Aeronca K

The Aeronca Model K Scout is an American light airplane first marketed in 1937, and was the true successor to the popular C-2 and C-3 line. Unveiled in January 1937 as a replacement for the C-3, it kept the same Aeronca E-113 two-cylinder engine but gave up the bathtub fuselage and wire-braced wings for a more conventional look, with strut-braced wings and a fully enclosed cockpit seating two side by side. Later in 1937 versions with four-cylinder Continental and Franklin engines appeared as the KC and CF, and the KCA with the Continental A-50 was later developed into the slightly larger Aeronca 50 Chief. A total of 357 Model K Scouts were built.
