Hmmm Sonex, odd looking bird. Kinda cool though. I've wanted a WWI replica
for a long time myself, but after getting hooked on aerobatics at flight
school, I think I need something more robust and agile. Still, a WWI replica
might be enough, I'd need to fly one first to see how I liked it. Nice thing
about a Nieuport, Sopwith, etc, is I could do aerobatics when I felt like it,
but when I wanted to slow down for nice easy flying, the plane would suit
that too.
Hmmm, too many expensive hobbies and not enough money. :P
