A very professional website about an interesting project. Last month I visited Giancarlo Zanardo who is building a Jurca Mustang, about 80% scale, with the same Chevy engine and MT propeller used on the Spit. It is extremely well finished and a very substantial machine, with a TO weight of about 1500 kg. Unfortunately Giancarlo has no website, but he reckons that the airplane will fly this summer and photos will begin to circulate quickly. Among other things, he has built and flown successfully full scale Fokker Dr.I, Bl?riot XI and Wright Flyer repros. The Bleriot visited the UK in 1989, crossing the Channel under its own power.
