Thanks, George, for the detailed information on this. One question I have;
what is the fuel burn difference between the models/years?

Clarke doesn't have fuel burn figures, but consumption is usually about 0.055 gallons
per horsepower.

The old PA28-180, Hershey bar wing Cherokee 180 burns between 8 and 10
GPH, depending on how hard you push it.

It may have been physiological, but it seemed like the difference
between the 180s and the er... lesser models was like night and day.
You can tell I prefer the 180:-))

It was a great short field plane and to me all of the Cherokees ride
the bumps much better than the Cessnas of the same size.
