John,

You've been at this a while, haven't you?!!

In the two some odd years that I have been delayed for commencement, I have noticed that while my commitment to the Sopwith Baby has wavered, my passion to construct any one of three Sopwith models, has not. On the very eve now of starting, I have to make a decision which will determine which of the airfoil profiles I start cutting for. At that point, the die will be cast and I will follow through.

Chief among the decision factors in order of importance are.....

-One or two place

-Logistical practicality of use and storage

-Selection of power (new technology as available / appropriate, or overhauled older equipment).

-Degree of authenticity

Your reply is very useful to me as it adds a few more pieces to the overall puzzle.

Thanks John!
