There is a company in Austraila that makes those engines brand new with better materials. I love to watch planes from the ground!

Really? Rotary engines? You're not mixing it up with the Rotec radial engines?

And why on earth would you want brand new engines when you can fly with the original ones?... ;-)

Now that's something really special. Thanks.

One....modern metallurgy

Two....modern machining technology.

Three....if it's you're ass up in the air, what would you rather have... A 100-year old engine made by....whom?? or a new-manufacture unit made and assembled by an ISO-9001 certified company using modern metals machined on CNC tooling?

Bra flygplan ! :D

Tack så mycket för den video :)

Sory if my Swedish is bad , im learning :)

the original ones are mega bucks. and i take it that the newer engines are safer. i kinda agree with you though. if you are going with authenticity, stay with the original.

I read about the Gnome-Bleriot union for many years but this is the first time I seen a Gnome in a actual Bleriot running, just the way it was back in the pre-WWI days. Great! thanx

I'm moving to the Philippines next year where there are many good craftsman and timber available at low prices I'm looking a experianced builder/designer of these type of aircraft who is interest in suppling airframes for export at a affordable.

The more of these aircraft we can see flying the better
