This 1958 built Piper PA-22-160 Tri-Pacer taildragger G-BSED, powered by a Lycoming O-320-A1A piston engine, is seen landing at Gloucestershire Airport. Built with a tricycle undercarriage, this aircraft was modified in the 1970s to fit a tailwheel.
A post-WWII design, the Piper Tri-Pacer was a four seat family hauler with shorter wings than the Cub, control yokes instead of a stick and, of course, a tricycle landing gear. I have a personal connection to these aircraft, as my father flew us around in one during the late 1950's. _DSC7140

private (untitled)
at Hamilton International Airport (YHM)
c/n 22-9406 - built in 1962
The PA-22 Tri-Pacer is part of an American family of light strut-braced high-wing monoplane aircraft built by Piper Aircraft from 1949 to 1964.
This one has been converted from a Tri-Pacer to conventional landing gear (tailwheel) and is landing at Cottonwood, AZ. He had quite a bit of quartering crosswind and handled it like a pro.
The D-EPCT is the local flying club's workhorse. It is used for initial training and glider towing. After a long period on the ground due to extensive maintenance, it is finally flying again
