Thank you for purchasing your HobbyKing Pietenpol Aircamper. We hope you enjoy
assembling and flying it as we did creating it. This sport scale model was created in the
true spirit of Bernie Pietenpol, easy to build, and fun to fly.
Like the full size Aircamper, the airframe is all wood, this time balsa and plywood, with
an epoxy fiberglass cowl, aluminum wing mount struts, and wire landing gear. The large
wing area, and light weight makes the Pietenpol Aircamper perfect for those lazy days
at the field, flying low and slow.
HobbyKing aircraft follow an extensive design, development, and testing process to
bring reliable and user friendly products to the masses. They undergo extensive quality
control checks at the factory.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before assembling and flying this model.
It is not a toy and if mistreated has the potential to inflict bodily injury or damage
property. It is your responsibility to complete final assembly, setup, and routine pre-flight
checks. Always make sure to check for any loose screws or parts, and that the airframe
is free from damage that may cause failure in flight. HobbyKing is not responsible for
any injury or property damage inflicted due to negligence in assembly or maintenance.
