There are alot of factors to influence this one. That is, alot of wear and tear on an original DB. With a monitored maint. program anything is possible. I think the owner operator would become proficient enough to safely fly would be customer and himself regularly. Also...operated from a grass strip would be ideal. I'd definetly get in line for flight! You know...Flugwerke could probably bang one of these out very economically...the biggest hitch is the engine. Look at Stallion 51...how many years have they been going?...and they are just getting stronger!
