Wish there was a rotary engine that was originally used as to the radial type now. The handy rotary with it's gyro effect is no doubt what Captain Lanoe would have deployed against von Richthofen in their most famous duel. Just the same is a fine tribute to those "Fields of Flanders".
I could never understand why after each of the World Wars, a programme wasn't instituted to preserve twenty or thirty of each type of allied and enemy aircraft for future museums.
People are usually doing more important things like rebuilding society to care about weapons of war. Romanticism comes way later when everyone from the involved parties are either dead or too old to remember.
"is an authentic replica of the WW1 fighter biplane" ... then it would have a rotary engine and not a radial. Plus there are more non-authentic features on this plane. So its a semi-reproduction, a good one thought. Nice plane.

A radial instead of a rotary? What is this the "blue max?" ; ) Otherwise looks like a very good reproduction.
