+Kevin B. Those are rentable in several states now. The best ones of course are armed with Browning .50 calibre machine guns so you can cut an Aztek in half.
This is NOT a 1964 Piper Cherokee. The quadrant style throttle, third set of side windows, the tapered wing (a 70’s “innovation”), and the fact that the PA-28-181 Archer II was first certified in 1975. N32115 is a 1974 PA-28-180 Cherokee Archer. Airplane nerds, as bad as car nerds, but for something even less people care about.
Yep. In 1964 it was the Cherokee 180. Same engine and fuselage, but the same straight “Hershey bar” wing of the Cherokee 140. Interesting calling a taper wing an innovation. The Cessna 172 had it from 1956, and other planes in the Cessna line from the immediate post war.
@@Bartonovich52 Yeah and the taper wing sucked! Give me a Hersey bar wing any day. The taper wing was harder to land. With taper came added washout (wing twist) and added cost.
As a pilot, this is 100% true except most of the plane nerds have never been in a real cockpit beyond maybe an introductory flight if they are lucky. Most are flight sim nuts who flip on the GPS autopilot the second after departure, and then will talk to real pilots like they know what they are talking about because they’ve plugged two things into an FMC and talked with some guy on vatsim whose as high off his own farts as he is. Then you have people like me who won’t shut up about the fact that they are an IRL pilot because they spent so much money actually getting the license that they have no money left to actually use the license. So they end up sniffing the same farts as flight simmers, except they have the license to back their shit up. The real pilots are the ones who are in the air right now or flew a couple days ago, or are prepping for their next written or checkride talking about how their airplanes need new maintenance if they are owners, or how badass it would be to own a King Air.
DUDE, aviation reviews? You freaking ROCK! You should have mentioned how expensive the plane, maintenance, operation, and how much it costs to be licensed to fly however
Sure, but how much does a sports license cost? How much is hangar space and engine maintenance? I've been looking to break into the aviation field for years. It sure as hell isn't affordable anymore. As such I'm going to just stick with ultralights.
Creepy Productions A light sport certificate can run you 3,000 to 5,000 dollars with a private pilot running you 4,000 to 6,000 dollars. You have to think of it as paying for a skill for life. I love flying and it was something I always wanted to do for a living. Now I get to do it every day and I could not be happier.
Interestingly enough, something even close to a transmission would be a turboprop engine. You have a turbine chugging out something in the ballpark of 30,000 RPM and a reduction gearbox that brings it down to around 3000 RPM. Your cruise is then adjusted with a variable-pitch, constant speed propeller.
After Top Gear got cancelled - because I prefer to think of it as cancelled, rather than kept as a zombie by BBC and 2 Actors that I want to think only accepted the part commemoratively and not because they thought that they could even come close to the real Top Gear (Because I like them both) - I thought that there never will be any other shows that could ever reach the level of craziness, spot-on absurd comments that actually bear common sense and logic and "fraternity" between the showman and the viewer.. But then I found your videos on TH-cam... I can't say that it is as good as Top Gear. Or that it ever will be. It's a hard thing to accomplish and it requires many years, Top Gear ran for more than 30 something years (If you count the old show) and there are only a few episodes per season that are memorable.. But if there's anybody out there who can make a show about cars with the proper amount of craziness and proper description just like the Clarkson-Hammond-May lineup, it's you.. If anybody is going to carry the Olympic torch of automotive madness on TV it's you, even though you're not British and you sometimes get too American for us across the Atlantic and Pacific, I believe that if you keep this up, you'll get there. Keep it going and die hard fans of Top Gear will find out about the "new kid on the block (of TH-cam)", I also wish you full success in all your endeavors and that you always be happy. :-)
Thanks for the kind words about Georgians at the end. I had moved to a new state where the moral measuring stick was way different than what I had been taught. Your words summarize exactly what I had been trying to figure out why I felt different as a Georgian compared to everyone else here. I could never really put it into words other than being genuine vs not being. But you hit the nail on the head. Continue you're awesome work here. Just goes to show that cars and vehicles are more than just assets, but can be the expressions of our personality we sometimes forget exist.
