Piper PA-17 Vagabond for Sale — Trainer Vagabond
The Piper PA-17 Vagabond Trainer is the dual-control training variant of the PA-15 Vagabond concept — incorporating full dual flight controls to make the economical two-seat side-by-side design suitable for primary flight instruction. The PA-17's dual controls, combined with the Continental A-65 engine and the side-by-side seating that put instructor beside student, created an accessible and economical primary trainer during the postwar flight training boom. The PA-17 represents Piper's effort to serve both the private buyer and the flight school market with a single design whose dual-control capability distinguished it from the PA-15's primarily personal-use specification. Surviving PA-17s are genuinely rare and attract Piper family collectors.
