Now, I think the Tripacer with a full span Cub wing would make one excellent airplane....................
I've flown the short wing Pipers, including a Pacer (owner did the take-off and landing), Tri-Pacer, and a Colt. Still haven't flown a Cub, but it's on my bucket list. Although I prefer all metal airplanes, I think I agree that a short-wing Piper with Cub wings would make a heckuva airplane. BUT, there is a group of Cub owners that prefer clipped wings on their Cubs. Each to their own, I guess.
Gary and others have expressed my feelings about aviation. Although I haven't done much of it lately, flying is more important to me than anything besides family! I would probably be a much happier person if I had developed a passion for collecting paper clips instead, as the cost of flying is what has grounded me for so long now, and is at times quite depressing. I am commited that I will NOT finish my projects until I can afford to do everything properly (do it right, do it once). There are other needs ahead of my passion. However, like Bill, I am confident that all good things will come in due time. The plan is in already in place and being executed as we speak, but can't come to fruition for another 2 1/2 years of working. THEN I can truly retire and have the needed income to provide for both family AND our passions.
