How is this comment posted a week ago, but the video is 3 days old?
Also, I just passed my PPL checkride and watching your videos has definitely kept flying fun for me.
@@Starburst8231 great to hear! Thanks for watching.. The videos are made available for channel members before the rest. Thatâs one of their perks for being members.

The Cherokee 180 is a fabulous bird! A friend and myself just purchased a 1963 Cherokee 180-B a few weeks ago. 4400 TT, 740 on Lycoming factory overhaul. Iâve done most of my time building, instrument, & commercial single in one. I dropped the 172, & high wing in general, just after my private checkride, and never looked back! Even did comm multi in a Seminole. Love the Piper line-up!
I've had my 180 Challenger for almost 2 months. LOVE IT!!! Weather hasn't cooperated so I'm still pre-solo. Love your videos! And yes, my CFI listens to your prop clear call every time I start her up.
Haha the only way to do it!
That's an amazing looking Piper PA-28-180!!
An unfamiliar plane and flying with the owner you are so calm and relaxed. Great job Lewis, you make it look so easy.
Thanks man!
My flight school has both 140s and 180s. I've been endorsed to Solo in both. Although it's back to the 140 for me since that's what's used the most for check rides. I'd take the 180 any day though.
I was just thinking "I wonder when we'll get another lewdix video when I opened my feed and saw this posted. Fun video, and I love the change of environment where you don't have as much confidence and we can see the humility a bit.
If I ever start thinking Iâm the best pilot in the world, the reality will be that I am quite possibly one of the worst because thatâs a terrible attitude to have haha. Got to stay humble!
Wow this is interesting, my flight school has both the 180s and 140s. But this 180 is designed like all of our 140s, the 2 side windows, lollipop throttle, even the trim. They are all like our 140s. Our 180s have T-Throttles a trim wheel and 3 side windows
When turning the trim crank, envision the crank handle hits the left seaterâs head. If you hit the back of their head, their nose will go down. If you hit their forehead, the nose rises.
That only works depending on what seat you are in
@@cpy thatâs why I said the left seaterâs head.
Thanks. I find that helpful.
Feels like an awful design from the beginning if such reminders are needed. Even if it's in the early planes I can't understand why the engineers were happy with the solution.
Itâs the same as used on the Comanche line before. It becomes second nature after one flight. It may be inconvenient to reach up constantly, but it has an advantage over the later pa28 trim wheel in that you donât have to cram you hand down between the seats especially if your passenger is someone whose thigh you donât want to rub. Either system is easy. The design I donât like is the vertical metal wheel overhead waiting to split your forehead.
When I was learning to fly, the first aircraft I flew was an ancient Cherokee 140 with the overhead 'hand-jive' 'window winder' trimmer. I hated it - for about an hour. Superb video.
Great video!! Well done Lewis!!
I owned a 180 for 25 years. Flew it all over the country and once to Monterrey Mexico. Loved that plan.
I learned on a 62 Cherokee 180. I loved those bowtie yokes. I have a Skylane now, but I do really miss those yokes and the trim handle (although the trim wheel is a bit more intuitive, I always had to stop and think which way to spin the trim on the cherokee)
Nicely refurbished PA28
That's a sweetly set up 180! #dreamplane Lew, gonna have to gig you for inconsistent disco trim music on short finalđ€Ł That and 'Sky Daddy' are some of the best recent adds to the channel. Brilliant! Cheers.
đ haha thanks brother!
You are correct about landing with a small bit of power in the 180, makes a much smoother landing.
I'm a partner on a PA-28-180, so I'm a little biased, but, nice plane! :-) Wish mine had the G5's and the autopilot, though. Sweet.
Another great video, Lew! And adding the disco to the trimming...Hilarious đ
You have a bloody funny sense of humour mate, I'm subbing!
(but I can't learn flying here w/o engine noise)
Haha thanks! Welcome!
Excellent. Whst a nice guy he is.
Nicely equipped 180 only needs a new set of torque links and some control yolks, both have A Ds against them.
Wow what an awesome aircraft you have got.
One day you should try out Jabiru too.
These videos never fail to make me laugh. I swear conversations in a little airplane are always funnier then if they were on the ground
LEWDIX!!!! Thank you for the content as usual, stuck in lockdown in Aus watching you fly while I canât and making me laugh just makes it that little bit easier so thank you. Wish I could go flying again :(
should have gone for the electric Ptrim option :D
Excellent video. We call that the 'rodeo' trim at our school.
Seems like you should be able to return to the field below 1000 ft agl. 1000 ft agl is pattern altitude and quite high. From 800 I would say you could probably make the 180 to 200° turn back to the airport. You should do a video on this
Loving your video's man, epic content mate
Cheers mate!
I wonder if a trim switch can be added to the yoke like I have in my 1971 Cherokee Arrow 200?
the GFC 500 with Dual G 5's Combo is freakin FANTASTIC
Mate I would appreciate it so much if youâd do a video over communication with tower. From ground to tower to departure and approach. Iâm in my second stage of my flight lessons I have about a month before my private pilot stage check and I still struggle very much with comms. For some reason I struggle so much with it.
