Beware the strut AD. Punch those in a few places too.

A few other ADs: Check the attach point of the fabric at the top
of the windshield. The SB referenced by the AD has pictures -
make sure it's done right.

There are corrosion problems with the lower longerons and the bottom
of the window channels - someone who knows what they are doing can
tap along the lower longerons and tell what sort of shape they're in.

Oh, yes: Join the Short Wing Piper Club. www.shortwing.org

Other then that, I second Michael: I love my Tripacer, and I
fly a reasonable amount of IFR in it. It's a great, stable
IFR platform, although a bit lacking in range for alternates.
