Despite searching hard, I cannot find any answers to Sam Rutherford's question on 16th October 2016:
I now have a question for Ewald:

After the Stearman hit the parked R44 only 6 weeks before the Australia trip - can you let us know how closely you followed the FAA propstrike requirements? I've been wondering for a while, particularly considering that the engine failed +/- 6 months later.
Ewald might also be able to answer how the wreck of Artifice was miraculously rebuilt so quickly after T C-T smashed it up. Did it have anything to do with happening to have spare airframes available, meaning minimal effort to transfer a constructor's plate across, possibly?

As an enthusiast's forum, there is a large audience who'd be fascinated to learn more of how such a total rebuild can be done so fast. Just how was Artifice ready for the next show and into the media shots again in unbelievable time?
