Anyone have about 10 grand I can borrow?

I don't like new aircraft. I hate jets, don't like the new "high tech" building materials. Pretty much anything built since 1945 is an abomination as far as I'm concerned.

Give me wood and canvas, a 100Hp rotary with castor oil, and a pair of goggles and leather flying jacket, and I could soar off to the heavens and vanish from the earth with a smile on my face and no regrets.

I like $500 hamburgers from the Bahamas.

If I'm reading it correctly those kits don't come with an engine.  Where would you get the engine/prop and how much would that add to the total cost of the plane?

 That Nieuport link is something else and the price is awesome , they have motors for sale in the link , I wonder can you dogfight in the thing . And is performance equal of the original planes . Great post and very interesting .

It is cheap though, 10000 for that, ...
