I so want one of those! Now, if only that bl**dy Euro Lottery will kick in soon.... Beautiful bird!
It wouldn't fit in a Flugwerk. You should talk to Dave Goss about Flugwerk. He spent 60,000USD in "guarentee'd to fit on an original airframe" canopy and landing gear parts for an original airframe.
NONE of it fit and Flugwerk refused to refund the money. 60,000 USD for junk.

It's a beautiful airplane.... but the paint job ? Who dreamed that up ?
Wonder why an Allison for a powerplant. No Jumo's around ?

I'm not convinced it will be powered by the Allison. The Flug Werke URL notes the Allison is used in the Fw-190 tab, but that is not a Dora.
Did I miss something?

Look at the front of the gearcase in the first photo, then look at the front end of the gearcase of the Allison in the engine photo; they are identical, right down to the color of the nuts. My guess is the D-9 is powered by the Allison.

Sorry Joe love you and all...But I vote for "ME" to fly that baby...
.....I know you have to be checked out on flying a plane model that you have never flown before.(i think
)....So how do they work it with thing like this ...And is this a real tricky bird to fly...???Technically if you have correct rating, single engine land with a high performance complex endorsement, you don't need any other rating if the aircraft is under 12,500lbs.
However Darwin loves those folks who display no common sense. The EAA offers a Warbird rating and I highly recommend you get it if you want to fly these planes.
Yes you want to be familiar with operation of a very high performance propeller aircraft. Not only can it cost you your life, it is extremely expensive to cover just the cost of learning. We are talking ~50 to 120 Gallons per hour at 5 USD a gallon fuel burn while you fly. Oil consumption can be 15-20 qts and hour at 9 USD a quart. Filters, hydraulic fliud, consumables, tires at ~350 USD a piece, it adds up real quick.
You squib a tire on landing, you can can easily spend 1000 USD in a fraction of a second.
All the best,
Crumpp
