Campbell Model H
An attempt to emulate the rather obscure Campbell Model F of 1930s vintage.
VTOL down fully and use full THROTTLE to take off. Steering correction needed on runway; it drifts right a bit. Once aloft, VTOL centre and use PITCH while speed builds. Cruise at 80% THROTTLE and use TRIM as needed.
Landing approach best at 5% THROTTLE and VTOL half way down. Cut THROTTLE just before touchdown.
AG1 operates the throw-over yoke: idea is that the passenger can practice-fly the plane to get a feel, but instruments are all on the pilot's side.
I tried to emulate the overall concept of the Model F but didn’t go for a replica. Main shape is similar, the undercarriage is a bit longer and the cockpit is completely different. Interiors are super-tricky! The radiator tunnel is different from the real one.
Spent ages on the glazed sections and it gave me headaches trying different methods! The rotators on the yoke tend to rattle a bit.

And…I never thought to add a trim lever to the cockpit. Doh.
@Hikikomori , Yes, it must have been complicated to achieve .
Thanks! Very fiddly doing the cockpit and glazing!@Trainzo
Original plane , great build .
@Hikikomori Flivver.
Also, thanks. My YT subs are getting boring, been looking for something new/different.
I found this plane on a new YouTube channel called tales from the hut and hangar. There are lots more obscure machines on there.@Kerbango
Underrated as hell, I love egg planes
I like obscure.
@Hikikomori np man, it's a good plane
Never thought of that! I just threw it together somehow! Thanks for the vote.@RepublicofWrightIsles
Looks like a B-29 Cockpit on a P-38