Dang, I did air force cadets when I was in my mid teens and I was given the opportunity to fly (under direct supervision) a Cessna 152 on a few occasions. Ever since I was a little kid in Primary school I've loved planes and my dream plane the whole time was a white Piper Cherokee with green stripes. Such a simple, beautiful aircraft. To this day I still don't have my licence to fly, and I'd still love to, but cars and bikes have really taken me since having learned to drive and I now know more about automobiles than I ever did about aircraft. I'd love to fly someday but unfortunately my passion for planes seems to have faded. Thank you guys for making this video. You really took me back with this one, ngl.
IMHO you have it backwards. The Archer is a very stable airplane. You have to really work at it to make it spin. Intentional spins were not allowed in the Archer I flew, but I did take it to full stall once when practicing stall recovery with an instructor. It got real mushy and, with the engine at idle, the nose eventually dropped, but there seemed to be no tendency for either wing to drop; the ailerons maintained enough authority to keep the wings level, even at full stall. Recovery was absolutely normal, just as if I'd been recovering from an incipient stall. Now, I'm sure if one stalled it and then kicked in full rudder, it would dutifully spin, but as I said, intentional spins were not allowed.
+Meowy McNasty As long as you have a carpark at least 1620 ft long, you'll be able to go home again. *Takeoff* Ground Roll: 720 ft Over 50 ft obstacle: 1620 ft *Landing* Ground Roll 600 ft Over 50 ft obstacle: 1150 ft
Until you have gone through checks and need repair before meeting the standerd. Planes are like old cars, the can be cheap to buy, but they are expansive to fly.
I had a 1979 Archer II for about 6 years and loved it! I did not pinch butts. I didn’t have the energy because every 6 months I had to crawl under the plane and degrease the belly (tell the owner of that one it’s legal…don’t be afraid). Like to see you do more of these airplane reviews. Always enjoy your commentary. Come down here to Florida...we got a few planes you could check out....but wait until January or February....
I wanted to get my pilot's license when I retired, but by that time I was wearing hearing aids and still had to turn on "CC" to understand flight controllers in videos. The lesson here for you young guys is to do it now, and dont wait until your too old.
A Piper cub or a Cessna Birddog would be that. Or a C185 for instance, with tundra tires ofcourse. For when you look at an aiport and say: Fuck that, I want rocks and mud to land on.
Grumman is one of my all time favorite companies. They made some really solid planes that saw extensive use in WW2 and after, with some G21's still being used by small airlines in places like Alaska. They made the USPS mail truck that literally every American has seen for the last 4-5 decades, and is just now being phased out. They also made sport boats, canoes, and fire engines. Oh, and last but not least they also made the Apollo Lunar Module that put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon. Such a fascinating history for a manufacturing company.
You are my favorite channel on the 'tube. Really, you are a creative genius. The way you dive into the spirit of each vehicle, and bring it to us, is truly awesome.
I consider myself somewhat of a airplane enthusiast and also a fan of your car videos. I think your analogies are spot-on. I love these videos. good stuff bruh.
I did not expect this from RCR, and as an Aircraft Mechanic, was very well done! I hope to see more, and when you mentioned low wings being the equivalent of RWD in automotive made me spit my coffee because I was just talking about this the other day with a co-worker whose looking to buy a Cherokee.
Yeah, but even in the event of complete engine failure you aren't "totally screwed". Planes don't just fall out of the sky when their engines crap out. Hell, they make you practice deadstick (unpowered) landings in flight school.
Dear 'ole Cherokee, I learned to fly in one of these (base model 140 hp) many, many years ago (1975) and have had a soft spot for the old girl ever since. I have flown many much more powerful and sophisticated aircraft since, but like your first love you never forget that she was the first one to introduce you to the sky, alone, young and in love, thanks for the reminder of simpler times.
