The reproduction 1912 machine was built by Ben Jr. I think in the 70's
and was flown on several occasions before being donated to the Museum
of Aviation at Warner-Robbins, GA. I have seen it and its a very nice
reproduction.

Brilliant. I'd loved to have seen it fly!
Yoj don't have any info on the last biplane by any chance, do you? I have a
couple of pics of it as well as the drawings from PA, but that's all I
have. I briefly considered building one but decided I didn't know enough
about building to go on the very sketchy info I had.

The only two things I know about it are that it was built in 1930, and
that Ben Epps, Sr. was killed in it in 1934. Reports are that it had
an engine failure on takeoff and crash-landed. David Hill would
probably know more about it. You'll find his website on Google.

Further investigation shows that those dates are inaccurate. Contact
David Hill and/or Google it for better info.

I FOUND A PHOTO OF THE REPLICA AT NBAA!
Its not a good photo, but you can make out a few details. The photo is
in the "Convention Floor" folder, image #1.

OK, thanks. I'll do that.
