New (old) bird

I remember flying a -6 in the 1990s.. I also remember the magic number in
the traffic pattern was 90..
you get it too slow and you will be behind the power curve.
you think it's heavy.. wait until you load it.. granted.. two pax in the way
back seats make the flare a little easier..
is it a 260HP or 300HP

Well my partners & I are officially broke, again. We picked up our 1966
Cherokee Six today. I got my checkout & gave 1 partner the beginning of
his.
Compared to our 180, it's huge!

In a couple weeks we upgrade the panel.



One thing that amazes me is the power off sink rate. In the 180, you'd
lose
about 500-600 feet in a 210 degree turn back to a runway (learning this
number from practice up at altitude). Today we tried it and the Six lost
1000 feet easy. Heavy thing.
