| Subject: | Larger Pietenpol Drawings |
I bought the complete set of plans for the Aircamper because there a so many excellent
examples of good looking completed projects. I then realized my large
body size, 260 and 6' 3", would not easily fit this aircraft.
I've heard tales about the builder plans having been increased to provide a larger
cockpit and more lift. I cannot find any source to confirm these stories.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Todd

Todd,
My fuselage is 2" wider and 3" deeper from plans. I'm 6' 4" and fit in it reasonably
comfortablely. I've sat in it lots but haven't flown yet so jury is still
out, sort of.
Good luck on your project.
