Chilton DW-1

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.
