounded. Usually, but not always, the main wires that come from the alternator to the main buss and to the voltage regulator are shielded with an outer fine wire mesh that should be attached to structure (aircraft ground). If the noise persists with the alternator off, check the condition of the p leads going to the magnetos as well, if they are shielded, make sure the shielding is grounded. However, I suspect your issue is with the alternator diodes. The alternator makes AC power and the diode bridge and capacitor in the rectifier change it to DC and smooth out the AC “ripples” When a diode fails, the AC ripples are heard through the intercom. Checking each of these connections is quite easy if you are comfortable with removing your top and bottom cowl. Please let us know what you find!
christinawong82 don’t worry about what Stepclimb is telling you. He may be right but very unlikely especially if the whine was present with the old alternator. The whine is from ground loop (electrical kind, not tail-dragger kind😄). Unfortunately this is hard to find because it’s probably coming from many points that were not grounded properly in original wiring, or upgraded wiring, or resistance due to light corrosion at various ground contacts. If you can live with the whine then I would. To solve it is like hunting for needle(s) in a haystack.
Chris Rose As I mentioned to her in the fourth paragraph above, it could also be a ground loop issue. I guess we are all waiting to see if the noise disappears when she has the engine running and shuts off the ALT side of her split master switch. If the noise persists, then yes it is probably a ground loop. But since the frequency of the noise seems to change with engine RPM, that points me to look for a failed diode in the rectifier.
Christy that is a great video and your Cherokee is awesome you and Stephen are a blessing to the Aerovalley Club, don't lose your dream to life's ups and down fly forever.
I learnt to fly on one of these! I love them, they're beautiful aeroplanes. She should be proud of such a fantastic aircraft! I dont think I'd go back to them after flying my Comanche, unless I could get the type certification for a bigger engine too.
...thanks Christy...just watched your latest interviews...you are so awesomely beautiful...and so awesomely smart..best wishes.. and keep up all the good work...
As someone in a similar boat (grew up poor-now have a family, debts, medical debts, family needs as priority...but a burning desire to fly ever since I was a child) it is very difficult and overwhelming to make these things happen.. I am glad to see Christy was able to make her dreams happen! Hopefully one day I will be able to pick back up again and follow!
I like it for it's simplicity. No real performance, but it has a lot of utility. My PPL check ride was in a Warrior One. It cost me $21/hr to rent her in my Navy Flying Club.
I learned to fly at N34 Turner Field Piper Flight Center Horsham Pennsylvania, after 4 years in the Marines 1967-70 and going to college, 25 years Mainframe Information Systems Analyst / Programmer. I rented the Piper Warriors 150 HP with the balance aileron and 160 HP ones for around 100 hours. Later, I bought a used Piper 79 Archer and then a 82 Tomahawk II. The 180 HP Warrior would be nice with a constant speed Prop. I am retired now, 70 years old, I miss flying, but it is to expensive anymore.
Great GA airplane. Flew the 151 for the first half of my private license. Then bought a 140 to finish my license, but really liked the 151 better. The 140 was STC'd for auto gas so it was cheap to fly, but the annuals were the expensive part of flying.
Yeah it was nice to get autogas but now you can’t use autogas anymore because almost all autogas has ethanol now and that is really bad to let sit in an airplane.
Haven't had my medical or a plane for over 20 years so I was unaware of the change. Thanks for pointing that out. (I use non-ethanol premium in all my toys for that reason.)
Charming woman and my choice for airplane ownership. Good taste! My favorite one of your episodes so far!! I'm in Sioux Falls, SD (Wind) but had my first intro flight there in Denton..
Christy, When performing your flight control checks, check their full travel. Yoke full forward, then while maintaining the full forward position. Full left, then full aft with the yoke still in the full left position, then full right with the yoke still full aft, then forward. This checks for possible binding throughout their full travel. Also, obviously check to insure your ailerons are moving in the proper direction during your flight control check. Also, keep your transponder in standby during taxi ops. Tailwinds...
