Light-Sport Aircraft Yahoo group Re: PA-15/17

I stand corrected on the Piper model the Wag-A-Bond was designed to duplicate. I was away from any of my reference material and didn't bother to check it on the web. The fact is the Wag-A-Bond has the baggage area that the original poster was looking for, and if they are willing to build, the plane can be licensed at a lower gross wt. than what the plans called for, thus placing it in the light sport operating range.

If I recall he also had done an engine upgrade....I think it had a Continental C85-12F with electric start. I probably have a snapshot of that plane somewhere in my old photos.
