Shell out a mere two grand and you can build yourself your very own operating airplane. Back in 1928, Bernard H. Pietenpol decided everybody should have the option of personal flight. So Pietenpol drew up the plans for the Pietenpol AirCamper, and guess what? His family is still selling the plans for it.
Interested in building this classic model? First check out hobbyist Chuck Gantzer's site. He shares his step-by-step building process of the Pietenpol AirCamper here.
