Just read through, I´m utterly amazed of the skill, craftsmanship and dedication this shows.

A truly beautiful car, and now I have another color in the mix for when I get my ass (and wife) around to building a kit. What color white is it? It seems a tad warmer than just flat white.

I've just read this build and am very impressed.

Where are you from in Germany? I'm currently living and working in the Regensburg area.

Your details are amazing. I love the fact that you shared in such details the fabrication of the chassis. I've built three aircraft (Piper Cubs) and your build has inspired me to do it myself instead of buying a kit.

Thanks,

I'm born and raised in Baden-Baden. I love the Cubs and they are cool airplanes.

Here comes some unsolicited advice, don't reinvent the wheel. Many builder build stuff which you can buy for fair money and lack on the good stuff.

So that said, Merry Christmas and good luck with your build



PS: we all enjoy the build threats --- please open one when you start

Thanks!

I'm here in Germany for at least another year, so no build thread for me for awhile.



For now, research.