It's so nice to see I'm not the only one that screws up that trim!
That is a super nicely equipped 180!
Yooo Mr. LewDix question for ya. Your instruction is great, videos are entertaining, but do you have any plans to pursue the airlines or corporate? Or do you love instructing and want to do that long term? Just curious hope all is well!
Thanks man.. So I was at an airline for about 18 months or so until the pandemic got me furloughed. I just never went back because I do better financially doing what I do now. I miss it at times and might pursue it again in future but much prefer my quality of outside of any airline.
Goed gedaan jochie!
Whatâs that bird run? Nicely outfitted
That Cherokee is tidy....pimped up! Does that Cherokee have toe brakes? I'd heard that they want a bit of power in the flare..
Yea it's got toe brakes both sides thankfully. I don't know who at Piper signed off on some models not having them both sides but they should have had an immediate job evaluation haha.
Laughed my ass off at the disco trim. haha
Was doing touch and go's in a 140 years ago and the overhead trim cable snapped when I adjusted it...
shit, but you were able to land it though?
2 CFI's upfront - what could be the outcome?
Great video.
Lew , where you at my boy???
Which past video is Jonathan referring to about making the power-off landing on 31 after taking off from 7, or something like that?
czcams.com/video/9VvRDqXfk2Y/video.html
Gonna be flying that 1 now
Can someone link that video he was talking about at the end ? I really want to see it. Great video Lewdix !
czcams.com/video/9VvRDqXfk2Y/video.html
Starts at around the 14 minute mark
czcams.com/video/Jaiz5I7BB9c/video.html
Starts at around the 15 minute mark
Well Lew welcome to my world of going from a trim wheel down the centre to a trim handle over head lol.
I have already bought my platform shoes and flare corduroys đșđŒ
@@LewDixAviation at least youâll fit right in out on the tiles in Manchester and you can pop the shapes.. big fish little fish card board box⊠trim up trim down :) donât worry about the stares on the flight line they just donât know the trim dance
Lewis, any intention of coming to fly in Canada? I'm sure there's content to be had here đ
Iâd love to go up to Canada!
Sweet Cherokee!
Lemme know when you wana come back to your old stomping grounds and fly my Beechcraft Sierra:) Is this guy a airline pilot or just another guy in it for the fun?
I fly Corporate Jets for a living, but still enjoy the GA/Piston side of aviation too!
That royalty free music intro is almost nostalgic at this point
It looked like you're going to valet park the plane
love the discomoves đđđđ
đșđŒ
Hardly a tongue twister. I recently flew N5595F now THATâS a tongue twister!
Amazing video
Disco music did it for međđđ
That made me want to fly again...where's that pipe? haha
I have 7785N
What speeds are you flying in the pattern?
I do 80, 75, 65
So who was doing the checkout on this flight? đ
The student was checking out the instructor đ€
đ
I thought the 180 was the Archer?!
The 180 predates the Archer. In the 60âs we had the 140/160/180 and now we have Warrior (161) and Archer (181). I believe this 180 is a 1963.
@@ZeroThreeDelta thanks for the details. I m a bit lost in the Piper models history tbh! Wonderful bird tho, I like the revamped cockpit.
@@StefBelgium Yeah, it looks pretty sharp!
why was it leaking fuel when taxiing onto the Runway? (yeah yeah, most likely water.. but it was still PISSING OUT).
FYI, you cannot get comped for the flight, if you keep telling him its a great plane and it flies great, and you like it alot.. etc... sheesh man..
i am flying the arrow tomorrow. 2nd flight for my complex rating!
It was because the tanks were full, I donât think Iâve seen it piss out that much but still, thatâs why it was doing it
I thought if you get a check ride/conversion that you take the pilots seat mate ??? (left)
Well, itâs not actually a checkride. Itâs for insurance purposes. Even though I have many hours in this type, the owner hasnât seen me fly it other than in videos. Sitting right or left doesnât really make a difference to me as Iâm comfortable both sides. Iâll be instructing in it which will mean sitting on the right đ€·đŒââïž
@@LewDixAviation Cheers for the explanation mate, if you ever near Denham UK come join me in my 152 đŹđ§đ
although mine has wheel trim in center and lever throttles
Only fans - Two guys, one ball.
What is the point of Checkouts? Is it an insurance requirement for the owner of the Aircraft. Because to be honest it feels like just money scam, for an example our school rents out the planes. After we pass we have to be checked out by the company even though it is the same planes, and with you here. Lkke you even said with 3000 hours, if you couldn't fly the plane then something else is more wrong.
That sounds like a typical flight school doing what flight schools do: milk people for money. In my situation itâs an insurance requirement because I had never touched this particular plane before.
2nd
First ;)
MY FAVORITE PLANE. Piper PA28-180 is what I fly. they put the WINGS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
Yes!
