Aeronca K

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aeronca Model K Scout was a US light plane first marketed in 1937, the true successor to the popular C-2/C-3 line. Powered by a dual-ignition Aeronca E-113C engine, the Model K Scout brought the Aeronca design up to modern aviation standards. Eliminating the Aeronca's traditional “bathtub” appearance, the Scout featured a strut-braced wing with a fully enclosed cockpit seating two side-by-side. A total of 357 Aeronca Model K Scouts were built.
