The LoCamp design is now produced by one of Aerolab's original dealers, Golden Age Aeroworks, LLC of Richland Center, Wisconsin, United States.
Design and development The LoCamp is intended to resemble a 1930s style light aircraft. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with polycarbonate windscreens, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the wing built from wood or optionally aluminium sheet and its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its span wing employs a NACA 4416 airfoil, has an area of and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the Rotec R2800 four-stroke radial engine, although the Walter Mikron MIIIC was under evaluation by the manufacturer.
In 2015 the manufacturer was considering producing a fully assembled special light-sport aircraft version.
