I have this as an opportunity
at least 13 years sitting.
1953 Pa-22
O290 d2 800hrs smoh
chrome cylinders looks great with bore scope.
Cam and crank? tbd
Not sealed struts with light surface rust upper half.
Newer strut forks.
Logs are incomplete.
Basically he would rather it be restored than parted out. I could buy it for the price of an engine core.
My step son just got his A&P (working for jet blue now) it would be our project.
My issue is I don't know what I don't know about Tri Pacers. I am not an A&P but have been working with tube and fabric planes for good while.
I am also very aware of the "free horse" that I might be getting into.
Looking for some advise and guidance.
