About the Piper Tri-Pacer
The Piper Tri-Pacer (PA-22) is a 1950s short-wing four-seat single, essentially the tricycle-gear (nosewheel) version of the taildragger Pacer. Its forgiving nosewheel handling made it an approachable family and training airplane during the boom years of postwar general aviation, and its steel-tube, fabric-covered "short-wing Piper" construction is simple to maintain. Affordable to buy and run, the Tri-Pacer remains a popular entry into classic four-seat ownership.
