Bill, The major differences in the "Improved" Air Camper plans and the F&G plans arein the fuselage and the landing gear. The tailplane is slightly different aswell. Good airplanes have been constructed from either set of plans, and fromthe "long" fuselage which came out much later. Many planes are constructed froma combination of the different versions. My own Air Camper, which flew forthe first time last week, has the long fuselage, the Vi Kapler 3-piece wing,but the original F&G landing gear. Choose what you like and build it. It willstill be a Pietenpol. I doubt if any two of the half dozen or so Air Campersbuilt by BHP were identical.Jack PhillipsRaleigh, NC>
