80% replica? the engine or another parts of the plane are originals?

[dstarks1943]

Nothing is original on the replica. The whole plane is 80% scale.

How good a build is the airdrome aeroplanes sopwith pup

[dstarks1943]

Actually, very simple. It utilizes the popular tube and gusset construction that required NO special tools and can be done by anyone with a drill, pull-riveter and a decent workshop. All the Airdrome Aeroplanes kits are very complete and the directions and plans couldn't bee better.

Wow! If I didn't already have the DR-I I'd certainly build one of these beauties. May anyway when my ship comes in. Ya dun good Rob!

About the way Sharon feels about her Morane. The Morane flies great and is like a mini-cooper with wings. But, that DH2 is one sweet looking and flying machine. Harvey says it's a real pussy cat in the air too. OH well.. "sigh" maybe next year or two.

Great stuff! If there was a plane that could ever compete with the E.III as far as my favorite, this would be it.

I slobber and drool everytime I look at it. It's got incredible visibility!!

I LOVE IT!!!!!! Now I'm wondering if I should stop work on my E.III and build this.

GREAT JOB, Robert!!
