Thank you for keeping early aviation history alive! One of my early memories from the seventies was being at Rhinebeck and seeing the dogfights and the “Black Baron” and his triplane.

10K for fabric and dope! Have mercy, amazing. The cost is staggering. Please, more videos on the re-cover and finishing process and of course the valve repair on that cylinder. 🙂 Love the videos, please, keep them coming, ok?

We will definitely do some videos from the shop showing the work as it progresses. Thanks so much for your support!
