I recently finished a small plastic model of an RWD-8 and through the whole build I kept thinking about what a great little sport plane it would make. Maybe scale it down just a bit to the size of a Pietenpol, go with an engine installation similar to the Platzer Kiebitz, and maybe all tube-and-gusset construction. Ditch any pretenses of doing aerobatics and I think you’d be left with a nice open cockpit two seater with easy enough entry and exit, and with folding wings! What more could you want?
