The RagWing RW11 Rag-A-Bond is a two seat, high wing, strut-braced, conventional landing gear, single engine homebuilt aircraft designed by Roger Mann and sold as plans by RagWing Aircraft Designs for amateur construction.[1][2][3][4]

The RW11 is a replica of the Piper PA-15 Vagabond.[1][2][3]

Design and development

The RW11 was designed for the US experimental homebuilt aircraft category or as a US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles two-seat ultralight trainer and first flown in 1996.[1][2][3]

The airframe is constructed entirely from wood and covered with aircraft fabric. The landing gear is of conventional configuration with bungee suspension. The cabin is internally 42 in (107 cm) wide and drooped STOL style wingtips are optional. The aircraft's installed power range is 52 to 100 hp (39 to 75 kW) and the standard engine is the 52 hp (39 kW) Rotax 503, although the 70 hp (52 kW) 2si 690 and 73 hp (54 kW) Subaru EA-81 engines have also been used.[1][2][3]

The RW11 is only offered as plans and the designer estimates it will take 500 hours to complete the aircraft.[1][2][3][4]
