Ha, the old Pietenpol and what a loverly looking example too. What are the spec's on that bird?
The funny thing is, I actually have a HK Pietenpol (old sample from previous job) that I'm in the middle of converting to run on an OS 20FS, but I havn't worked on it for a while, so thanks for the inspiration, I might just pull it out again before the weekends up.

1/4 scale. Right now cutting 2 kits to build. The one pictured was a test build to check all the build specs to make sure it would fly right. Made a few changes and on to the next phase. Everything on the plane is fabricated in house landing gear , wheels and so on. Been a fun project. I'll do a build thread here on HS when I start the next one.

Thanks for the compliments guys I will pass them along to Don.
That's the plan right now. The guy I'm working with is the designer and fabricator. I'm just the " we should do this or that" guy. He downloaded plans off the net and started cutting wood and fabricating all all the rest. Why because he was bored and looking for a challenge. I've got a bunch of video form the second day of test flights and am working on combining them into one video I'll post when I remember how to do it. Since this is a home-built there's a ton of variations out there so there is no "wrong" as far as scale. I'm learning so much from Don he's one very smart creative guy.

Great looking Air Camper! The Pat Trittle version was my first build when I got back into the hobby. Would be nice if the wire wheels were made available.Comment

Wow, that is some model, even better seeing them 'naked' before the covering. Great craftsman ship, really, its an interesting build. When did you say it would fly?

Already did 2 test rounds. After the 1st we made a motor incidence change along with a wing incidence change. Second round went great. So another kit is are being cut I'll build one that one and document the build.

Sorry Mike, only just got back to checking this thread but happy I did, seems to go nice from what little we could see. Did you have a full flight vid in the works?

All the video I have is terrible. I need to set up a day where we actually make a good attempt at filming. I was supposed to be assembling a kit by now but the designer decided to give me a RTC ( ready to cover ) version incorporating all the changes we made. I'll do a video explaining them while before I cover it.

Hey mike, OK, interested to see more.
In the mean time, I recently got my Gemini 160 twin running how it should, next step is to work on the install in my Fokker D8.

Nice motor. I should have some updates pretty quick.

The Air Camper is looking good Mike.
That motor should haul that D8 around pretty good Stuart.
My 1/3 scale D8 is about ready again after the motor/ESC change out. Need to finish a mod to the tail skid suspension and CG it again.Comment

Hi, I found your post from 2015 where you mention building a Pica Shoofl-BI. I am new to the sport and purchased this kit recently at an auction. Kit is complete with instructions but no plans were included. Would you still have the plans and would you be willing to sell and post to me in Australia. This is my first build (I have only started flying recently with a foam trainer). I am 66 years old love aviation and only now as a retiree can I start in this hobby. Any help would be able to give would be great. thanks FrankComment
