Why not go the
whole hog and build a 100% replica??


Those Merlins are just a bit too pricey... not that the 80% scale model is
cheap.


Bob DeFord in Prescott Az just finished a full size Spitfire replica. It has a
wooden wing and metal fuselageand is powered by a Allison engine swinging a
DC-3 prop.


I suppose it's just ignorance, but what's a DC-3 prop? I always thought they
used Hamilton Standard hydraulic ones.
