How near? How soon? Do you have access to a 180 and only need the instructor, or do you also need the aircraft? Have you checked the flight schools in your area? Where did you previously fly the PA-28? More info would be helpful and may trigger a contact.

Somewhere mid state, I guess out to Wausau would work as well.
Sometime in the next couple weeks would be good and i don't have access to a Cherokee yet, but am in the process of buying my own.
I did check flight school and came up empty.
Previously flew an Arrow out west at Utah Valley University and the Archer and another Arrow down at SIUC. I have 90 hours in type, but it's been a while.
Do you live in Oshkosh? “Out to Wausau” from where? That would give me a radius.
I provided transition training for a fellow who recently purchased a Cherokee. His insurance company required 5 hours dual in the aircraft. Sounds like you have that covered.
I am based in Kenosha and have many hours in the PA-28-180.

I’m in Appleton, but could make a trip down that way.
Im good as far as insurance goes, it’s just been some time since I’ve been up in a Cherokee and specifically this one doesn’t have toe brakes, which from what I hear is ok, but I’ve never tried just the hand brake before.

I will send you a PM to discuss further.
By the way, taxiing without toe breaks is the best way to learn proper taxi speed 😬
