I've flown both the T10 and the DHC-1 and of course they are both wonderful aircraft.
The bubble-canopy on the RCAF aircraft is great, allowing you to indulge your Spifire fantasies even more and it also scores another point over the T10 in having a heater! Think about that, all you long-suffering QFIs in the back seat in winter
On the other hand, I feel the spindly gear legs always look "naked" compared to the T10.
Dora-9, I agree with you about the Lycoming mod - it just doesn't look right. However, if you are going to do it, do it properly like Art Scholl. I had a close look at N13Y at Springbank back in the 70s, when he was performing at the Calgary Stampede Grandstand show in the evening.
Wingspan reduced by three feet, full span ailerons, retractable-gear, giant rudder and a 260HP Lycoming. His show was amazing. Aerobatics in the dark with wing-tip flares and the lights on the back-stretch of the race-track for any emergencies.
Back to Bri's picture of the Lycoming DHC-1. Why do people go to all that trouble and expense and then get the paint scheme wrong? Wrong colour blue in the roundels, wrong lettering and a red-red fin flash!
On the same note, why on earth does the Shuttleworth T10 have a fake Canadian colour scheme?
