I find it refreshing to see an airplane that is not all digital and glass screened. Perfect for VFR.

Got my Private in 1969, at age 16, in a Colt. Great fun plane..

What a Sweet Little Tricycle Gear Airplane

Very well maintained tri-pacer. Purchased a 1956 PA-22-150 in 1977, put almost 400 hrs on it, was a very good back country flyer . Seeing this brings back memories.

A friends of mine has one with the exact same paint scheme. His is in showplane condition and I believe it won a trophy at Airventure. Great plane, underrated.

Built a model of this plane when I was a kid! Loved it...saw a few arrive on the ramp at the old Tilford's PBI back in the '70's.

Myself and my Stepdad used to fly one in central Texas, down close Columbus Tx. We’d fly into Houston and back every day just about for work we were doing down there. This was back in 81, I had just got out of the Navy. He was a instructor and he was teaching me how to fly. We just lost him in 2021 to a blown out heart. This brings back some great memories thank you for that, was a great plane and a better man than I could ever be. God bless.

I had one exactly like that but had to sell it after a few years, years later i now have another one. Great little planes

Great memories of our 57, n5812d. Its been about 25 years and I don't recall it having flaps,. Maybe it did. I do recall the trim lever.

Really good video Clayton. I have seen this plane in person and it is just as nice as the video.

I remember these being imported into the UK through my local airfield and it was the first type I ever flew in. That's where my love of flying was born

When I was a kid we had a share in one and we used to fly around to relatives homes in it. Three kids, the baby on the little cargo shelf behind the back seats. It last was in Texas and no longer listed as registered. Had a lot of fun in that.

Nickname.Is flying milk stool . Farmers out there will understand

My Dad used to have a share in one of those. I always loved flying it with my Dad after I got my pilot's license through Air Cadets. I always liked coming into land high on approach and side slip her in for landing. (This always makes my Dad uncomfortable when I do this! ..lol He prefers the 'normal' approach for landing!) Loved her short stubby wings. Yours looks very well maintained. Thanks for the show. Keep her straight and level. Kalvin, New Brunswick, Canada

Great plane and runs great! I always love the look of the older short wing planes. I hope to own one some day.

Beautiful playing always my favorite

My buddy has just finished restoring one of these. He has invited me up for a fly. Whoopee! 🛩🛩🛩

First passenger flight was in a '57 Tri-Pacer N5409D bought new by my uncle in Midland TX. He went on to buy three new Pipers (a Comanche, a Super Cub and one of the first Cherokee 140s) and inspired a love of aviation. I went on to become an FAA ASEL pilot @ 18 and also an A&P in the late 70s.

Nice looking bird Clayton! I love the short-wings. Subscribed!!

I took my flying lesson in a tripacer in 1966 in Iowa. Then in 1967 went in with a group and bought a Cheeroke6 new from factory.

I remember my dad flying a tripacer in the same colours G -APUT Based In 1959 - 1963Tollerton aerodrome In the uk for many years. Apparently my 1st plane I flew in, as a baby strapped in a carry cot in the back seats. Yours is exceptionally nice, hope you get many more years of flying out of her. Apparently my 1st experience of f

One thing about this airplane I remember is that power off it comes out of the sky like a brick, it taught me to fly tight patterns! You have a really nice looking plane 😁🛫

The front view shows me that that is one happy airplane. These Tri Pacers are hard to come by on the for sale market.

I flew a Colt with a Tri Pacer power plant when I was a student you had to reduce power on climb to keep from over rev ing the engine great little plane no flaps so landing was easy just line up and control altitude with the throttle sink was like a rock

I love the tri-pacer. Flew a 1959 with a 150hp in it. N5900D. Lost track of it.

Now there is a Great looking airplane !

Aahhh the venerable Fly Chaser!

Reminds me very much my Champion Aeronca that was manufactured at plant with tricicle landing gear config. this is a very nice airplane.

A nice machine! I would love to fly it.

Very nice. My dad has one just like it.

