Summary[edit]

Description
English: In 1940 Paul H. Knepper from Tamaqua, PA, built the ‘Crusader’ as a prototype for a training plane that he had planned to commercially produce in Lehighton. The two-seater featured an innovative tricycle landing gear with a wheel under its nose that prevented the tail from dragging upon landing.

Although advanced for its day the Crusader was never commercially produced as WWII forced a halt in the manufacture of commercial aircraft.

In 1990 friends of Paul Knepper restored the Crusader and donated it to the State Museum of Pennsylvania.
Nederlands: In 1940 bouwde Paul H. Knepper het prototype van de Ka1 'Crusader', een trainingsvliegtuig dat hij dacht te produceren in Lehighton, Pa. de tweezitter had een vernieuwend driewielig onderstel, zodat er geen staartsleep was.

Hoewel het toestel vooruitstrevend was, werd het, vanwege WO II, nooit commercieel gebouwd.

In 1990 restaureerden de vrienden van Paul Knepper het toestel en schonken het aan het State Museum of Pennsylvania
