ScaleWings Taps Crewchief Tracking for Builders/Owners

Kit manufacturer ScaleWings Aircraft will deliver all new SW-51 kits with a subscription to the Crewchief Systems digital record-keeping system. Crewchief helps aircraft owners eliminate paper logbooks and track maintenance status.

The ScaleWings 72% scale P-51 Mustang replica SW-51 features an all-composite airframe and Rotax 916iS power with Garmin G3X avionics and a full-airframe parachute.

“ScaleWings is built on the concept of leveraging 21st-century technology to modernize a legacy product,” said ScaleWings CEO Christian von Kessel. “This partnership with Crewchief Systems modernizes the outmoded paper documentation with digital assets, accessible from anywhere, in real time, with high confidence in compliance. This enhances the ownership experience with the same level of innovation and technology our customers appreciate.”

With a Crewchief subscription, ScaleWings owners can keep track of maintenance status, including inspection requirements and any applicable service bulletins or airworthiness directives. The software also supports inventory coordination, parts visibility, and documentation for transferring ownership, and it helps preserve the value of the aircraft.

“ScaleWings is integrating aircraft asset intelligence at the point of production, not as an afterthought,” said Aaron de Zafra, CEO at Crewchief Systems. “With built-in redundancy and version control, operators, owners, and service teams gain clearer maintenance oversight and long-term data integrity.”
