Starting with a Tripe and making a Pacer

[docmirror]

Please don't tell me to visit the 'shortwingpiper' website. I've been there, they don't have any info in the public domain.

A. I know it's not an STC, because the airframe is the same on both.
B. Wag Aero has no kits.

If anyone has done it, or knows who does it, please advise.

It's done on a field approval. move the mains forward, and add the T/W. the parts are all piper, and the F/A is usually based upon other aircraft that has been completed. Your cover letter should read convert the PA 22- to a PA 20.

Thx Tom!

I'll find one that's been done a copy off of that.

The STC number is SA45RM and is held by Univair.

See above.

I converted a PA22 to a PA20 many years ago using the Univair STC.

Also, here is a list of all the STC's for the PA22:

Univar owns a bunch of STCs, call them to see if they support this one.

they also now own Atlee Dodge products/mods for the J-3/PA-18 series.

Check this site. page 14 of 16 has the landing gear conversion kits. My mechanic used to do the conversions by turning the gear around like Tom suggested but he recommends the Univair conversion.

Do you have the Tripe already?

Do you think you can do it for less than this one?

THere are some great deals on Tripes, but that one (above) seems like a great option.

Ummm... Reading comprehension problems?

I assume "Tripacer" is too long to write out so it's shortened to "Tripe".
