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.