Another great video. I'd really like to see more info about the aircraft, though. I like the pilot's stories, don't get me wrong, but more info, like the history not of the individual plane but the model, what variants exist, how long it was in production, etc.
There is a fix for all that electrical noise... The Warror is way better than the Cardinal. Cardinal. does have nice unique looks over the common C-172 (which is a better plane than Cardinal), but the Cardinal is under-powered, gutless. A 180HP Warror is basically an Archer, which is a great plane. Puts wheel pants and gap fairings on the Warror and it's fairly fast decent XC plane.
Watched this video for the third time I think. I have wanted a C177 Cardinal for so long, and still love it, but I'm now considering a low wing 1973 Bellanca Super Viking 17-30A. High performance and complex I know, but what a plane. 160 knots at 14 GPH. I want.
christinawong82 got this notification and was all like “crap, what did I do on TH-cam now”... I’ve got drunk karaoke videos from years ago btw. You’re welcome.
did STC require engine change or a modification with it "on wing still?" There is also a 210hp version of the IO-360 which the factory stroked out to an IO-390 displacement? With a light MT 3-blade prop it would approach Dakota performance since it's 220# lighter.
I enjoyed this very much. I Love flying. Anytime I can fly for vacation the flight is part of the Fun. Bobby you're one very busy dude. When did you do this? It had to be before your sailing trip.
Been looking for a Piper P28 for over a year, can't find nothing around the North Tx area, I know there has to be some for sale but I ain't found nothing but junk or real high end stuff.
Hey Christy, i went on a trial/discovery flight wednesday (29th june 2022) and i think i was supposed to be going in a warrior, but i ended up going in an archer, not a lot of difference, there from the same family of aircraft, just a little more power? It was a brilliant experience, it was very very turbulent, and when i was handed the controls, i was constantly correcting the pitch and roll, i didnt really have a lot of time to do much else, my pilot did show me a climb, which i did, and a descent, which i did too, i did a few banks, but i was banking very shallow to start with, but my pilot took over once to show me a steep bank, then i did the same degree of bank, i think it was 40 degrees of bank We headed back towards the airport, we got about half a mile away before my pilot took over again, he talked me through the procedure for joining the circuit, we even did a go around because we were a little faster than the aircraft in front, and he wouldnt have vacated the runway before we had to land So yeah, a great experience I got my class 2 medical booked for monday, hopefully i pass that and i can take to the air again soon, im planning on doing my ppl, and taking friends and family on leisure flights
What do you think of the Piper Warrior? Would that be a good plane for you?
I am married. I have had boats and plan on another one. I should probably look into an airplane to cover my bases.Piper's are nice. Cheers Bob! Does going up make you miss it Bob?
My experimental would be good for anyone, videos on my channel. For sale. Need money for a boat to live the “Bobby” lifestyle
I fly in a Piper Arrow but cannot get away from the Rockwell Commander as my favourite.
I flew the 182 in private planes......
Bob - I may be able to get some seaplane time and Saratoga & Taildragger time. Is there a way to talk private?
Her enthusiasm for flying shines in this video!
Yeah she flys all the time!
400 hours and 4 ratings in 18 months!! That is really impressive! Is it odd for you flying in the right seat?
It's very funny watching someone, who's obviously very experienced, just sat in the seat for the ride
Her yoga pants had sectional charts patterns on them. I'll bet that she has wings tatooed on her somewhere :)
I loved this video. My check ride was in a Warrior, not as nice as yours, back in 1981. You brought back fond memories. My check ride pilot was a woman who ferried new build bombers from Kansas City to the east coast during WW II. Christie, follow your dream 👍🏻🇱🇷😀🛩
Thank you! I am quickly building time and flying a ton.
Loved that she followed her dream to fly!
I do too! She had a dream, and even though life had/has other plans, she didn't let it stop her from reaching for it..and just look at her now ;)
My mom put me on a Boeing 727 by myself when I was about six years old in the late 60's.

