Very, very nice!

For interest, this at the Museum of Flight, Boeing Field, Seattle. I found it fascinating.

I thought it was a Tiger Moth at first, but the lower wing was too big.

Reproduction or rebuild? Neat, either way.

In October 2016 I attended an International convention of the Seaplane Pilots Association, and got to see this Caproni
fly "in the flesh." Great sound with that 6-cylinder inline engine!

The Aero Club Como used to have SEVERAL of these Capronis - time and tide took its toll on them. This one is the
only one left. When it came time to refurbish it, the Club did not think it was economically justifyable. One of their
Club members offered to take on the restoration, provided the Club transferred ownership to him, AND agreed to
provide him with hangar space - they agreed.

- The floats are made of WOOD and are of MINIMUM displacement . . . which made for a LONG takeoff!!

- It took THREE guys an HOUR to complete the preflight. EACH chamber in EACH float had to be OPENED, PUMPED
OUT, and RE-SEALED. Very time-consuming.

That is great feedback Bob. Sure is nice to see some history preserved.

I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me - or thought it was the camera angle or something - until
I researched more images of this plane. The upper wing IS shorter than the lower wing - very
unusual for a biplane.