The back of your head is sweaty at 4:42 I can tell it was a hot, bumpy day up there. Next time, bring a bottle of water to sip on while you fly - it will help keep your stomach in check and you will feel a lot better replacing what the heat takes out of you.
RegularCars dang. Well, it sounds like you fought the good fight. I've taken Dramamine before a flight with my instructor where I knew he was going to put me through hell, training IFR wearing "foggles" so that all I could see were the instruments on the pannel - not outside at all. Florida is a lot like Georgia (hot). That little pill gave me a stomach made of iron with the calming effect of like, one beer. So maybe upgrade to drugs next time. 'Tis no shame!
We had a Cherokee at my school. Not airworthy, since it was a mechanic school and at that time our hangar wasn't even at an airfield. Still i thought that it was an awesome little beast, as said in the video it comes from a different era. Our had completely original interior and it reminded me of the cars in the sixties and i loved that. Also the basically same engine is in use in robinson r22 helicopter which i came familiar with during my training. I wish i could go to a flight in one of these.
Hey guys, I've watched pretty much all of your reviews. I am a private pilot, majoring in Commercial Aviation. This review was awesome, and as a pilot I can really appreciate it. In your other video when you said the 150 was the Chevy Cavalier, I said to myself "and the 172 would be the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic." Funny that you said the same in this! Keep doing what you're doing.
It's amazing how little small planes have changed aesthetically in the last 50-60 years. I used to drive past the airport everyday on the way to school and often the only way to tell apart two planes of different ages was by the tail number. C-FAAA is a new(ish) plane while CF-AAA is a vintage plane. They looked identical from the road 50 feet away but could have been built decades apart.
Great plane. What's nice about the Archer is that 180hp Lycoming. It feels agricultural compared to a Continental, but it's a tougher engine and the oil pan heats the air intake (no carb ice). OTOH, Pipers (low wings) have fuel pumps...
I liked your car to airplane analogy, although I've got my own car to airplane analogy. An automatic transmission is to a tricycle landing gear what a stick shift is to a taildragger.
does that make me prop striking the citabria the first time I tried to land it the equivalent of mustang guys crashing while driving out of the dealership?
I cannot belive this, 5 years after seeing this video, I have started doing my PPL, and this is the aircraft I ended up choosing to learn on, completely forgetting about your video on it.
I remember watching you guys years ago when you guys were barely starting off. I’m currently in flight school training in a PA-28 and see your channel again and your reviewing planes now wtf 😂 IMPRESSIVE
I can't believe I just saw this after watching you for over 2 years. I live like 5 minutes from that airport! Barrow County Airport, or Northeast Georgia Regional. There sure are a pile of good people there, and good food around too.
Lots of small GA airports have the same feeling, this was quite a surprise to see, but glad you got in a PA-28 (they fly so much better than a 152/172)!
No its not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. If it was Matt Farah's million mile Lexus, the title would say Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. A review on Matt Farah's million mile Lexus would be cool, seeing as Matt Farah's million mile Lexus has a million miles.
The Lycomings also have the carburetor on the bottom of the engine, and the carb heat runs off the exhaust. So if the engine shuts down due to carb icing, you also lose carb heat very quickly too. And the reason they put two plugs on there is in case one fails, the other one will keep the engine running. Same thing with the magneto. Doesn't need batteries or an external alternator to keep the plugs firing.
+draggonhedd Model Year is a little less important in planes, unlike cars they will produce the same airplane for years with small modifications to update avionics. In fact the Piper Archer is only on its 4th update.
+Dakoda Neilson You an instructor? (Comfortable in right seat.) The '64 is a bit shorter -- little bit more rear seat footroom on yours. Nice panel, too.
+baker2niner Right. Piper didn't add the 3rd window until '68. I've got a few hundred hours flying and instructing in PA-28s of all types. Great trainer.
