Well, just superb! Absolute best of luck with this marvelous adventure.
I have to wonder, were I to build a replica machine, would I not also
elect to do a Pfalz D.XII. Great machine. Though, I hope you don't mind
my saying that completion in 5-6 years seems a little optimistic [*gulp*]!!

Ah, well, greatness takes time.... Erik
