N7224X

This entry documents airframe N7224X, a vintage-design homebuilt example of the Pietenpol Air Camper produced by Pietenpol and identified by serial number 003. The aircraft bears a US national registration and is presented as a two-seat tandem example typical of the type. Detailed public records for build year, continuous ownership timeline, operator base, specific registry transactions, and current market valuation are Not published for this individual airframe; available documentation therefore centers on configuration and original manufacture identity.

The airframe is configured in the traditional layout for the design with a two-seat tandem cabin that may be operated in an open or semi-enclosed cockpit form, consistent with the Pietenpol Air Camper lineage. For this specific airframe, detailed avionics fit, instrument suite, and any particular route logs or mission profiles are Not published, but the type is commonly used for local recreational flying, vintage-rally participation, and short cross-country hop flights under visual flight rules. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe follow those typical of wood-and-fabric homebuilt examples; documentation of bespoke amenities, modification history, or maintenance-derived restrictions for N7224X are Not published.

The Pietenpol Air Camper family occupies a recreational, light single-engine niche rooted in early homebuilt aviation, appealing primarily to owner-operators and vintage-aircraft enthusiasts. As a classic tandem two-seater, the type competes in interest and usage against other simple, open-cockpit homebuilts rather than modern factory-built light aircraft. Buyers and operators typically prioritize historical fidelity, ease of basic maintenance, and the social value of community events; resale and airworthiness considerations for this serial 003 example rely heavily on original construction quality, adherence to maintenance records, and any documented modifications, which for N7224X remain Not published.
