**stewart1a** · 10th May 2005, 12:50

I am searching for pictures of this aircraft for a project your help is greatly appriciated.

**Arm Waver** · 10th May 2005, 12:52

A regular to VAC events - I should have a picture somewhere. How soon would you want it?

**stewart1a** · 10th May 2005, 12:53

within a week please, once again thank you.

Some of those pics in the above links are mine so could certainly be available easily

**Moggy C** · 10th May 2005, 14:58

Too many seats, all those complicated flaps.

So nearly a nice aircraft...

Ah but with 42 more horses, size matters

I thought it was 52?

Aside from that, I was wondering how they differ in terms of handling, performance etc, being essentially the same airframe? Given the extra seats etc, does the extra 52 horses make that much difference overall? I assume it might climb better, but what about cruising and stalling speeds etc?

**stewart1a** · 10th May 2005, 16:10

Boones farm sorry AN 225!

**Moggy C** · 10th May 2005, 16:14

I thought the Tri-Pi was 140bhp - so +32bhp ?

Never flown one so can't comment.

**BlueRobin** · 10th May 2005, 16:20

Usually 150 horses. We were trying to buy one last year with a factory-fit VP prop. Have only flown a PA22 convert meself. Reminded me about adverse yaw in that you have to dial a bit off the turn when you've got it co-ordinated much like our current aeroplane. Is the Colt the same?

**Moggy C** · 10th May 2005, 16:27

Yup. The rudder does seem to fight the ailerons.

Mind you some of the early Tri-Pi had a system that interlinked the rudder and yoke so that you didn't need to use your legs.

Ghastly business, designed to make them more 'car-like'

Moggy

**BlueRobin** · 10th May 2005, 16:29

Still exists on the Maule. Initially your feet don't know what to do so take some practice. Makes it more difficult to throw about as the rudder seems to hunt for it's balance.

I thought the Colt was 108hp, the Caribbean 150hp and the Tri-Pacer 160hp?

I'll put my anorak away now!

**gdenney** · 11th May 2005, 14:48

Hi Stewart,

Have a look on the Vintage Fabrics website. I have some photos of the G-ARHP in the Completed Jobs section.

I may be able to find some more from the restoration. I'll try to dig them out and add to the website.

I see BlueRobin has already posted one on here from the website...

Looks like a company to keep in mind for our next covering...

Do you know I've been thinking about having an 'H in a box' on the tail of the Colt to echo the B17s that used to fly from Knettishall.

Nice thought and certainly would be an unusual but subtle tribute.

**Moggy C** · 11th May 2005, 16:07

I suppose this should really be at Historic, but there are some Horham veterans at Old Buck on Saturday (14 May) lunchtime.

Well done AF go to the front of the class(but don't take your books-you won't be staying long

) you have the figures right. Doesn't it make you feel better knowing that you are not the only anorak on the forum?

**BlueRobin** · 16th May 2005, 11:29

Yes but how do you visually distinguish between a Carib and a Tripe?

Easy-Peasy

It's written on the side.

(And that is genuine 'spotters knowledge' from the 1960s

)

**BlueRobin** · 16th May 2005, 11:38

Same thing innit. Bit like someone last year berating me for not knowing the difference between a Piper Dakota and a Piper Charger. I ask you...

Anyway what other classic GA type could you get for the same performance for under £25k? Not much. We were considering purchasing such a type last year. Rarely come up on the market though - must be cherished by their owners?

Do New Piper still hold the type certificate for the -22? (he asked wondering about PFA Permits).

Bit late for Stewart's project, but worth adding anyway I figured.

Brooklands Fly-in, summer of 1999.

Is that a Cessna 170 behind 'RP? Looks quite tidy, whatever it is.
