There are several two seat Nieuport 12's out there.
I'm a lucky guy in that my wife has put flying firmly into "my thing" and has put off a ride with me. She's afraid she'd like it too much and says we can't afford two pilots in the family.
She did, however, agree to go up with me in the next month or two in order to help me get my Passenger Endorsement. You know, the one every new pilot has to get by taking up a passenger that isn't their CFI. I'm so lucky to have such a supportive, trusting wife to help me flesh out my log book and complete yet another rating.
Found the misplaced construction DVD and was enlightened in the opposite direction of my efforts (yet again).
Bolts are reversed in the compression struts (nut on the outside) and I somehow got the lift tangs inside the wire bracing tangs (I think little elves or pixies or something magically changed them around, as I distinctly remember putting the lift tangs on the spar side).
Oh, well, cable and swags are cheap, and it's an easy fix.
Instead of working on the wings, I decided on an hour and a half of intense psychotherapy:
What's not in the plans is how the lower wings attach to the carrythroughs. In the DVD they show the DVII, which doesn't have a sweep to it and has sleeves in the carrythroughs - which aren't in my set of plans.
So another call to Robert....
