Dan,
You must have a lot of time, money and enthusiam. That Dove is only slightly down the difficulty scale from rebuilding a Mosquito!
Enthusiasm YES, time and money NO
Doves arn't that bad! once you get past all the British imperial fittings and the list of Airworthiness Directives that are longer than the deadsea scrolls there is really not much wrong with them
running costs now that is an issue, 140 ltrs per hour fuel burn and probably similar for oil! I still love them though
Cheers, Dan
