Harve Applegate has almost completed the recover/rebuild of the newest addition to their family fleet, a Piper Vagabond.
2010 saw Harve fulfill a long held desire to own a Vagabond with the purchase of PA-15, N4304H. Ben Taylor accomplished an engine change, from 65 hp Lycoming to a Continental A-65, last May and the Applegate's spent the spring/summer/fall enjoying their new airplane.
Then after the good flying weather was over for the year the Vagabond was torn down for recover and upgrade.
N4304H is almost ready to fly once again and we had a chance to look over the "new and improved" Vagabond on a visit to Applegate Airport (near Queen City, MO) earlier this week. We look forward to seeing Harve and Matt winging into Antique Airfield soon.