Bruce was it hard to land the plane by yourself ?

I absolutely love my airplane! No matter what plane I fly, I'm always happy to come back to my Warrior.
I was surprised to hear 100-110knots. Sounds like many an economy cruise?

He will answer he loves to fly loves people and is a great guy like you Bobby. He is based out of San Marcos.
She is so cool, living her dream. Great video.
Christy has a Great attitude! I really like her sense of humor. "Poor man's auto-pilot" (Trim-Wheel). She's gonna be a very successful pilot!
that was great; Christy is a success story; her plane is awesome and she seemed a bit nervous with Bobby ace White but she is confident; it would be great to fly with her
She seems like such a nice person with a strong drive and motivation to continue her learning and progression as an aviator. Love the plane too.
Wow! You’ve come a long way in a very short time. I love to heat these kind of stories. Good for you!

Leaning the mixture on the ground...Damn and I thought I was one of the few who do this. Keep those plugs clean baby. Loved the video, great job.
You are not the only one - pretty heavily emphasized at my school actually.
Highly uncommon in many flight schools that have you idle, taxi with the mixture in. Glad your school is teaching a much better method for maintaining the aircraft. Cheers
Thanks!
I teach this as well. Thought everyone did it.. guess not
Love the sectional pants! Go back and look again. All Bose in the cockpit, nice touch.
Haha yeah I thought the pants were cool too
I guess this channel is more serious. There was no gratuitous camera butt shot. Ha ha. Great video, still.
Even with total navigational system failure, impossible to get lost with those pants.

Thanks for the comment! Flying is definitely addicting.
Great airplane, I purchased a 1983 Archer II pretty much the same plane. It is an absolute joy to fly.😎
good landing. Thank you
John McDevitt Thanks!

Interesting, the Warrior 2 I used to fly also had that whine in the headset... and you could hear the strobes.
Very cool and I love the Texas skys
First landing I ever did was on a Piper-28. My fave!
My favorite airplane the Piper Cherokee Warrior first solo was in the Cessna 152 then on to the Warrior

How funny, I thought I was the only one who did the rudder wiggle on final. I think it helps and gets your feet in the game.
I am currently training in the warrior it is a great plane to fly thanks for the vid it was great and a great story about her
Steven Eldridge Glad you’re enjoying your flight training in the Warrior. I did my training in one too many years ago.
Watched this video for the third time I think. I have wanted a C177 Cardinal for so long, and still love it, but I'm now considering a low wing 1973 Bellanca Super Viking 17-30A. High performance and complex I know, but what a plane. 160 knots at 14 GPH. I want.
Yeah I really like the super Viking. If I ever am able to buy a plane again I might get one.
5:22 That start sequence looked like it was a roller coaster of emotions.
Yep, I really would like to learn to fly, but the cost is too high, unfortunately! I think I'm going to really like this chanel. Great work!

I enjoyed this very much. I Love flying. Anytime I can fly for vacation the flight is part of the Fun. Bobby you're one very busy dude. When did you do this? It had to be before your sailing trip.
Just logged my first half hour today!!
Awesome pilot and plane
Thank you!
Those pants are awesome!
I used to rent one of these out of 'Cable' Field in L.A. They're great planes!
Flying Doodles is amazing!!!
Thank you!
Love it Bobby as always your content is great. Thank you for doing what you do, keep it up..
Been looking for a Piper P28 for over a year, can't find nothing around the North Tx area, I know there has to be some for sale but I ain't found nothing but junk or real high end stuff.
Christy Wong? More like christy right! ....thank you. I’ll be here all week.
I haven’t heard that one yet! 😂 Totally using it.
christinawong82 love the VFR sectional leggings btw
Enjoyed many hours during flight training in a warrior II
Hey Christy, i went on a trial/discovery flight wednesday (29th june 2022) and i think i was supposed to be going in a warrior, but i ended up going in an archer, not a lot of difference, there from the same family of aircraft, just a little more power?
It was a brilliant experience, it was very very turbulent, and when i was handed the controls, i was constantly correcting the pitch and roll, i didnt really have a lot of time to do much else, my pilot did show me a climb, which i did, and a descent, which i did too, i did a few banks, but i was banking very shallow to start with, but my pilot took over once to show me a steep bank, then i did the same degree of bank, i think it was 40 degrees of bank
We headed back towards the airport, we got about half a mile away before my pilot took over again, he talked me through the procedure for joining the circuit, we even did a go around because we were a little faster than the aircraft in front, and he wouldnt have vacated the runway before we had to land
So yeah, a great experience
I got my class 2 medical booked for monday, hopefully i pass that and i can take to the air again soon, im planning on doing my ppl, and taking friends and family on leisure flights
Is this the one they were doing aerobatics in recently and Christy made the video?
yes
