Sliding seats
Can anyone tell me if there is a Pa-22 that has sliding seats? My wife is tall and I am not so tall...our "fit" in some airplanes is kinda dicey!
Thanks

Re: Sliding seats
some one with better memory than I will come up with the year and maybe starting serial number.
I am thinking it was '55 or 56

Re: Sliding seats
I believe sliding seats started in 1956. My 1955 doesn’t have individual seats, but has a bench seat.

Re: Sliding seats
Clyde Smith’s article in the EAA vintage mag on tri pacers from earlier this year has the date listed in it if anyone has the mag handy

Re: Sliding seats
FWIW, my '56, SN 3868 (born late March of 1956), has two sliding seats.

Re: Sliding seats
'50~55 model year Tri-Pacers had bench front seat, D rear windows, low instrument panel with radios on far left side, and the master cylinder was on the engine mount. The '55 had only 150 hp O-320
Beginning in '56 model year, they had split front seats, home plate rear windows, humped instrument panel with (sorta) six pack flight instruments and center stack radio, the panel was moved forward ~2", master cylinder under the front seat, starter gets a relay, and improved door latches and locks. Swoopy paint schemes like the Comanche. And choice of 150 or 160 hp.
