Does the Robotow fit?

Confirm with us: the Piper Warrior, Archer and Dakota.

Confirm with us.

Confirm with us. We have not confirmed the Piper Warrior, Archer or Dakota yet. With a pant on the nose wheel, the Robotow does not fit, because the drum has to touch the tire. Send two photos of your nose gear, front and side at axle height, tell us whether the pant comes off, and we will tell you straight.

Why

The Warrior, Archer and Dakota are close relatives of the Cherokee, and the Cherokee fits with the Piper 2 adapter. We have not confirmed that adapter on these three yet. It is the one we would check first.

The nose pant is the big question. With a pant on the nose wheel, the drum cannot touch the tire, so the Robotow does not fit. With the pant off, it may.

What to photograph

The nose gear with the pant off, straight on from the front.
Then from the side, at axle height.
Tell us whether your pant comes off, and whether you fly with it off.
Tell us the model and year: Warrior, Archer, Archer II or III, Dakota or Cadet.

What to do instead

Start with the nose pant. Read how wheel pants work with the Robotow, then send photos from the contact page, or call 419-331-0371.

If you also fly a Cherokee, Colt, Tomahawk or Tri-Pacer, the Piper 2 page shows the fit. The Arrow is a separate answer: it does not fit.

Questions pilots ask

Does the Robotow fit a Piper Archer with wheel pants?

Not with the nose pant on. The drum has to touch the nose tire. With the nose pant off, send photos and we will check the Piper 2 adapter against your airplane.
