Hi,
Im a R/Cer too. i believe the plane might be a Petenol, or closer spelling. its been awhile since ive seen it published. is it a parasol wing type? ie, theres only 1 wing, and its up above the fuse? and its an open cockpit? wish i had a better spelling. im sure theres one in one of the plan services from RCM or MAN magazines...
sorry, couldnt be of more help...

Ron F.

Thanks for the quick reply Ron. When I bought the plane, the seller told me it was a pete like in pete and paul like in paul? Yes the single wing over the open cockpit. The correct spelling will be of great help. Thanks again Bill

The plane you are talking about is a 1930 homebuilt that is still popular today. Originals used a Ford model T engine. Correct spelling is Pietenpol. The single seater was called a Scout and the 2 seater a Air-Camper.
