    Very nice. They are a fun airplane. The Vag won't wallow around on the ground like the Champ especially with solid gear like you have and when it is done flying it is done and not prone to pick up a wing.

    I recommend starting out on grass. It’s not quite as docile as a Champ.

    My not so short winged Piper I rebuilt a few years ago for someone else and now is mine.

    This is too (opps I mean "a") nice looking plane for the PIC.

    Nice. Your plane has all of the best mods! I remember seeing it for sale ~2.5 years ago when I first started looking for a Pacer.

    I’d love to have a pilots side door.

    Here’s 2960Z. Purchased this year from a nice hangar in Daytona. Right now she’s enduring flight lessons with me at the wheel. She’s a lot of fun. IMG_0026.jpeg

    I bought it hanging from the ceiling of a hanger disassembled with the engine all apart in boxes. About a 2 years later, with a lot of help from an A&P who has become a friend, it is back in the air. The previous owner passed away and not much was known about it since the logs were missing. By sheer luck the log books surfaced, but only after the project was done! “Lil Suzy” is now in fine shape with a fresh engine, some new shoes and blue skies ahead.
