1947 Piper PA-15 Vagabond

The Piper Vagabond is old-school flying at its best, a classic two-seat, tailwheel trainer that keeps you honest. No autopilot, no glass cockpit, and a bit short-coupled. Just stick & rudder. Master this, and every other airplane you fly will feel tame. With light controls, modest short-field performance, and fuel burn that won’t break the bank, the Vagabond is perfect for tailwheel checkouts and students who want real hands-on training. Training in a tailwheel aircraft builds precision, coordination, and real control skills that make transitioning to larger aircraft easier. Cruise Speed: 85 Knots, Engine: Continental A-75, Horsepower: 75 hp, Max Occupants: 2.
