Now, how did you do?

If you got lots right, congratulations, you are a real ace and will go on to build a beautiful Pietenpol that will fly like a bird. Construction will probably only take you a couple of years at most. Whilst you are at it better make a trophy cabinet with all those off-cuts of spruce and ply to house all the awards you are going to get.

If you didn’t do too well, have you ever thought about taking up stamp collecting instead? If you can’t fathom these questions how on earth are you going to cope with all the grey areas that result from building a vintage aircraft design which complies with modern safety requirements? Still, there’s security in numbers - join the club with the rest of us "quiz dunces" and we’ll have great fun trying!
