Im teaching students in a 1965 pa28-160. I have a thousand hours in 172 and about 80 in this PA28.
Is it just me, or does hershey-bar wing cherokees require alot of AOA to maintain altitude at 80mph. Students complain about not being able to see forward. And I admit, it does seem excessive compared to 172s.
My initial thought is that the wing is bolted on at the wrong incident, but thats impossible.