I miss flying. Neighbors used to have a home built RV-6. The event they had going on could have been a fly in or a Young Eagles event where they would give kids their first ride in an Airplane for free.
I guess i've never noticed. Although, I feel as though if he isn't gonna swear, he should leave cuss words out of the script all together. The censorship breaks the flow of the commentary. Just my 2 cents.
Good ol Winder (KWDR). Did most of my flying out of AHN right down the road. Thought I recognized that airport from the OV-1 Mohawk sitting on the ramp. The Zaxbys hanger confirmed it!
It's too bad a lot of people can't experience general aviation. The U.S. federal government has made it incredibly expensive to become a private pilot. $5K-$8K just to get a basic private pilot's license. And, airplane ownership - it's another very expensive sport. If the federal government had it their way, they would get rid of all general aviation programs...
The federal govt has a lot more regulations related to automobiles than general aviation and it's dirt cheap to drive. So I don't think it's a regulation problem. More likely it's a "you want to fly for fun, you must have a lot of money" tax imposed by the industry. Also there is no good reason why newer GA planes that are almost identical to decades old designs should approach or exceed 1/4 of a million dollars.
+situationmoney There's lots of ways around it, though. Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft are a couple. LSA is really neat because most of the old rag wings like Cub, Ercoupe, and Champ fit into LSA rules. For less than a new pickup truck, you can have your certificate and your own plane... and the best part is... in a few decades the plane will still be worth what you paid for it.
+GMdrivingMOPARguy I agree. The airplane was out in texas for a long time and the paint is well less then great. Maybe one day new paint will be in the budget.
This was fun! I learned to fly in a PA-28 Cherokee at Tamiami Airport in Miami, FL. As you point out, this is slightly harder to fly than a Cessna high-wing plane, but there is just something sexy about that low-wing Piper design. The Piper is also more expensive to rent, but worth it if you want to impress the ladies.
It should be noted pretty much any plane can be outfitted for ifr and since these planes are given constant customization the weight and speed specs for the same model can vary a little also there are 140/160/180/235 hp base cherokees with the hershey bar wings. The Hershey bar wings pick up off the ground a little faster and turn faster than tapered wings but tapered wings are more stable
Totally cool to see a plane review! I am a student pilot right now and am also super into cars so this was really cool to see. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
Last summer, one of these planes crashed into a house in my neighborhood. I was swimming when I saw a small plane fly over as they do all the time where I live, but this one started spiraling downwards and producing black smoke and the engine revved up real high. Then a loud bang, so loud that it sorta had a shockwave, louder than I have ever heard. Luckily they were all in a different room but they lost a lot because the house caught on fire from the plane smashing into the house.
If I'm not mistaken that was an older archer which still had the older style "Hershey bar" wing like the Cherokee 140 / 150 / 160 & and 180 of that year all had. Tapered wing came along with the warrior and archer in the 70's.. no?

The back of your head is sweaty at 4:42 I can tell it was a hot, bumpy day up there. Next time, bring a bottle of water to sip on while you fly - it will help keep your stomach in check and you will feel a lot better replacing what the heat takes out of you.
+Chris Zinner Oh I drank about a gallon of water that day, and wanted more. Uuuuggggggg Georgia: Where you are thirsty all the time
RegularCars dang. Well, it sounds like you fought the good fight. I've taken Dramamine before a flight with my instructor where I knew he was going to put me through hell, training IFR wearing "foggles" so that all I could see were the instruments on the pannel - not outside at all. Florida is a lot like Georgia (hot). That little pill gave me a stomach made of iron with the calming effect of like, one beer. So maybe upgrade to drugs next time. 'Tis no shame!
+Chris Zinner Dramamine is NOT FAA approved. Remember that if you are acting PIC you may not take it.
