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.
I have been
scanning and posting excerpts
from my collection of AAM and AM, concentrating on model
building articles and old advertisements. 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."
- WikipediaThe AMA Plans Service offers a full-size version of plans at a very reasonable cost. They will scale the plans any size for you. Try out my
Scale Calculator for Model Airplane Plans.
