Hi all - I recently purchased a Tiger Moth project A17-734. I have been collecting and restoring Tiger parts for many years with this goal. Have found many interesting posts on this site which will be useful

I see you mention replating frequently. Don't forget Hydrogen embrittlement is dangerous. requires heat treatment immediately after plating. Nev

Will definitely do so. I have irons in the fire at the moment re purchase of a homebrew biplane out of the US (nothing so auspicious as a DH.82 though). The nation can blame the current crappy state of the Aust dollar on my making a significant purchase overseas - it seems to happen every time! cheers

Yes, I have been eyeing off some of the bargain prices which items can be obtained for in the US in comparison to Oz. Are you looking at importing a Kit or an previously owned homebuilt? I was interested in a J3 cub at one stage but found the whole importing process too intimidating