Kasey D haven't flown in years - too expensive - but good to know. Cheers!
i was there during filming.
it was so hot that i ended up with heat exhaustion even with about 20gallons of water
We had a Cherokee at my school. Not airworthy, since it was a mechanic school and at that time our hangar wasn't even at an airfield. Still i thought that it was an awesome little beast, as said in the video it comes from a different era. Our had completely original interior and it reminded me of the cars in the sixties and i loved that. Also the basically same engine is in use in robinson r22 helicopter which i came familiar with during my training.
I wish i could go to a flight in one of these.
as a pilot im begging u to review more planes!
Hey guys, I've watched pretty much all of your reviews. I am a private pilot, majoring in Commercial Aviation. This review was awesome, and as a pilot I can really appreciate it. In your other video when you said the 150 was the Chevy Cavalier, I said to myself "and the 172 would be the Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic." Funny that you said the same in this! Keep doing what you're doing.
Not a car. Probably the most not a car we've had.
Also, quite a bit of Mr.Regular on camera, feels weird.
Regular Airplane Reviews should be another of your staples.
You guys ROCK ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Edit: That BOOTY @1:55
You should review more planes! Review that V tail Bonanza that I saw on the vídeo!
It's amazing how little small planes have changed aesthetically in the last 50-60 years. I used to drive past the airport everyday on the way to school and often the only way to tell apart two planes of different ages was by the tail number. C-FAAA is a new(ish) plane while CF-AAA is a vintage plane. They looked identical from the road 50 feet away but could have been built decades apart.
What's next??? Boats, jet skis, bicycles, helicopters, go carts...
+Ramon B lawn mowers, trains, hover crafts.
+alexander1485 he already did a lawnmower.
+Ramon B Mr Regular should do a series of public transport reviews.
Regular Bicycle Reviews
+Ramon B Regular Shopping Cart Reviews
Great plane. What's nice about the Archer is that 180hp Lycoming. It feels agricultural compared to a Continental, but it's a tougher engine and the oil pan heats the air intake (no carb ice). OTOH, Pipers (low wings) have fuel pumps...
I liked your car to airplane analogy, although I've got my own car to airplane analogy. An automatic transmission is to a tricycle landing gear what a stick shift is to a taildragger.
does that make me prop striking the citabria the first time I tried to land it the equivalent of mustang guys crashing while driving out of the dealership?
@sofielee4122
No.. that’s just dinging a rim.
Ground loop is the Crowd Killer.
As an aviation student at UND and a car guy as well this video just merged two worlds I never thought would merge
wait, holy shit, face reveal??!! what?? What is this sorcery lmao?! xP
+Charles Satterthwaite At the end. You can tell it's him because of the helmet cam, and he's skinny as fuck
+Robert Rowley Runner's build, son. Weight reduction, bro.
+Kyle Morgese Face reveal? that's an ass reveal
Wow. first cr1tikal, now mr regular?
+Charles Satterthwaite probably a 19 or 20 bmi.
thats not a car!
thats not a car at all!
That Learn To Fly cover just made my life complete
We need regular plane reviews.
I cannot belive this, 5 years after seeing this video, I have started doing my PPL, and this is the aircraft I ended up choosing to learn on, completely forgetting about your video on it.
regular boat reviews when
5:03 Went to school for aviation... my ground instructor's first name was Ron. Now I know that you know your stuff! Instant like and sub!
There are Piper Cubs there...
I SWEAR TO GOD MR. REGULAR IF YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING ON A CUB I'LL BE VERY DISAPPOINTED!
+lotto77102 The Cubs where there from a dealer I want to say they are legend Cubs.
+lotto77102 Or at-least a Citabria.
Piper cub, the jeep of the sky
+MeDuzZ- Citabria is my Bae, just soloed one.
+Dakoda Neilson Looked like Carbon Cubs to me, but I could very well be wrong
As a plane enthusiast as well as a car enthusiast, this was awesome. I hope you get a chance to do more of these!
