The original: Built in 1923, this tandem-seater was an immediate success and won many contests. In 1927, it won an altitude record of 6000 m and a distance record of 1305 km.
The model: Using original plans and drawings, the plane was recreated in CAD programming and meticulously designed for scale, light weight, and high strength. the near scale metal fittings have been structurally analyzed and optimized using FEM computer technology. The result is not just a true-to-scale model on the outside, but one which is very near scale on the inside and even in its assembly. The photos here are worth a thousand words.
