What is the best solution to add more wing area to a Pacer?
We cannot bolt on -12-18 wings, or trade over to a -18. nice try though!
I have heard Mr. Burr has tested many different types.

So bring on the best solution. Time to stop awishin' and start afixin'
Thank you all for your input.
 
Give Steve Pierce a PM he would know---I know there's one out there but I don't know who has the STC

Surf the shortwing Piper discussion site (shortwingpipers.org), there's lots of posts on this. Both Eddie Trimmer and Charlie Center (both in Alaska) have wing mods to increase wing area, also can incorporate moving the ailerons outboard & enlarging the flaps. Various extended wingtips are available also. Check the aqua-and-white Pacer in one of the open hangars at harvey's, it has extended tips and squared-off ailerons. A guy I know up at Lopez Island has done some wingtip mods to his Pacer, he's posted about them on the shortwing site.
