This 1954 Piper Tri-Pacer (PA-22-135) is a fantastic opportunity for a pilot seeking a well-sorted, reliable, and beautifully restored aircraft. Registered as Owner-Maintenance, this Tri-Pacer has undergone significant recent upgrades, including a fresh fabric and paint job completed in September 2025 using Ceconite and high-quality Stewart Systems.
