I saw the airplanes in October of 2000; my impression was that they looked really bad. I didn't know that the aluminum
on the fuselage was not aerodynamically smooth: let me explain: Instead of having one "continuous surface" with the separate aluminum shapes and forms riveted to the internal structure, they have riveted one piece on top of the other, so you have these "steps" betwee one plate and the next one. It looked shoddy.

They also had, in a very sorry state, a Fieseler Storch, with one or two (don't remember exactly how many) Argus engines.
