V Square PietenPol Sky Scout 1/4 Scale
Rare V Square brand Kit of the PietenPol Sky Scout 1/4 Scale.
Meticulously built with great detail , hand made brass fittings, pull pull on rudder and elevator. Built in differential on ailerons.
Fabric and painted covering, HiTec Servos, Saito 100 4 stroke engine.
82" Wingspan.
HISTORY:
The Sky Scout was designed by Bernard Pietenpol in the 1920s and was intended for home construction by the amateur builder using readily available materials, ie wood and fabric, and using a 15 kw (20 hp) Ford Model T or 30 kw (40 hp) Model A engine as a power plant. The Sky Scout with the Model T Ford engine was a single-seat aircraft built in 1931 but the power limitations of the engine were quite severe. With the advent of the more powerful Model A Ford engine in 1932, this was more commonly used. American records indicate only a few Model A powered Scouts were built, the original prototype and a couple of replicas. The Sky Scout has several structural and dimensional differences, being developed by Mr Pietenpol as a completely new design.
