This model is based on the late 1960's version of the Cherokee 6-300. The model is not intended to be an exact replica of the Piper Cherokee Six, although I did try to do the best I could within my ability.
About this model:
First of all.......this model is not perfect. I created it with low to mid end users in mind, so the aircraft is not "incredibly detailed", although it does present a very nice model within the sim. You may find a few flaws here and there.
About the Panel:
This panel was created using an actual photo from a cherokee. I have placed some gauges in "non-realistic" locations for use within the sim.
About the Flight Dynamics:
I tried to get the flight dynamics as close as possible on this aircraft. Certainly, there are flaws, but for the most part, I believe the aircraft fly's much like a real Cherokee Six. One thing the I had trouble with is lightness in the nose, so at times the aircraft may require quite a bit of trim. The other thing, is that in it's empty configuration, the aircraft has a very hard time getting a stall warning. The nose will go down before the horn blows, however, when you load the aircraft up, the plane seems to stall as I beleive is normal.
ENJOY!
INSTALL:
extract to your FS2004 folder, and the files should be created right where they need to go.
All gauges are default, except for the a few gauges I have found here and there......I am sorry but I have no documents to the creaters of those gauges, but if you are one of the gauge designers, I give you all the credit you deserve.

The wings of this aircraft were created by Rien Cornelissen from one of his Piper Aircraft, and the textures for the wings are also modified from his. Also, the left and right landing gear parts are modeled from parts that Rien did, although textures are mine.
The pilot figure is that of Dave Eckerts, with a few mods by me.
The prop and seats are by Brian Gladden I believe.
