Any one know of a large size Pietenpol kit or ARF? Maybe 25% or so. I have an OS IL300 that needs a home.

Thanks!

Used to be two prominent Pietenpol products. The Sky Camper and the Sky Scout. One was powered by a Model T engine the other by a Model A engine. Had a friend here build up one of the latter types about ten years ago from old plans.

cfv,
Airage has a plan available. FSP12981 X12980 from R/C store for $19.95. Cut your own parts or have a laser cutter do it for you. This plan has a 80" span.

The old Pietenpol was hangared at Rialto Airport and used a modified Model B Ford engine. The engine had to be certifyed and was done so via some person in Arizona (for free).

Jim Seigmund of S.B. knows Howard and exactly where the ahngar is at. he is now retired from Riverside County. I saw the plan once and was not a lot of information on each sheet.

Some whre in the storage have a small kit proabably 30 yrs old or more
Maybe 30"-40" WS
If you don't come up with something, maybe could copy for you.

With such a nice engine buy some full scale plans and make a super scale airplane and take it to Top Gun.
I know someone who has 2 full scale that he built; one with a Ford engine and another with a Kinner radial.

There were at least two kits of the Pietenpol produced and they are as follows:

House of Balsa 65" WS 3 channel.

Bob Martin 63 3/4" WS 4 channel.

I realize they are not the 1/4 scale you are looking for, but perhaps you could enlarge the plans and part patterns. Just trying to help!!

Thanks for the info! All info is good. And yes, no matter the plans, I will have to get em enlarged. Quarter scale is actually too small I realized. With the inline OS 300 I am going to need to blow the plans up to at least 1/3 scale. That big flat bottom wing will develop a TON of lift!

July 1982 RC Modeler had a !/4 scale Air Camper plan 84 1/2 wingspan designedby Gene Wallock. House of Balsa later kitted this plane, very nice kit , hope to build mine someday

Don at H.O.B had two more kit sized plans. As many of the ones by this firm, I did several of the plans for him a few years back in Autocad. I do not know if they were any sort of sales sucess or not.

Check the AMA plans listing, for some reason I think they have a 1/3 scale Aircamper. Please let me know if you do up a set of plans for a 1/3 scale sky scout, I would be interested. Don't know if it is mentioned above but the EAA also has Flying manuals for around 1929 - 1933 so some years about then. The manuals have complete articles on building the Sky Scout and the Aircamper so they would be something to have if you really want to do a super scale model. Let me know if interested and I will see about bgetting copies of the articles.

Go to this link at the AMA plans service:
http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/p...fs/p-plans.pdf

It loads a PDF document and on page 21 or there about they list plans for an Air Camper with 112 inch span.

The Air Camper was really a small plane wasnt it? Even at 1/3 scale, the engine I have is too big.

The full size one is about 7/8 of a Cub.
