In 1954, Mechanics Illustrated published plans for the Baby Ace, a Pitenpol look-alike, but a more up-to-date parasol, along with instruction for mounting a 65 hp Continental, a modern (for those years) engine. The engine and the cowl and gas tank were designed to be installed in a way similar to that of the Piper Cub. The fuselage of the Baby Ace had a welded steel frame. Wood formers were attached to the frame to give the fuselage his its turtledeck an off-the-frame sides and bottom. The Baby Ace's simple Cub-style landing gear had the same kind of bungee shock absorbers as that of the Cub and the plane had steereable tailwheel.
I like to think there's a club of early homebuilders, who have long since gone to that great big flyng field up in the sky. I bet they're real happy there's a whole new generation of modelers who also love to build and fly parasol-type aircraft like this Baby Ace.
