The Wag-A-Bond was the second homebuilt replica of a Piper product from parts supplier Wag-Aero. The aircraft was built to provide a side-by-side product following success of the tandem seat Wag-Aero CUBy.
The Wag-a-Bond was initially a replica of Piper's Vagabond aircraft. The Wag-A-Bond Traveler is based on the Vagabond, but has several modifications. This featured a larger engine installation between 108–115 hp engines, and accommodation for camping gear. The Traveler has doors on both sides of the cabin and two wing-mounted fuel tanks with a small header tank. The wings are the same as the Wag-Aero Acro Trainer.[4] The original Wag-a-Bond design is marketed as the Wag-a-Bond Classic.
Wag-Aero company president Dick Wagoner flew the Wag-a-Bond for the first time on June 9, 1978.[4]
