No, but I know they did hire a mill to reproduce the muslin with the exact
weight and thread count, find someone who would hand make an exact replica
of the propeller, find someone to make an exact replica of the engine,
make all of the fitting by hand and nickle plate them ...... The list
goes on. I've been to Ken Hyde's workshop/hangar and it's amazing.
