Ok, don't laugh, but here goes.
As many of you know, I am building a 1/4 scale remote control Fokker DRI which I plan to make as close of a copy of 425/17 as I can. Attached to the cockpit of the plane I plan to add two things which I thought would be different. First, I bought a lock of hair that belonged to MvR (yes it was professionally certified). It was placed in a locket and will be in the cockpit. I would like to buy a small patch or even just a couple of threads from 425/17 to place in another locket next to the hair. Anybody have any ideas where I might find something like this? Paul

All right Rick...calm down.
Pmirl - I can't help you with the search, but - the idea is a good one. Our own Baldeagle on this forum built a reproduction of the Ryan M-1 flown by Lindbergh and he managed to locate a piece of the original. That small piece of wood former was incorporated into some no-structural part (the door I think). It's a great way to connect the past and present. Rick is right though - there's enough "authentic" fabric from vR's Triplane to cover a dozen of 'em.... Mike

Yes, they are rediscovering new fragments almost daily! Caveat emptor, of course.
Dan-San had the real McCoy for sale a while back. What was the disposition of that one? Lyle
