Thanksgiving day will mark the end of my first year of owning and flying N3407Z. I've flown 150 hours this year, covering a dozen states and a few Canadian provinces.
Many thanks to Pilot/A&P Tom Gifford and all of you for your insight, guidance, and trusted advice this year! My "Freebird" has been a faithful workhorse through rain, ice, and snow, temp's down to 20 below, and icy or snow-covered runways. This is a very rugged bird, and I would recommend her to any newer pilot. I've just passed through the 500 total hour mark, and still learning as I go.

Owning a tripacer is the best thing I ever did for getting myself a lot of flight hours. Small enough to be economical, large enough to be useful, cheap enough to be affordable...

Still putting the hours on it, still loving every minute of it.

after five years I finally own my tri pacer. and now life has thrown a curve and I am thinking lightly about selling her.

Great airplanes! Have owned everything from RV-4 to a 170B, but you can't beat a Tripacer as an all around, relatively inexpensive airplane.

After 8 years with no airplane, I'm in the market for a nice Tripacer again (would be my 3rd Shortwing).
