We hope to have AR up and running in three years (total restoration time) so that should hopefully be towards the end of next year (emphasising the word HOPEFULLY!). Some work had already been done, like ailerons and tailplane, but we're doing the major structures at present. Spits aren't quite so bad because even if you can't get the new part you want 'off the shelf' usually someone has made one or knows someone who has. Not so with some other types, although money is the major factor in any restoration (as is the condition of the airframe!) the labour costs would give the older readers of the forum a heart attack I think!
