This brings up an interesting question. Most folks I know that have
converted Tri-Pacers to taildraggers now call them Pacers. I believe
there are more PA22/20 conversions than there are actual PA20s. That
being the case, do you know if the PA22/20 conversion removes the
interconnect? If not, the I'll bet a lot of "Pacers" could be said to
have the interconnect.

The interconnect is removed per the STC that comes with a
conversion kit purchased from Univair. NonSTC conversions using
Piper's original PA20 drawings remove the interconnect because
the PA20 didn't have one; it was an "innovation" when Piper
came out with a PA22.

I had also emailed my question to an A&P friend that owned a PA22/20
and his answer (relating to the STC) was "it depends". Here's his
response :

"It depends on the original horse power. If you had a 135 hp the
spring stays in place. If you had an original 135 hp, converted it to
150 hp, the spring stays. If you had an original 150 or 160hp and
converted it, you remove the spring. That's just the way the STC was
written.
Also if you go to 180 hp add a constant speed the spring stays or is
added."

From our POH:

NORMAL CLIMBOUT (PA20-125) 87mph

APPROACH AND LANDING (PA20-125):
FULL FLAPS-- 60-70mph
NO FLAPS-- 70mph

V SPEEDS

Vs -- 51mph
Vso -- 46
Vfe -- 80
Va -- 106
Vno -- 126
Vne -- 158

No Vx, Vy, or Best Glide in the book.

We practice wheel landings on a regular basis, and I don't see a big
problem with them, but it's true, you're not likely to need them.
