1978 PIPER ARCHER II AIRFRAME, MINIMAL DAMAGE, NO LOGBOOKS, CHEAP!
THE ARCHER IS ONE OF THE BEST ALL-AROUND GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT MADE, BY ANY MANUFACTURER!
WITH COMFORT FOR 4 REAL PEOPLE AND BAGGAGE, ENOUGH POWER FOR DECENT CRUISE SPEED, GOOD CLIMB RATE AND USEFUL LOAD, THE ARCHER’S SPECS STACK UP WELL.
WHAT DOESN’T SHOW IN A TABLE IS HOW EASY THE AIRCRAFT IS TO FLY AND OWN!
A GREAT INTERIOR LAYOUT, WITH 4 INDIVIDUAL BUCKET SEATS, WITH EXTRA LEGROOM IN BACK!
LARGE CABIN DOOR FOR EASY ENTRY, EVEN IN THE BACK!
GREAT DASH LAYOUT, WITH DUAL RADIO STACKS, CLEAN 6 PACK FOR INSTRUMENTS PLUS 3 MORE HOLES, AND A THROTTLE QUADRANT SECOND TO NONE!!
DUAL TOE BRAKES
RAM’S HORN CONTROL WHEELS
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT THE OWNER OF AN OLDER CHEROKEE WISHES WERE BETTER ON THEIR AIRPLANE, WERE FIXED ON THE ARCHER!!
THE TAPER WING IS MUCH MORE FORGIVING ON FLARE, MAKING EVERYONE LOOK LIKE A LANDING ACE! AND THE WING ADDS TO THE CRUISE SPEED, WITHOUT NEEDING ADDITIONAL HORSEPOWER, A WIN=WIN!!
THIS AIRCRAFT HAS SLIGHT DAMAGE FROM EXPOSURE TO A HURRICANE WHILE TIED DOWN.
THE HURRICANE DID NOT OCCUR THIS LAST SEASON HOWEVER.
THIS AIRPLANE WAS IN A HANGER WHEN THE WINDS HIT, AND THE HANGER WAS DAMAGED. MANY AIRPLANES WERE TRAPPED IN THE REMAINS OF THE HANGER, AND A LEGAL BATTLE OVER WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AIRPLANES WHILE THE DAMAGED HANGER WAS REMOVED ENSUED, SO THIS AIRPLANE WAS SITTING FOR 2 YEARS!
DURING THE HURRICANE ITSELF, THE MAINTENANCE SHOP AREA WAS SUBJECTED TO HIGH WINDS, AND THE LOGBOOKS FOR THIS AIRPLANE WERE LOST.
THIS AIRFRAME IS SOLD WITHOUT THE LOGBOOKS!!
BUT NOT ALL OF THE PAPERWORK IS MISSING!
THE ALL-IMPORTANT AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE IS INCLUDED!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT, NOT A COPY, DATED 3/3/1978!
WE ALSO HAVE A SIGNED FAA BILL OF SALE, SO THE AIRPLANE AND N NUMBER CAN BE TRANSFERRED AND REGISTERED TO YOU!
THE AIRFRAME ITSELF HAS VERY LITTLE DAMAGE!!
THE RIGHT WING HAS A DENT ON THE OUTBOARD LEADING EDGE SKIN AND SOME LIGHT SCRAPING TO THE LOWER OUTBOARD SKINS.
NO SPAR DAMAGE!
EVEN THE WINGTIP ITSELF LOOKS OK!
THE RIGHT AILERON IS WRINKLED AT THE OUTBOARD END AND SCRAPED SOME UNDERNEATH.
NO DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FLAP
THE LEFT WING, FLAP, AILERON AND TIP ARE UNDAMAGED!
NO DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL FIN, RUDDER OR STABILATOR!
THE MAIN LANDING GEAR AND NOSEGEAR ASSEMBLIES ARE ALL UNDAMAGED!
NO DAMAGE TO THE UPPER OR LOWER COWLINGS.
NO DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE FUSELAGE!!!!!!
NO FIREWALL OR ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE!
THE ENGINE WITH ACCESSORIES AND PROP WERE REMOVED AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION.
0-360 180 H.P. ENGINES FROM CHEROKEES WOULD BE THE EASIEST TO REINSTALL, BUT OTHER CHOICES ARE IN THE MARKETPLACE AS WELL!
ALL CABLES WERE UNBOLTED, NOT CUT, AND THERE ARE HOSES AND ELECTRICAL INTACT AS WELL!
THE OIL COOLER AND DUCT ARE STILL INSTALLED AND THE AIRBOX IS INCLUDED AS WELL!
ALL 4 LORD MOUNTS ARE INSTALLED ON THE UNDAMAGED ENGINE MOUNT.
ALTHOUGH THE PAINT IS OLDER (MAYBE ORIGINAL?) THE AIRPLANE DOES NOT HAVE A CORROSION ISSUE, AND THE PAINT IS ALL ADHERING WELL.
THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN UPDATED, WITH NEWER, NICER CLOTH SEATS WITH MATCHING SIDE PANELS.
BOTH FRONT BUCKETS HAVE THE OPTIONAL AND DESIREABE VERTICALLY ADJUSTING FEATURE!!
THE DASH IS COMPLETE WITH ALL MODERN FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTS, INCLUDING SOME NICE EXTRAS!
STEC 60 AUTOPILOT SYSTEM GIVES WING LEVELOR AND RADIO COUPLING, AND THE INCLUDED STEC D.G. PROVIDES HEADING TRACKING!
DIGITAL TACH!
DIGITAL OAT GUAGE.
WINGTIP STROBES
LED LANDING LIGHT

THESE UNITS ARE INCLUDED, AND THERE ARE ALSO TRAYS INSTALLED AND WIRED FOR 2 KING KX-170B STYLE NAV-COMMS (PANEL UNITS NOT INCLUDED FOR THESE 2).
THIS IS THE WHOLE AIRFRAME, NOT JUST PARTS OF IT, AND WITH VERY MINIMAL DAMAGE!
