....ahhh but with the modern glues you don't need to be putting in the thousands of screws like the original, which will save a considerable amount of time. I know of somebody who hopes to have at least one flying within the next five or so years which includes the time needed to produce a completely new wing. Bob Jens' machine will be the first to fly I think but there is still a fair way to go with this project, there's still the engines and systems to fit yet and that's not a job which will take a few weeks as we are witness to with the TFC beau. I await the day when the twin RR's roar once more and hope that it's sooner rather than later.
