I am building a Chilton DW-1 monoplane from the Roy Nerou plans of the Chilton Aeroplane. Building the aircraft takes precedence over updates, but more photos will be posted of my DW-1 over time. The Chilton D.W.1 was a racing aircraft in its day. The aircraft is extremely efficient providing respectable speed for horsepower. For more information the best source is Roy Nerou's Chilton website. There is also a Chilton DW1 Yahoo group with information regarding building.

Original Chilton DW-1 Noseblock Grain Orientation
The original Chilton DW-1 Noseblock grain angle was set at 90 degrees to the chord line. The plywood on top of the noseblock also went 90 degrees to the chord line. The 1mm plywood on the opposite side of the gusset, with the lightening holes, was set parallel to the chord line.
