Would be builders of WW1 aircraft are aware of the many small metal fittings needed to build a full size aircraft and of the great amount of time it would take to fabricate these parts.  That fact alone could be the reason many would be builders may give up the challenge of building an aircraft.

Help is now available from two very talented W.W One aircraft builders from whom parts can be purchased.  Jack Kearbey of Tulsa Oklahoma has built and flown his (as factory built) SE5a and is now building a Sopwith Pup.  He has agreed to make parts available to the home builders of these aircraft.  Roger Freeman who is well known for his WW1 aircraft building and flying is now building a SPAD XIII and has agreed to provide laser cut parts for several ships including but not confined to the Sopwith's, Snipe, Pup, Camel, Strutter and Triplane as well as SPAD parts.  The much used Sopwith S.L. fittings will be available.  These are the small metal fuselage fittings that hold the vertical and horizontal wood members to the longerons.  Front motor mount plates will also be offered.  Laser cut wood and ply such as the webs of wing ribs will also be available.  The possibilities are endless.  For your specific need, contact Roger Freeman or Jack Kearbey.
