Step one on the Nieuport 11, clean it. Reminds me of a movie scene…. Wax on, wax off

A great field trip to pick up a Nieuport 11 Bi-plane. This is a 7/8’s Graham-Lee designed replica that has been donated to our chapter. Many thanks to Mike Williams in helping connect us to this opportunity, giving the Young Eagles a tour of his shops and sharing some of his aviation stories. His Tiger Moth watched over the entire event.

We are pleased to share with Chapter #729 that we’ve received an estate donation of a 7/8’s replica of a WWI Nieuport 17 fighter bi-plane with a Continental C85 engine. We will organize a team to help relocate, clean, and inventory it at a future date. There is an opportunity here to use it to fund future build projects.
