@R3df3rn fun fact, you can still download this, just hit download, then when it tells you “you need X mod to work” click “ok” then hit the undo button, the hit the redo button, and that will give you the craft without the modded parts
@JohnnyBoythePilot after one month of having the tri pacer, I can gladly say I like it over the 172, it flies very very well, 10/10 would recommend
It does all airwork you want beautifully and easily with just one finger on the controls, it flies almost perfectly straight for like 5 min when trimmed out, and it feels like it will fly with what ever you can fit into it, granted it may need more runway to do so
@Zue5s uh, like swaying? I’m gathering its like a swaying motion which irl planes do sway a little, but idk what fully you are getting at without a video or gif to get a better idea of what is happening
Awesome!
I used to be a ramp agent at a FBO, we would get a ton of these, they were either the easiest things to fill or the most evil depending on what the owner did for the fuel tank and cap option
Also if you are looking for another fun single engine to build, a Grob G120A may be a fun build
(Substantially more evil to ramp agents however)
Oh and I just remembered something, this has been bugging me for years now, the edge of the taxi ways at the airports have bugged hit boxes that wheels fall into and get stuck, also the stripes at wright sometimes yeet the airplane up
Could we please fix that?
the addition of a horn that maybe can have a few set presets for different kinds ie air horn like on trucks or more of a warning horn kind of thing, if that’s possible, which would be sweet to add to ground vehicles or can be set to a airspeed or something and used as a stall warning, could be very cool.
@2Papi2Chulo or find a user who gets jealous easily, then build something better than them (for reasons of not starting a fight, users in question shall remained un named)
(Can confirm this does in fact work)
@JuanAlt after talking to someone who drove trains, you’d be surprised
This guy alone had two people not see a mobile orange box a mile long, and T bone it
I only have a few negatives with the tri pacers, but every plane has these so to be expected
High sink rate when power is reduced
Narrow gear, not that bad, just take turns on the ground slowly and that solves that
Lack of checklist and a not so clear POH, fixable by making your own checklist, and the Short wing piper club is a great place to go for info so solves that POH thing
And, that’s about it really I only have great things to say about tri pacers
@Hedero yeah they did make them with aluminum skin but they didn’t do it quite right as a result it corrodes easier and not to mention made the plane to heavy, you’ll want the fabric one, and again it’s not a negative on these guys, it’s actually a plus in my book, as it’s lighter, easier to move around in a hanger
@Hedero yup! Full electric system, no hand prop required, however the starter is in a bizarre place, but hey, at it has one, also I’d recommend looking into the 150hp ones up (preferably the 160 depending where you are)
Now big things with them about owning, it’s fabric, which means you may need to replace it eventually, but if you find one that’s been taken care of and hangered, it should last you a very long time, mine was re fabricated in I think 74, and it’s fooling people into thinking it’s new fabric with how it was taken care of
Also on hangering, it’s a must in tri pacers as it’s fabric
Other than that I can’t think of anything that would get ya on owing one
It really is a wonderful airplane, flies absolutely beautifully, very very stable, great for time building but has great performance, if you find one with the mo gas STC, you can run them on car gas which is a huge plus
I have tons of great things to say about the tri pacer
@Hedero actually the tri pacers, while they are light, don’t get kicked around as bad as one may imagine, and I think the 150 would be about the same imo, the only bad things with a tri pacer is that sink rate, they are honestly the best bang for the buck plane you can get, actually I think it’s cheaper than a 150 even for maintaining and operating
(It’s the cheapest plane to insure as well, $900 a year is like max you will see on it, also not saying the 150 is a bad choice, it too is a good airplane, I just think the Tri Pacers or colts are a better option)
@Hedero what might be worth doing is going to barnstormers and putting out an ad saying “Tri Pacer wanted” and wait to see if anyone calls you about one, we did that and it was not but 5 days and we had 2 people call us with tri pacers
I think that helps with price too as they may just see that ad and not noticed the price increase on others, mine was 25k which was 20k less than all the others (which were all project planes btw) so you never know
(Also doesn’t have to be a tri pacer, just using it as a example, though I would recommend it over a Cessna 150)
@Hedero it’s a great bird too, cheap as far as airplanes go, great performance, but high sink rate and while it has tricycle gear, one must be careful with its top heaviness
I agree!
(This is a joke this will be removed soon, plz don’t take to seriously)
Fake all broken RC
+2Why did you post a picture of broken model planes?
+1Balsa wood models
+1Quit posting pictures of paper planes
+1Fake, all RC
+2I believe it actually aims more at the center of mass for some reason
+2@TDevil36 nah the mobile update is gonna be payed DLC, lol no it should be for everyone lol
Worlds best F104 replica!
+8@BaconEggs yeah, I can’t think of any other game where I can chase airplanes with a flying log stacker
+10Yeah add a lot more details, also don’t worry about part count, just go until it looks great
@SemedianIndustries lol

Could also be a C boat, or a n boat depending how how you look at it
+3@Zue5s uh, like swaying? I’m gathering its like a swaying motion which irl planes do sway a little, but idk what fully you are getting at without a video or gif to get a better idea of what is happening
+1@Zue5s uh, rudder wobble? What do you mean by that?
+1@NITROSHARK thanks!
+1@NITROSHARK nice! Yeah I wanted something a little more cheery colored for the airline, Aruba airlines fit that pretty well I think
@NITROSHARK unfortunately SP physics didn’t like wings on detachers
The build… has only been up….. 9 hours…. Bruh
Give it time also why u building for upvotes? Bruh X2
Any chance we could possibly get trim options like this? For older planes or helicopters, I think that would be pretty cool
+8@Hedero Fixed Base Operator, basically glorified gas station for planes that’s manned, not self serve
@Hedero the FBO was down in GoodYear AZ, and yeah there isn’t a lot of info on that airplane sadly
My favorite builders are the ones who aren’t cringy or are rude or take their “fame” to hyperdrive their ego past the observable universe
+5Awesome!

I think more airports would also be pretty nice, kinda sad that we have the like 5 airports only

+49@AN2Felllla maybe even the old hockey puck heading indicators would be sweet too
I think the .30 cal tri pacer will hand them their butts on a silver platter

This would be a better post in the forums but sure
+2Fun fact with earlier lears with tip tanks, if you fully fuel one side without putting fuel in the other side, it topples over
+5@IndonesianMan no worries lol
@Renzoo @RPC3503 727* it was taken off of my 727 I made about 4-5 years ago
link for proof
Looks strangely familiar…. Hmmm looks like it was ripped off my 727
@Hedero yup!
@Hedero no problem!

Can’t have your replica stolen if you don’t make replicas points to head
+6@Hedero Cherokees are nice, I own a Tri Pacer, which has made my bias to Piper now