Love the LED lights, also like the paint scheme. My PA22 is a similar color, undergoing rebuild at this time. Nice airplane!

This is a great plane I just bought one.

my solo was in one of those wow

So fab thanks.

USed to teach on them. Use flaps 10 degrees for take off and approaches when under 90 mph. Steep turns all over 100 mph.

I need this plane in my life

BELO AVIÃO PARECIDO COM ANTIGO PAULISTINHA USADO AQUI no BRASIL 👍👍 🇧🇷

Looking to buy a pacer now, and just watching your video gets my psyched. However a piece of advice from an A&P. If you haven't flown her in a while, remove top plugs and roll the starter for about a minute, this lubes up the cylinders without compression. The aircraft won't start of course, but when you put the plugs back in, start her up, and go fly; you won't be starting a dry motor under load. It will help prolong the life of your motor considerably if its' an occasional flyer.

Love it…

Would like to drive down to see this airplane if it is still available. Could be there next Thur. June 3.

I learned to fly i a Tripacer PA 22 160 in Denver Co

This airplane will do everything a Skyhawk can do.

First plane I ever flew in. The next time dad owned it.

I had to so a spin check in a 1957 Piper TriPacer to get a rating on one in Australia. Not to worried about that really as the aeroplane spins well..

It's the first NX Cub!

Nice nice walk around. Sending you an email with a few questions.

Does it have the aux fuel tank under the back seat?

How's the Skybeacon working out? Install pretty easy?

In about 1959 or so, my family (dad and brothers) were well into General Aviation. They bought a nearly new Tripacer of very similar color in Dallas. I can't help but wonder if you would have any way of knowing if your beautiful Tripacer was ever owned by Joe, Jack or Bill Wallace in Dallas (all deceased now). Brings back wonderful memories. We stopped flying after my parent's divorced and I never got my license. But my son now owns and flies a Piper Arrow, P28R and I love flying it. - GeezerWheels ("Ray" in SW Colorado).

Is the plane still available? I would like to get some more info if it is. Thanks Thomas Is it sold?

Is the aircraft still available?

16:37 clear prop

I have one .A great plane for having fun. But all i got is negative from you.Anything good about it?

Great airplane but do not get complacent. A friend of mine along with his wife and son died in a stall/spin. The aircraft was at Max gross and wind light and variable. Temp around 95F at an elevation of approximately 1000. They perform really well for what they are but low to the ground when they’re done flying, you and the occupants are done as well.

I have a 1958 PA 22-160 in storage, it only has 508 hr's TTSN on the engine and air frame. Its red and white.

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but would you mind saying how much you sold it for?

How much are you asking for it?

What's the HP and useful load on this thing? Does the back seat come out?

Man that’s a great video. Nothing hidden. A buyer will really appreciate this. Just bought on in Oct. can you tell me where you got the door catches from? Thanks.

Is the plane located in Juno, AK?

What is that crank on the middle of the front windshield up top

How much ?

Piper Volta PA 22

Good looking bird. Looks very familiar not sure if I have seen it somewhere. Who's LED rear nav light did you use and did it fit well? Just subbed to your channel stop by and check mine out. Keep the SWP flying. :)

late here. really nice job. Is there a vid of takeoff / landing a minute of each'd be great , just as a fun Utube bit.

Hello, nice plane. I am in the market for a tripacer. If this one is still available, what is your asking price?

May i ask you what was the price?

Is it still for sale? How much?

How much do you want for your plane? I am in Texas.

Why are you selling that awesome little plane???

Lets just gloss over the corrosion and missing hardware.... but loves to talk about LEDs lol.

Entonces que todos esos empresarios que usan la inteligencia artificial para reemplazar a sus trabajadores , que sus productos se los compren la inteligencia artificial , jajajajajajaj

My first flight on a small plane was as a boy on one of these which wasn't at all impressive. Very cheap and poor quality.

I did an interior on one many years ago at my local airport.I did it not long after getting my A&P.I needed a job working on planes.
