I didn't think so.

The Warriors I flew ('78,'78, & '79) were newer than your Archer, which
might be the reason for the horn.

My 76 Warrior has a horn.

VERY difficult to stall tho..

Wle instaled Art Mattisons VGs and gap seals and we can fly around
easily with the horn blowing. (They lowered our stall speed by about 4
- 5 knts)

At lighter loads, we don't even have a departure stall. It just flies
along with the VSI steady, full power, 15 deg of bank and the yoke
full back.

Almost temped to rewrite the POH...

What? You have a stall warning that you can actually hear? Be
thankful!

Earlier Pipers I've flown (e.g. Comanche 260B) had a light; other
aircraft didn't even have a stall warning.
