Lorin's workmanship on this aircraft is outstanding. He took the Grand Champion Homebuilt award at the Bartlesville Bi-Plane expo in May, 2000. His center instrument cluster is mounted on a brass plate with a piece of small copper tubing layed around the outer edge. Lorin mentioned that this piece was 38" long, and cutting the small slit along the whole length with a dremel tool turned out to be quite a chore! But the results were well worth the effort.
