    Description

    I AM NOT SELLING A KIT
    ,
    only a new, full-size copy of the
    PLAN
    for Krieser's 60" RC
    PIETENPOL AIR CAMPER
    & his
    construction
    article
    to build one for yourself.
    This great RC flying model was published in
    Grid Leaks
    in 1965
    . It calls for .29-.40 glow engines and a 3-channel RC. Personal experience in RC flying shows that a parasol wing design like this one is super-stable in flight. It has enough wing dihedral for the model to roll out into level flight from a tight turn. This is why a homebuilder’s kit in the 1920s & 30s for the plane using a 40-hp Ford Model-A engine was so very popular.
    I have a large packet of original documents for the
    PIETENPOL AIR CAMPER.
    As a
    BONUS
    I include a copy of a very nice cutaway from Sport Pilot & Ultralights 1998. This Douglas Rolfe drawing of “Yesterday’s Homebuilts” would look great framed over your workbench. To top that, I also include full scale data 4-view drawings and detail showing the converted Ford Model-A engine installation most commonly used in the
    PIETENPOL AIR CAMPER.
    You’ll not find a more thorough and complete offering.
