The Piper Archer CX is a low wing, single engine semi-fictional civilian aircraft based off of the Piper Cherokee airframe.
Variants
The CX is a fictional variant of the Piper Archer TX/LX series; while both the Archer TX and LX have glass cockpits, the CX (C for conventional cockpit) uses old-style analog gauges similar to the ones used in the Piper Archer II/III aircraft.
Status
The exterior model is complete but needs to be textured; the interior is highly detailed, with most of the major instruments in place. The FDM is a tweaked Aeromatic FDM that feels like the PA28-161 in FlightGear, but it has not been tested with regards to the real life Piper Archer TX.
There are no textures on most surfaces yet; I want to get feedback about modeling inaccuracies first.
Development
The aircraft is hosted on GitHub: https://github.com/zlsa/pa28-181.
