And for those that wonder what a more "modern" scratchbuilt plane is like, check out the Cozy Mk IV: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cozy_MK_IV. Made from fiberglass and foam cut to templates that came with a set of plans (with a handful of pre-fab parts).

The Cozy is a beaut too. I love it when we come out of the woodwork like this!
Using Twitter as a build log is frankly genius. It would have saved hours of work on my website.
I know a couple people who built the Cozy Mk IV. They're sweet airplanes!
