Design
Powered by a dual-ignition Aeronca E-113C engine, the Model K Scout brought the Aeronca design up to modern aviation standards. Eliminating the Aeronca's traditional “bathtub” appearance, the Scout featured a strut-braced high wing with a fully enclosed cockpit seating two side-by-side.[1]
A total of 357 Aeronca Model K Scouts were built. 73 Model K were on the U.S. civil aircraft register in May 2009 and several examples are preserved in museums.
