This was taken at Brodhead, WI. during the Pietenpol Fly-in 2010. The airplane was built by Gary Karner, Bill Liimentainen and Fred Gustafson. Flown here by Chad Wille.
The water pump is a standard aftermarket pump commonly used on Model T Ford engines in cars. It will fit the Model A engine as well and is sometimes used instead of the regular Model A pump. I believe this custom radiator was made by Forrest Lovley some years ago but not sure of that.
I build custom propellers for antique airplanes - St. Croix Propellers. I have built scores of these props over the last 30 years so can help you directly.
Greetings, all. Orrin Hoopman here. Perhaps you recognize the name from the Pietenpol plans drawn by my grandfather. I have just run across some pics of the original single seat B-4-T 10718 taken ca.1932. Anybody interested in them?
Can anyone help me find a propellor for a sky scout with model A engine. It should be the same as for the air camper, a 78 x 42 prop. I can't find a source. Are their plans for this prop anywhere?
The ladies propeller starting technique is not so good. Not as she is moving back she leans forward. I think accepted practice is to use the right leg, swing it somewhat across in front of the body and as you pull the prop down you throw leg back across pulling you away from the airplane.

What a nice looking plane... what is the VNE on the Sky Scout... good candidate for a corvair...

I AM LIKE YOU KREATION.FROM INDONESIA
Clean an beauty!
This is Model A Ford powered. I only know of one Sky Scout, the original of 1933, that has ever used the Model T.
Answered my questions, thanks
The single seat, Model T powered aircraft was the B-4-T, grand-daddy of all Sky Scouts. I have pics of it, when it was new...

Air camper, Was Model A or B engine Two seat Sky Scout was Model T powered.
Beautiful. Where did you get the retro looking instruments? I'd like some for my Aircamper
They are not retro looking, they are original. Typically purchased from other collectors and through ads.
I need to find some like it. Thanks@@stcroixair

Do you have any video of the Aerial flying?
No. All done long before the digital age.
Nice work if you can get it !