Regular Plane Reviews
I remember watching you guys years ago when you guys were barely starting off. I’m currently in flight school training in a PA-28 and see your channel again and your reviewing planes now wtf 😂 IMPRESSIVE
Isn't push propeller rwd of the sky?
+kinger2005 push prop is the mid-engined config of the sky.
+TheLaXandro Whats rear-engine config of the sky? These are the important questions.
+TheLaXandro What about the Bell P-39? Front propeller like most aircraft, but the engine was mounted directly behind the pilot.
Guess there isn't a direct translation anyway
+kinger2005 What about pusher puller? Like the Skymaster? Is that like that ridiculous twin engined Audi they had on Top Gear?
I can't believe I just saw this after watching you for over 2 years. I live like 5 minutes from that airport! Barrow County Airport, or Northeast Georgia Regional.
There sure are a pile of good people there, and good food around too.
Season finale huh?
Does this mean you're finally coming up to the North East?
Saab Sonett Broh is waiting..
+Amesie's Automotive Corner pacific fister footage is next, vagabond falcon northeastern trip comes next year when the vagabond falcon is done.
Lots of small GA airports have the same feeling, this was quite a surprise to see, but glad you got in a PA-28 (they fly so much better than a 152/172)!
Is this Matt Farah's million mile Lexus?
+joi2326 no it's not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus
+Filia Medici Samson but It looks exactly like Matt Farah's million mile Lexus though.
No its not Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. If it was Matt Farah's million mile Lexus, the title would say Matt Farah's million mile Lexus. A review on Matt Farah's million mile Lexus would be cool, seeing as Matt Farah's million mile Lexus has a million miles.
Rick Sanchez There is one. This is an inside joke for the channel's viewers and you've failed to understand it.
Kyle Clement Damnit.
The Lycomings also have the carburetor on the bottom of the engine, and the carb heat runs off the exhaust. So if the engine shuts down due to carb icing, you also lose carb heat very quickly too.
And the reason they put two plugs on there is in case one fails, the other one will keep the engine running. Same thing with the magneto. Doesn't need batteries or an external alternator to keep the plugs firing.
Registration number N32115 is a 1974 model year, not a 1964
+draggonhedd hes not exactly smart.... or hes bad researching.
+draggonhedd It also doesn't have a tapered wing... just go with it.
+draggonhedd Model Year is a little less important in planes, unlike cars they will produce the same airplane for years with small modifications to update avionics. In fact the Piper Archer is only on its 4th update.
+Dakoda Neilson You an instructor? (Comfortable in right seat.)
The '64 is a bit shorter -- little bit more rear seat footroom on yours. Nice panel, too.
+baker2niner Right. Piper didn't add the 3rd window until '68. I've got a few hundred hours flying and instructing in PA-28s of all types. Great trainer.
I miss flying. Neighbors used to have a home built RV-6. The event they had going on could have been a fly in or a Young Eagles event where they would give kids their first ride in an Airplane for free.
JOHN MEATWALLET
Wings of Fury on the original floppy disk! Man, that was greatness! 🛩
7:47 length... coincidence I think not
The Boing 747 is the Sexiest plane ever built.
Boeing.
+Dock Ness Thanks, it was very early morning when I typed that bad then.
Cars n' Bikes I'm afread that goes to the Concord, not to the 747
As a car fan, and certified flight instructor. Thank you. Thank you so much.
so suddenly cussing on RCR is censored?
+ModernDinosaur He never curses. He's vulgar, but never swears. Look back at old videos. He never says shit or fuck. He's made a point of it.
I guess i've never noticed. Although, I feel as though if he isn't gonna swear, he should leave cuss words out of the script all together. The censorship breaks the flow of the commentary. Just my 2 cents.
+ModernDinosaur the last song involves fisting, we haven''t lost anything.
