1948 Piper Vagabond
1948 Piper PA-17 Vagabond, a true gem in the world of classic aviation that combines charm and functionality in a fun-to-fly package. With a total time of 2,033 hours and 715 hours since major overhaul (SMOH) on its reliable A65-8F engine, this vintage aircraft has been meticulously cared for and is ready for new adventures in the skies. The McCauley Model 1B90 propeller has only 105 hours since new, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. Designed for VFR flight, the Vagabond comfortably seats two, making it perfect for leisurely flights, weekend getaways, or simply enjoying the beauty of flight.
This stunning aircraft comes complete with all original documents and meticulous logs from its birth, reflecting its rich history and the care it has received over the decades. It has been hangar-kept throughout its life, and the airframe is in outstanding condition, having been recovered with Stitts 90x in 1983. You would think it was recently done; the attention to detail and quality of work truly shine through. The lift struts and forks were also replaced in 1983, contributing to the overall integrity and safety of the airframe.
Modern upgrades enhance the Vagabond's performance, including the installation of Grove disc brakes in 2015, which provide excellent braking power and control. The aircraft is also equipped with a key switch, turn coordinator, pneumatic tailwheel, and sleek wheel pants that not only improve aerodynamics but also add to its classic aesthetic. Additionally, the engine starts on the first blade, whether hot or cold, thanks to new Slick mags installed in 2021, offering reliable performance that pilots can count on.
Inside and out, the Vagabond is in great shape, boasting a rating of an honest 8/10. The interior reflects the classic charm of the era while ensuring a comfortable flying experience, inviting you to take to the skies. For added convenience, the aircraft includes a handheld radio and a portable two-place intercom that functions flawlessly, allowing for clear communication during flights.
This 1948 Piper Vagabond isn’t just an aircraft; it’s a piece of aviation history that invites you to create new memories in the sky. Whether you’re an experienced pilot or a classic aviation enthusiast, this Vagabond is ready to be your trusty companion.
