- VH-UCP/NX12941 Pietenpol Sky Scout B4A1 owned by Bert Filippi, at the Sport Aircraft Builders Club (SABC) Annual Fly In, Serpentine Airfield, Western Australia – 23 October 2022. Built in 1932, MSN 12, registered NX12941, then N12941. Registered to Bert Filippi on 20 October 2005 as VH-UCP. Bernard H. Pietenpol designed the Pietenpol Air Camper, which first flew in 1928. He also designed and published plans for a single-seat version, the Pietenpol Sky Scout, which was smaller and powered by a Ford Model T car engine. The aircraft is made of spruce and plywood, and building requires basic woodworking skills and tools, plus the ability to make a few metal fittings to attach the wooden parts together.
