1961 Piper Tri-Pacer
Single Engine Piston
Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
Don't like the price, make an offer. Complete logs since factory. Piper PA-22-108 Colt Project. Airframe only. This would be a good starter project for someone looking for a simple time build trainer or someone needing parts for their ongoing project. You could also use this airframe to do the tailwheel STC. This airplane was a trainer at the Biele AFB Flying club in the 60's 70's. Then moved into storage in Oregon in the early 70s. Have logs back to factory. This AC has two wing tanks, new wing tank covers. I believe the entire airframe is there, but I picked it up already disassembled, so you have to be the judge. Buyer responsible for pick up and delivery. Currently housed at an airport with easy access for pickup. I originally bought this AC as a project, but time slips away and I just don't have the time left to get her back in the air.

Originally had Lycoming O-235c1b
