Welcome to Clack’s Workshop – a place to share my love of engineering design and creation. The main focus for this website is to document the adventure of building and flying my own experimental aircraft but it will also include other projects and experiences.
The aircraft I have selected is the Pietenpol “Air Camper” – a two-seat parasol wing aircraft designed in 1929 by Bernard H. Pietenpol of Cherry Grove, Minnesota. The aircraft is designed to be simple but reliable and can be built at home, using common tools, by just about anyone.
Please follow along on my journey to build and fly this piece of aviation history.
