Comments:

The Piper PA-15 Vagabond was the first post-World War II Piper aircraft design. It utilized much of the same production tooling that created the famous Piper Cub, as well as many of the Cub structural components (tail surfaces, landing gear, most of the wing parts). The Vagabond has a wing that is one bay shorter (~30 feet versus 36 feet) than that on the Cub, which lead to the unofficial designation of Short-wing Piper. This allowed the aircraft to be built with minimal material, design and development costs, and is credited with saving Piper Aircraft from bankruptcy after the war. Vagabonds used a new fuselage with side-by-side seating for two instead of the Cubs' tandem (fore and aft) seating.

The LSA (Light Sport Aircraft) segment of aviation is exploding, with manufacturers rushing to bring planes to the market. But, most of these aircraft are $80,000 or more, some well over $100,000. That leaves the Sport Pilot on a budget with limited choices. A classic tailwheel plane like this is a perfect and economical alternative!

If your plan is to get a Light Sport License and use it to fly around in your local area to punch a few holes in the clouds, this may be the perfect plane for you.
