I've been an AMA member for many years but it has never been free for me. Unless, of course, I'm paying for the magazine subscription and they are throwing in the insurance at no charge!

Too bad there's only one, and no plans or kits to build more of them.This is one of the only photos I've seen of it...
Rob, your pic and the one linked to in the original post are the same airplane. Upon closer inspection I think the pic you posted is not of an all aluminum airplane as I don't see any rivets. Looks more like the wood and foam WAR kit.

Well... its no Corsair but the museum I work with is taking an AI14 (early model M14) and building a 100% Sopwith Camel around it
And no... I'm not kidding.
