About the Piper Clipper
The Piper Clipper (PA-16) is a four-seat short-wing taildragger built in 1949, a stretched development of the two-seat Vagabond and the direct predecessor of the Pacer. With four seats on the compact short-wing airframe and a 115 hp Lycoming, it offered surprising utility for its size. Production was brief, so surviving Clippers are relatively scarce and prized by short-wing Piper enthusiasts.
