Construction is by War Aircraft Replicas, whose aim is to build scaled down versions of fighters for use as sport aircraft, instead of aerobatic sport aircraft which look like fighters.
WAR Aircraft Replicas is a company formed to market kits and plans for 1/2-scale World War II aircraft replicas. The Focke-Wulf 190 was singled out to be the first prototype, and development started in 1973. The first flight was made on 21 August 1974 with a 70hp VW engine. Other versions to be certified are the F4U Corsair and the P-47 Thunderbolt. All use the same common wooden fuselage box and wing spar construction. In order to duplicate the various fighter aircraft, polyurethane foam is shaped and covered with high-strength laminating fabric and epoxy resin to form a rigid, yet lightweight structure. Landing gear are electrically-retractable tailwheel type with an emergency system. Power is supplied by a 0-200 Continental turning a three-blade, fixed-pitch prop.
