Questions for Wag-a-bond owners/pilots. 1) What is the typical cabin width from the inside and 2) what cruise speed is expected using a 125 hp engine.

This AOPA Pilot article should be of interest to you.

I think the Wag-A-Bond, and its short-wing Piper brethren, are among the cutest airplanes around. I wouldn't post them in our "most beautiful aircraft" thread, but they sure are cute.

The cabin width is right around 40” at the hips. Depending on what doors you can make it wider if you choose.
Cruise should be 100-120 with that engine.

My Wag-A-Bond with a 125 hp O-290-G and a Sensenich 47” pitch prop cruises at 103 mph IAS at 2350 rpm at 3000’ msl. It will cruise faster than that but it burns a lot more gas.

thanks to all for your responses. I have been thinking about down sizing to one airplane so doing some research, the wagabond is a good candidate. Would like to see a flying or project if in reasonable distance from Iowa.

I keep mine at the Burlington, WI airport (KBUU). We have three Wag-a-bonds there, including the original Wag-Aero prototype, which is for sale.
