I had seriously considered a tripacer before I ended up getting my second 150, 16 months ago. I had a 150 about 12 years ago, learned to fly in a 150 and I seem more knowledgeable about it. However, a close friend of mine had a tripacer, and I thought it was really a nice plane. I had even bid on a tripacer before I got the 150. I was a member of the "Short Wing Piper club" that is also a friendly, informative organization. I think dollar for dollar, the tripacer is a good buy. I was just more familiar with the 150 or I am sure I would have purchased a tripacer. I even found out that a number of flight schools use tripacers for training. This is just fyi.

Selling is fine just don't put the sale proceeds into a wedding. You'll never get'um back.

Steve,

G'day,

Go to agree with you on the paint job thing, the other thing I like with aircraft (especially old ones like the Pacer or Tripacer) is to look a keeping the exterior looking original, paint-scheme I mean, kinda keeps it looking more how do you say....classic - yeah thats right classic. I have a different theory on interiors in that I do like a modern looking panel(instruments, radios, etc) however idealy is should be in the same panel shape, not some big blank sheet of metal that you see in the new Pipers etc, if I can use that for an example - check out the new warrior panel boooooooooring. (Sorry if someone out there's got one) The aircraft that is on ebay doesn't really look like a Pacer or how I would want "my" Pacer to look - but thats just me - each to there own, but then I guess if everyone liked the same thing, life would be pretty ordinary... don't you think.....

Cheers

Well, yesterday was probably my last flight in N34908 (1974 Cessna 177B Cardinal) so I went out with a bang. I helped to organize an open house and young eagles event at our airport (HRI) and was able to introduce 15 kids (5 flights at 3 each) to aviation for the first time before the worst thunderstorms I have ever seen here invaded our party. 3/4 inch hail, gusts to 60 kts and heavy rains and flash flooding in the area...YIKES.

Anyway, we got all the planes back on the ground safely and got 100 kids flown before having to shut down about 1:30 p.m.

The deposit has arrived, and the plane will fly to California for pre-buy and closing probably this coming week. Unless that get's delayed, she will stay in the hangar.
