Piper PA-32R-301 Saratoga SP

The Piper PA-32R-301, also known as the Saratoga SP, is a versatile light aircraft that is well-regarded for its performance and comfort. Introduced in the 1970s, this six-seat, low-wing plane is powered by a Lycoming IO-540-U4B5 engine, which provides a maximum takeoff power of 160 horsepower. The aircraft is designed for both novice and experienced pilots, featuring stable flight characteristics and a user-friendly cockpit layout. Its spacious cabin allows for comfortable travel, making it suitable for family flying or business trips. With a cruising speed of around 160 knots and a range of approximately 800 nautical miles, the PA-32R-301 is capable of covering significant distances at a reasonable pace.

In addition to its performance features, the Piper PA-32R-301 is known for its reliability and relatively easy maintenance. The aircraft's robust design includes a metal structure and a fixed landing gear, which simplifies inspections and upkeep compared to retractable gear models. The PA-32R-301 is often used in various aviation roles, including personal flying, flight training, and even air taxi services. Its combination of practicality, comfort, and performance has made it a popular choice among general aviation enthusiasts and continues to hold a place in the hearts of many pilots even decades after its introduction.

This Piper PA-32R-301 Saratoga was forced to land in a field that was recently harvested, causing it to hit some tree stumps along the way. The interior and most of the aircraft is in good shape and we will recover a long list of Saratoga parts from this disassembly, such as...

Cessna 182Q Skylane

The Cessna 182Q is a notable variant of the Cessna 182 Skylane family, widely recognized for its blend of performance, reliability, and versatility. First introduced in 1978, the 182Q features a robust 230-horsepower engine, which provides ample power for various flight operations, including personal travel, flight training, and aerial photography. Like other models in the Cessna 182 lineup, it is equipped with a high-wing design that contributes to excellent visibility and stability in flight. The spacious cabin can comfortably accommodate up to four passengers, making it an ideal choice for families or small groups.

One of the distinguishing features of the 182Q is its advanced avionics and instrument panel, which significantly improved pilot interface and navigation capabilities. The design includes a more spacious cockpit with better visibility and easier access to controls, enhancing the overall flying experience. The Cessna 182Q retains the legendary reliability that Cessna aircraft are known for, backed by a strong community of owners and pilots who appreciate its performance in a variety of flying conditions. This versatile aircraft remains a popular choice among general aviation enthusiasts, owing to its strong performance characteristics and proven track record in both recreational and professional aviation contexts.
