I'd order one if they would put the second "d" in rudder on their order form.

Need something to do up here on days off in the winter. Besides shovel snow.

400 hours is a very short time to build an airplane.  While the airplanes pictured here are quite simple by airplane standards the very popular RV's by Vans Aircraft can easily go north of 2000 hours of build time.

I'd get one if for no othere ason than its the only way I'll ever own a fighter (replica it may be, but its still based on a fighter). Two of my three favorite WWI fighters are Nieuports that they offer as kits on their site- the 17-24 models (basically the same, just different engines and gun packages) and the 28 that the USAS used.

My other is the Albatros, which I can't find a kit of on any of the sites that offer WWI kits.

I even have my paint scheme picked out if I were to get one. Nungesser.

No doubt.

But doing it would cost me 400 hours of time (may as well call it 4,000 hours for me as I don't get along well with tools), $10,000 and a divorce.

The 400 (or 4,000) hours and $10,000 is a drop in the bucket compared to what a divorce would cost me.

400 hours to build and 40 hours in the air you decide you would rather have a pressurized cockpit and two engines with 1000 mile range or so...

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.

This would be a geat time.

I used to volunteer 24-400 hours a year as a reserve deputy sheriff... it really isnt that long.  One could stretch it out over 2 years and still it would be worth it.

I enjoy flying now, but renting an airplane is up to $75 an hour now.
