Wow! That's impressive!!
I've been an aircraft mechanic for almost 30 years, I'm always impressed with guys like you that think nothing of slapping together an old bird like this in their backyard barns. That's maintenance! That's the core of aviation right there.
Good on you for being one of those guys that just doesn't think twice about the amount of work and attention to detail building one of these requires! Can't wait to see it done.
Can I make a suggestion on the livery?
Josef Jacobs! That would look amazing! Please not another MvR... or Jasta 11. Would be great to see something totally different!
Joseph Mai - Jasta 5 (which WAS a Jasta 11 crate painted over into Jasta 5 colors)
Or anyone from Jasta 26