+Eli Jonas He's said shit a few times. Check the Toyota Rav-4 and Subaru WRX reviews
Good ol Winder (KWDR). Did most of my flying out of AHN right down the road. Thought I recognized that airport from the OV-1 Mohawk sitting on the ramp. The Zaxbys hanger confirmed it!
Ironically the video length is 7:47 too lol. Great video Mr. Regular. I love your channel
It's too bad a lot of people can't experience general aviation. The U.S. federal government has made it incredibly expensive to become a private pilot. $5K-$8K just to get a basic private pilot's license. And, airplane ownership - it's another very expensive sport. If the federal government had it their way, they would get rid of all general aviation programs...
The federal govt has a lot more regulations related to automobiles than general aviation and it's dirt cheap to drive. So I don't think it's a regulation problem. More likely it's a "you want to fly for fun, you must have a lot of money" tax imposed by the industry. Also there is no good reason why newer GA planes that are almost identical to decades old designs should approach or exceed 1/4 of a million dollars.
+situationmoney There's lots of ways around it, though. Ultralight and Light Sport Aircraft are a couple. LSA is really neat because most of the old rag wings like Cub, Ercoupe, and Champ fit into LSA rules. For less than a new pickup truck, you can have your certificate and your own plane... and the best part is... in a few decades the plane will still be worth what you paid for it.
Hey! I've actually gotten to fly one of these before! This was a pleasant surprise.
As an aircraft maintainer, the paint missing from the leading edges drives me absolutely bonkers. Must... Apply... Fresh Topcoat
+GMdrivingMOPARguy I agree. The airplane was out in texas for a long time and the paint is well less then great. Maybe one day new paint will be in the budget.
Fantastic. Had not seen RCR clips in a long time... missed this one.
NOT A CARRRRRRRR.....
This was fun! I learned to fly in a PA-28 Cherokee at Tamiami Airport in Miami, FL. As you point out, this is slightly harder to fly than a Cessna high-wing plane, but there is just something sexy about that low-wing Piper design. The Piper is also more expensive to rent, but worth it if you want to impress the ladies.
Hey its an Alfa Twin Spark
4 cylinders and 2 spark plugs per cylinder
Cory Brayshaw naaaah, the plane engines have 2 plugs for redundancy, meanwhile the aflas had them to help with leaning the air fuel mix
Ah! I totally wanted to get in on a "Regular Plane Review" with you guys in a 172. Looks like somebody beat me to it! Nice episode!
IFR - I Follow Railroads...........
It should be noted pretty much any plane can be outfitted for ifr and since these planes are given constant customization the weight and speed specs for the same model can vary a little also there are 140/160/180/235 hp base cherokees with the hershey bar wings. The Hershey bar wings pick up off the ground a little faster and turn faster than tapered wings but tapered wings are more stable
Also most 140hp cherokees can handle 500 ibs after fuel
this car is best car because not a car
Totally cool to see a plane review! I am a student pilot right now and am also super into cars so this was really cool to see. Love your channel, keep up the great work.
"Georgia has good people who are morally just on a ground level." THE FUCK IS THIS. i watch your videos to be offended
Been watching the car vids forever, but as a commercial pilot i really enjoyed seeing the little cherokee on here, you gotta do one on the arrow now!
Unsubscribed, disliked, reported; not car.
Great end to the season. Thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.
Would definitely love to see more of these! Awesome video Mr.Regular!
Never thought Regular Plane Reviews would be a thing.
Last summer, one of these planes crashed into a house in my neighborhood. I was swimming when I saw a small plane fly over as they do all the time where I live, but this one started spiraling downwards and producing black smoke and the engine revved up real high. Then a loud bang, so loud that it sorta had a shockwave, louder than I have ever heard. Luckily they were all in a different room but they lost a lot because the house caught on fire from the plane smashing into the house.
If I'm not mistaken that was an older archer which still had the older style "Hershey bar" wing like the Cherokee 140 / 150 / 160 & and 180 of that year all had. Tapered wing came along with the warrior and archer in the 70's.. no?
