Bought my first tailwheel aircraft at the end of March.
Previously owned a Cessna 150 and 150 Aerobat. Got checked out in the PA-17 Vagabond earlier this week and having lots of fun flying it. Has dual controls and pilot hydraulic toe brakes with Ceconite cover. Home base airport has 2000' & 2400' grass strips. This Vagabond has a C-85 FAA Field Approved installation with metal propeller and no electrical system. It has a 12 gallon tank. Seeing indicated about 80 to 85MPH @ 2000RPM & 90 to 95MPH @ 2200RPM, 2000MSL. Power off stall is 45MPH and gross weight is 1150 pounds.
Really like this airplane!!!!!!!!
