We are having difficulty gluing our wing and would like some advice on what to do. If you have any bluprints and/or pictures to share on this process it would be appreciated. We are also needing some input for installation of the flight deck. You can reach me at email address posted or on the blog for team indy.

Kinda makes you wonder why biplanes were so popular! Good job - it is nice to see the progress. Building all those ribs – and then the rib stiching them when they get coverd.

Kansas City had better look out. They got some fabric on first, but seem to have slowed down. Looks great to see some fabric on the project. Kansas City had better look out.

APSS is currently building to original plans a Sopwith 9400. We have completed 3 wings,Tail emponnage and we are well on with the fuselage. Phots's todate are on our website www,apss.org.uk. We intend to fit a Rotec 3600 engine instead of the Rotary engine as per original. Rotary engines are not considered environmentaly friendly these days. Please contact us and we can maybe share experiences with the build.

I built a third scale model of l'Escadrille 156 from scratch and pics from La Ferte Alais 12 years ago which I sold, unfortunately. Now I am in the process of building the same model again. I would be interested in any pictures you might want to share! Be it the replica or the model! Oh, by the way: the model in your pic has Polish (!) markings - not Belgian. All the best!

I built one for a ford engine but don't know how to wire it. Could you send me a schematic? Thank you, How did you wire your engine test stand?

I hope you promised that it would be flying by the next Dayton fly-in. Good Job! Keep up the good work.
