Hi folks. I've come to a point in my life where I would like to have a "legacy" build. This would be something that gets passed on after I go for its historical more than sentimental or financial value. I would like to build a pioneer aircraft with good flying characteristics, but there are too many choices and too little information. I've got 2D/3D CAD design skills, along with laser cutting and CNC in my background-though I hope to do as much hand-work as possible. I've also built a few (miniature) IC engines from scratch, so I'm not afraid of tackling that aspect as well.
I live less than an hour from the Rhinebeck Aerodrome, so I'm thinking I would have at least one field that would welcome me on a regular basis.
My top choices:
Bleriot XI
Blackburn Type D
Demoiselle
Antoinette
Dormoy Bathtub
Curtiss Type D
Farman "Carte Postale"
I prefer the pioneer aircraft over the more "reliable" craft of the 20's and later. LOL
Enough about me, what do are your thoughts?
Thanks!
