	Plans-Vol 4 No. 1 Page 18 : Piper PA-15 Vagabond
		he full scale Piper PA-15 Vagabond is called the 88 day wonder because it took exactly 44 days to design and 44 days to build.
		The PA-17 was followed by the 4 placed Piper Clipper.
		The Vagabond was an effort to get a sagging Piper Aircraft Corporation out of financial trouble immediately after World War II.

	The Aviation Forum - Piper Clipper PA-16
		An improved version with rubber springs fitted with the undercarriage was named the Piper PA-17 'Vagabond'.
		Piper took the consequense and produced a new version with a wheel instead of the stick and which carried all its tank capacity in the wings and had a bigger engine - and in this way in 1950 the succesful type PA-20 'Pacer' was sent to the market.
		At the end of March 1947 the sale of Piper aircraft suddenly decreased, even if in the same month a new type, the PA-14 "Family Cruiser", had been sent out into the market.

	What's a Piper Cub?
		There was no mystery about the Vagabond's purpose in life: it was designed to use up Piper's inventory of spare parts and raw materials, which meant that it had to sell for less than the basic Cub.
		Counting all its descendants--the four-seat PA-16 Clipper, dual-control PA-17 Vagabond, upgraded PA-20 Pacer, and above all the tricycle-gear PA-22 Tri-Pacer, Caribbean, and Colt--it eventually sold as many planes as the Super Cub line.
		I had a more difficult time with another line of Piper aircraft, those descending from the PA-15 Vagabond.

	Piper PA-15 Vagabond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The PA-15 and PA-17 Vagabonds, along with the later Pacer, Tri-Pacer, Colt and their variants are supported by a very active aircraft type club, The Shortwing Piper Club.
		The Vagabond was later superseded by the Pacer, Tri-Pacer and Colt, which are all in fact variations of the Vagabond design.
		The PA-17 version featured dual controls to enable it to be used for pilot training, and also had revised undercarriage.

		Here is one of the Aeroplanes that I owned, a Piper Vagabond PA 17, it was acquired as a template from which to copy the parts that were missing on the Vagabond that I was rebuilding.
		Here is the Vagabond PA 15 that I also owned and that I rebuilt in my workshop at home to a PA 17 from a bare framed wreck that missed many pieces including undercarriage, all control levers and pedals as well as engine and engine mount.
		Both of the wings had large portions of the leading edge badly damaged.

	Piper High Wings
		The name “Vagabond” is applied to two different Piper designations, the PA-15 and the PA-17.
		It was Piper’s attempt to build a three-passenger airplane and they came close, as long as the back passengers are slim of butt and like each other a lot.
		All high-wing Pipers have steel tube airframes that are 40 to 60 years old and this is something to consider when buying one.

	Piper Vagabond
		The predecessor to the "Vagabond", the PA-14 was developed in just six short weeks to meet the demands of the consumer, and the PA-17 was further developed to fit the bill.
		Later variations of the "Vagabond" were the "Clipper", the "Pacer", the "Tri-Pacer" and the "Colt".

		The PA-20 Pacer is a four-place, high-wing light aircraft that was built by Piper Aircraft in the post-World War II period.

		In 1947 it was Panic City in every airframe manufacturing plant and the order came down from Piper management to build the cheapest, two-place general-use airplane they could and to do it using nothing but materials already on hand and as little of that as possible.

	Alaska Chapter, Short Wing Piper Club
		The aircraft family includes the PA-15 and PA-17 (Vagabond); PA-16 (Clipper); PA-20 (Pacer); and PA-22 (TriPacer and Colt).
		Because of this relaxation, the flight lines at most of our events are populated by SPAM Cans (Cessna 150s, 170s, 172s, 182s, 185s; Beechraft Twin Bonanzas, Cherokees, and an Aerospatiale Rallye to name a few); Long Wing Pipers; and other rag-and-tube constructed airmachines.
		The ALASKA CHAPTER is a small part of the much larger international SHORT WING PIPER CLUB whose mission is to provide a forum for those of us who own, or wished we owned, one of the family of simplest,most cost effective, efficient, and fun-to-fly aircraft manufactured by the Piper Aircraft Corporation from 1948 to 1963.
