I saw some of those being built - would LOVE to have one. There are only 5, as I recall. Seems to me that a two-seater should be able to pretty much pay for itself.

One of the problems the originals had was from a shortage of aluminum so much of the skin was sheet steel. The shortage of critical materials also meant the original Jumo engined had a very short operational life.

Marvelous bird!
