What is Wings
Over Piper?
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
|
Wings Over Piper is an annual event
for Radio Controlled Aircraft Enthusiasts
to come to the birthplace of the
Piper Cub (Lock Haven, Pennsylvania)
to fly their airplane on the Piper
field. This is the same airport
that supported the Piper Aircraft
Corporation in Lock Haven during
the operation of the assembly plant.
While all radio controlled aircraft
are welcome to fly, the goal of
Wings Over Piper is to assemble
and fly as many model Piper Cubs
as possible. As shown in the photo
below, we had a large number of
cubs assembled at the 2004 event
ranging from small electrics to
1/3rd scale models, as well as several
full scale airplanes. An even greater
number of model cubs is expected
and encouraged for each year's event. |

In addition to open R/C aircraft
flying, there are often large
scale Cub flying demonstrations.
If you or your club are
interested in demonstrating your
mastery of the Piper Cub, please
please visit our
Contacts Page.
If time allows, there may be limited
aerobatic demonstrations with other
model aircraft. The
Piper Aviation Museum will be
open for tours. See the
Activities
Page for more information. |

|
Even though
this is a Piper oriented event featuring
the Cub, participation is in no
way limited to Cub owners. We encourage
you to bring and fly any airworthy
aircraft. All aircraft will be subject
to inspection before flight.
A.M.A. membership/insurance,
including any aircraft specific
waivers, is required to fly at this
event. Proof of membership is required. |

There will
be primitive camping and motor home
parking available on site. For those
who prefer to stay in a hotel, please
visit the
Clinton County Economic Partnership's
Dining and Lodging Page. Because
of the time proximity of this event
to the Clinton County Fair, we encourage
you to make any arrangements as
early as possible. Parking for full-scale
aircraft will be available. |
