Purchased a 1948 PA-17 Vagabond yesterday. This is the third airplane I have owned and first fabric/tailwheel airplane. It has less than 1800 total time. Took this photo in the shop where it had the crankshaft, cam, new slick mags with new harness/plugs, and lifters replaced in the C-85 engine. They also installed new struts along with other work and annual. It has standard tank with no electrical system. Purchased the Vagabond because I like how it looks, wanted to learn how to fly a tail-dragger, and eventually restore.
