Pietenpol Air Camper Plans

August 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

[Table of Contents]
Aircraft modeling has undergone significant changes over the decades - both in technology and preferences. Magazines like American Aircraft Modeler, and American Modeler before that, were the best venues for capturing snapshots of the status quo of the day. Still, many things never change, so much of the old content is relevant to today's modeler.

Whether you are here to wax nostalgic, or are just interested in learning history, hopefully you will find what you are seeking. As time permits, I will be glad to scan articles for you. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

Here are plans for the Pietenpol Air Camper that I electronically scanned from my purchased copy of the August 1969 American Aircraft Modeler magazine. You might be able to scale up this image below if you cannot find suitable plans for sale. Plans for this fine model were drawn by Mr. Robert Parks & Peter Bowers. All copyrights (if any) are hereby acknowledged.

"The Pietenpol Air Camper is a simple homebuilt aircraft designed by Bernard H. Pietenpol. The first prototype that became the Air Camper was built and flown by Pietenpol in 1928." - Wikipedia

Airplanes and Rockets - Pietenpol Air Camper Plans from August 1969 American Aircraft Modeler

Notice:
The AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of many of the plans show here at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. It is always best to buy printed plans because my scanner versions often have distortions that can cause parts to fit poorly. Purchasing plans also help to support the operation of the Academy of Model Aeronautics - the #1 advocate for model aviation throughout the world.
