[Treetop_Flyer]

Just got our Tri-Pacer weighed today over at Rare Aircraft. A little background info. on her.

1957 PA-22
O-320-B2B
Full Gyro Panel
Full IFR Panel
Brittain A/P
Wheel Pants
Miss Pearl Aileron and Flap Fairings
Williams Toe Brakes with Cleveland Discs
Leather Interior
Airwolf Filter Spin-On Filter
Precise Flight Stand-By Vac System
Superflite 102 with Superthane System II

Now she tips the scales at.....1286 lb which includes oil (1271 lb without oil)

I have to say I was actually impressed. I think if it had butyrate dope I could lose 20 lb more, but dang that Superthane looks slick!

Bringing this one back from the dead since Stephen was awesome enough to help me get a decent weight.

PA-16
290D with 76am prop
Skytec starter
InterAv alternator
Basic panel with T&B on venturi
Airtex interior
heavy oil cooler
Panel oil filter
Sullivan tips/extension.

Weight was 1066 with oil. More than I was hoping but less than was previously listed by a good 50#. I'm currently thinking hard about how much my T&B and interior weigh.
