Like the aluminum version. A friend of mine has just started a DW-1 build. It is being done in tube and gusset. They are progressing on the fuselage and trying to decide how to construct the wings wood or aluminum.

This is something I'd be interested in, even though some may say "blasphemy!". Not afraid of wood (I've built two wooden aircraft, but a metal Chilton intrigues me.

@VP1 I thought you'd appreciate this photo for a bit of encouragement. Well done on the work so far.

The aluminum wood version my friend is building has taken on a different shape. It will be a 2/3 scale Warhawk. Build started in November.

Been away for a while house shopping. Was hoping I’d end up with a 2 car workshop but looks like I’ll be staying in another shoebox. The build continues!

Amazing stuff and what a journey! Thank you for sharing! I look forward to see more of the project!

It’s almost ready to go.
