Tom, the high wing turboprops are Aerocomp CA-7's. I've never been able to find a 3-view for any of the Aerocomp bushplanes, so I had to draw my own 3-view from photos (it needs to be cleaned up, though, or better yet drawn in autocad to make it useful for competition purposes). I then drew a set of plans straight off the 3-view, enlarging the tail surfaces to make it more flyable. Somewhere I've got those plans, but can't locate them right now. Correction...I've got the hard copies, but I can't find the files where I scanned them.

I've been out flying the big one the past few days, and it's even more of a rocket now than before now that the warps are set and locked in by the structure.

Jim was kind enough to show it to me once. Very nice workmanship.

Another Peck Polymers Pietenpol. I still need to finish the engine and lettering.
The wood in the kit is good quality. The wheels are from a Nowlen Aero kit. I'm just borrowing them for the pictures

Did you use Peck Domestic tissue? Looks great

A WIP Peck Polymer Andreason

1st stick and tissue in 15 years and probably only buit 5 in my life time.

3rd attempt at building this aeroplane. It is a bit of a tricky one. This is the farthest I have ever got on this one. I probably should have started with an easier one

Not very well 10 to 15 seconds. I never spent much time flying it because it did not look very hopeful.
