I'm sure it could be done, but I wouldn't want to try it in mine. One
reason is that the spin recovery in a Tripacer is different than most
planes. Somebody from the short wing piper club posted it once and it
included ailerons with the spin and just some different procedures than
typical.

I'm thinking you're probably one of the first people to ever use the term
"snappy" with regard to the TP tho. ;-)

OK, I'll rephrase. Faster (150hp ver.) and more agile than a Hawk but
noisier and less roomy.
When I got checked out for the insurance on mine, I had to find a CFI with
"make & model" time. I was required to get 5hrs on the checkout(it was my
first plane). After an hour, he asked for the controls and showed me lazy
8s,D-Rolls, falling leaf and others. Somewhere during this he says "I almost
forgot how much fun these things are!"
It may look funny to some people but the TP will always be one of my
favorites. Not by much, but it out ran my buddys hershey bar 180 Archer.

Do you have a site with pics of yours? I'd like to see it if you do.
I'll have to scan a pic and post mine on my site.
