  • Page 31 Congratulations! Once you’ve completed your first flights, you will have noticed that the Stevens AeroModel Pietenpol Sky Scout UM is a very stable model airplane. When built straight, and trimmed for level flight, it should readily return to “wings level” from any attitude. When flying, we never miss an opportunity to allow an onlooker to get a little “stick-time”.
