Rick,I've only seen the FGM version of the Sky Scout plans, so this is only speculation,but I doubt that the other version is drawn to suit the lighter Continentalengines. I bet the plans he got from the Pietenpol family were drawn beforethe Continental engines were even built. My guess is that the differences areakin to the difference between the FGM version and the Orrin Hoopman versionof the Air Camper plans. The Hoopman plans are identified as the "improved"Air Camper, which gives a little bit more room for pilot and passenger. I wouldsuggest checking the dates on both sets of plans, and go with the later version(most likely the plans from the Pietenpol family).Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Corvair cowl
