THE TRIPACER IS A 4 PLACE, 2 DOOR, CROSS-COUNTRY AIRPLANE.
IT WAS PIPER"S FIRST TRICYCLE GEARED AIRCRAFT, AND WAS BUILT FROM 1951 THROUGH 1964.
THIS AIRCRAFT OVERRAN THE END OF THE RUNWAY ON LANDING AND SUFFERED A PARTIAL GEAR COLLAPSE AND OTHER DAMAGE.
THE NOSE GEAR AND MOUNT WERE DAMAGED AND THE LEFT MAIN GEAR WAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE FUSELAGE, AND THIS PRODUCED DAMAGE IN THE LEFT FUSELAGE FLOOR.
THERE ARE DENTS ON THE TAILCONE (LEFT UPPER AND RIGHT LOWER, NEAR THE N NUMBER, WHERE ONE TUBE IS SLIGHTLY BENT, BUT THE OVERALL STRUCTURE IS COMPLETE.
ALL 4 LIFT STRUTS APPEAR STRAIGHT.
THE RIGHT GEAR ASSEMBLY APPEARS OK AND BOTH MAIN WHEELS ARE UNDAMAGED. THE NOSEGEAR WAS SERIOUSLY DAMAGED AND HAS BEEN DISCARDED.
THE LEFT WING HAS BOTH SPARS GOOD, WITH ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF SCRAPING ON THE OUTBOARD LOWER TIP BOW.
THE LEFT FLAP, AILERON AND TIP LIGHT ARE GOOD.
THE RIGHT WING HAS ONLY A SMALL WRINKLE ON THE TOP SURFACE NEAR THE AILERON, BUT NO OBVIOUS SPAR DAMAGE AND BOTH THE FLAP AND AILERON ON THE RIGHT ARE GOOD, AS WELL AS THE NAVLIGHT ASSEMBLY.
BOTH WING FUEL TANKS ARE UNDAMAGED, AS ARE THE COVERS.
THE TAIL SURFACES ALL APPEAR TO BE UNDAMAGED.
INSIDE, THE TAN 4 SEATS ARE IN NICE SHAPE, RECENTLY RECOVERED.
THE DASH IS COMPLETE WITH ALL FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTS, RUDDER PEDALS, CONTROL YOKES, ETC.
THE UPPER COWL IS MOSTLY UNDAMAGED, BUT THE LOWER WAS DISCARDED.
LOGBOOKS ARE INCLUDED FROM DAY 1 , 12/8/1953 THROUGH THE LAST ANNUAL INSPECTION, WHICH JUST EXPIRED 6/1/2021!
ALSO INCLUDED ARE THE FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND THE FAA BILL OF SALE!
THIS IS AN ACTUAL AIRPLANE, WITH PAPERWORK, NOT A JUMBLE OF PARTS!
WITH THE GENERALLY GOOD WINGS AND ALL GOOD CONTROL SURFACES, IT WOULD MAKE A FINE DONOR FOR A TRIPACER OR PACER RESTORATION/REPAIR, OR FIX IT UP TO FLY AGAIN, OR "CRASH" IT IN TO THE SIDE OF YOUR BUILDING OR BARN, OR USE IT AS SET DRESSING OR OTHER DISPLAY.
A REAL AIRPLANE, NOT A TOY, BUT PRICED CHEAP SO IT WONT BREAK THE BANK!
LOCATED AT OUR MAIN OFFICES AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT, KMIC,JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
WE WILL STORE THE AIRPLANE FOR 30 DAYS AT NO COST, THAN $10 PER DAY THEREAFTER.
SMALL AND LIGHT, SO EASY TO TRAILER.
HAVE FUN WITH THIS PROJECT!

REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
