Jimmbo,
You got it, DGA 15P. I've had the fortune (unfortune??--i dunno, maybe ) to be a grease monkey on one of these. I worked at a small airport for nearly 4 years, ending this last fall at a local airport (highschool job) for the owner who happens to be restoring one of these. I've spent more time with paint stripper working on fuel tanks, firewalls, struts, landing gear etc tan I care to recall. But I learned a lot. DGA's are neat, big singles. It's going to be great to see it fly-but talk about a big job. My hat is off to all of you who make these beautiful planes fly-its no small task.

First guess on the bipe was some form of Stearman due to the landing gear. But given the tapered wings (well at least pointed) and the short fin, my best guess is a WACO, one of the gazillion apha designators.
