It seems ironic that the most discussed topic last month and this month are the same. Restoration / Replica via Data Plates. Plies of junk or the reminants of an aircraft.
Maybe the few who feel that this old ground shouldn't be rehashed, need to understand that this may equal new interest by others who have not lost all their passion.
Since last month, I have had many emails regarding this subject, all seem to say the same thing; wondering the same questions.
People just want to restore aircraft, any way they can.
While the CAA or the EAA may need to speak up on this topic, first they need to stand up and take on the subject, and give some general guidelines that all can follow.
