DH.60 Gipsy Moth Anniversary Edition

I'd love to see you all do a FT XL Simple Gipsy Moth (whose 100 year anniversary is in February of 2025) to help celebrate the centennial and introduce younger people to this historically significant 'aeroplane'! After watching the Jenny videos I got to thinking that the construction techniques could probably be applied to a model of the early variants (the DH.60 Cirrus Moth and the DH.60 Gipsy Moth) as they had flat sided wooden fuselages, I think it has nice lines and would be a great candidate (especially with a 3D printed cowl) for a nice flyer! Considering attempting to do one myself but figured I'd pitch this to you and see what you think and I'd just buy a kit if you decided to do it! :rolleyes:

Best regards & keep up the great work!
