More than 7,600 Tri-Pacers were built over the model's 10-year production run. The Tri-Pacer debuted with a 125-hp O-290 but almost immediately was upgraded to 135 hp. Later models were offered with 150-hp and 160-hp O-320 engines. The last of Piper's tube and fabric models was the Colt, which appeared in 1961.

A steel-tube and fabric, high-wing, strut-braced single-engine configuration aircraft with four seats, the higher horsepower Tri-Pacer can turn in a solid short-field performance, lifting a reasonable load with full fuel. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for the first Tripacers powered by 125hp and 135hp Lycoming engines.

The Tri- Pacer can cruise faster than a vintage Cessna 172 on only seven to nine GPH. It has good short-field performance, a wide CG range and good parts availability to boot. The price for this ranges from about $15,500 up to around $20,000 or so, though a "fixer-upper" can be had for less.

In an attempt to make the learning and flying process easier, Piper offered the Pacer in a nose-wheel configuration, thus the name Tri-Pacer, which also came with a power bump up to 160hp. The Tri-Pacer has a useful load of a touch over 650lb (295kg, or .5 VW Beetles), and can cruise at 116kt. (134mph). Stall speed is 49mph, which translates.

This 1960 Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer is currently airworthy and ready to fly home, offering a new take of the popular adage car sellers use to fly in, drive it home.

The Piper PA-20 Pacer and PA-22 Tri-Pacer are an excellent value for a solid, dependable, proven design rag-and-tube aircraft that makes a good foundation for a bush plane. They are plentiful on the current market and provide similar performance to a Cessna 170 or 172 in stock form.

Staff Report - Published: March 5, 2001 Updated: October 29, 2019 The Piper Tri-Pacer is not what one would call a modern-looking airplane. Short-coupled, with stubby, strut-braced wings and thick-looking tricycle landing gear, the tube-and-fabric four-seater seems a bit dowdy.

Overview Performance Summary Specifications Short-wing Pipers are just that. The description is meant to set them apart from - how did you know? - long-wing Pipers. But don't make the same mistake as Marilynn Milor of Wichita Falls, Texas. She and her husband bought a Cherokee 180, vintage 1970, with the short-span, constant-chord wing.

Photo by Mike Burdett via Wikipedia Commons The Piper Tri-Pacer is the answer to the question, asked by Piper back in the day, "How can we build a nosewheel four-seater without designing a whole new plane?" Easy. Put a nose wheel on a Pacer. The result is an aircraft that files okay, carries four svelte friends, and doesn't cost a lot.

The Pacer and the Tri-Pacer were the first post- World War II Piper designs with flaps and a control yoke instead of a center stick, and they belong to a sub-group of Piper aircraft popularly called "short wing Pipers," reflecting their shorter wingspans compared to the earlier J-3 Cub and PA-18 Super Cub.
