What you find at Rhinebeck is always amazing! That's a 31 inch propeller up front! Wow! It even smelled real!

  • Absolutely fantastic. well done.

  • Nice engine, however have a look at the wing section.....its on backwards!!!

  • I would say the plane body looks similar to an Airco DH.1, but the DH.1 used a Renault V8. The DH.2 had a rotary engine, but not dual cockpits. In any case, it's cool to see people making working model rotary engines.

  • Would love to see this plane fly. Looks great.

    The engine looks a little less messy than a real Gnome.

    And the prop is great, who ever made that did a fantastic job.

  • Sounds like a beast! Just like the real thing.
