Piper PA-15/17 Vagabond

Description

The Piper PA-15/17 Vagabond is a two-seat, bush plane. It was developed after World War II and it utilized much of the same production tooling that created the famous Piper Cub.

Personal Note

For this build I think I focused to much on the shape of the wing. It have terrible control and handling because I didn't focus too much at it. I procrastinated too much during the creation of this thing. At least it's a milestone as it is my first build to break the 100-parts barrier!

Special Thanks to @Botfinder for tuning the performance!
