poteroo Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Congrats Tomo. I assume it is one of the two that have been advertised at Albury??Cheers I remember speaking with a CFI from Albury, in the early 1990's - who had purchased a Pacer to do ab initio training. It was of interest to me because I'd bought a C170A in 1991, and had been pestered by a Jandakot flying school to put it online there for the same purpose. Ab initio training!! He was in the process of selling it, or otherwise removing it from the flightline because Albury only had the single runway, and they'd experienced a number of 'runway excursions' in the Pacer. Might have been the same machine as yours? There was another Pacer in Victoria which was purchased by an ex RPT Captain, but it was damaged during his conversion training due to the young instructor 'assuming' the Captain didn't really need any advice. I think this would have been around 2000-2003? Clearly, they will 'bite' if mishandled. happy days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

facthunter Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Think there would be plenty of T/D's more touchy than the PACER. Originally we called them TRIPERS (before conversion). Honest sort of a thing but a bit "bricky" with four up.. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, as a callow 23 yo, I learned on C180's and C185's. They could be very difficult with a big load and a quartering wind! happy days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ave8rr Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Tomo, would be interested in what indicated power off stall speed you are getting with say two up and what you would consider was a minimum (grass) field length. I have been looking at a 160hp Pacer. I have 400m strip with another 200m clear approach. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great Tomo, know what you mean about the weather, might have to wait a few days yet before setting off south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
