    I was suprised that you have one of these Campers. I found a used one thats in great shape. When I was a kid there was a club of old pilots that stored their old planes... in various states of rebuilding in Salem Oregon. Sundays they would fly over the city in a rough formation....mid 60,s. anyway the camper reminded me of the old biplanes. I have a question, is the landing gear strong. It looks stiff and not very forgiving.

    The wheels keep changing in size. Fun video. Nice workmanship -- beautiful airplane (aeroplane).

      They are motorcycle wheels I’m pretty sure. I am the current owner.

    Don't believe you got around to securing the front seat shoulder harnesses.... If you did, they're still "flapping in the wind" tearing up the back rest.... Please do correct me if I'm wrong.... Thanks, Gordon

    Would the cockpit be suitable from someone 6'1", what is the useful load?

      +ddmd80 I am 5"9 and weigh 170 and it was fine for me. My friend flew it and he was 6.0 230 but it was very tight for him.

    i noticed that you changed the tires. Were the skinny tires too rough on the grass field?

    • @Jeff.souders

      +Cameron R Those were the old tires. The skinny tires were the new tires.

    beautiful aircraft - the pilot needs some work on his pre-flight though - first the gloves are blown away by the prop wash, then the front seat belts (including metal buckles) start thrashing around in the cockpit - what else was missed?

      I noticed it wasn't tied down either, bad.

    Not an Air Camper or a GN-1 unless it's not built to plans

      since plans were incomplete, are any of them truly Air campers then? Almost no homebuilts are built 100% to plans. Most certified aircraft today are not built to plans anymore either.
