Bridging Model and Full-Scale Flight

Post by Keith Huckle »

Hello everyone!

I’m a big fan of the Pietenpol Air Camper, and recently I’ve started building an RC model of this iconic aircraft. I’m using some Dynam RC plane components to help bring the design to life, including their motors, servos, and possibly the wings and control surfaces. https://www.dynamrc.com/ Iand I’m curious if anyone here has experience with combining Dynam components with the Pietenpol Air Camper design.

I have a few questions I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

Has anyone else here built an RC version of the Pietenpol Air Camper?
When building RC aircraft, what are the most important design considerations? (e.g. airfoil shape, weight distribution, power system, etc.)
Any tips or advice for building and flying an RC model of the Pietenpol?
I’d also love to share my progress with you all and get some feedback as I go. Looking forward to hearing from others with similar interests!

Thanks in advance for your insights!
