I can answer that one......He built the Be2C at the request of the gents who are rebuilding the full sized replica , . Thanks to MartinP the group made a request for TWO aircraft to play with - The Be2C is the first - the second is seen in silhouette at Steve Slaters website...

Looking forward to flying the Be2C, Leif. She's always been very high on my list of favorite RAF aircraft from WWI.

All the beta group have returned a positive thumbs up with some very minor niggles -- We are waiting for Gary to resurface and see if he has managed to get any good sound bites from the video's of the NZ "Quirk" running as it uses a REAL RAFMk1 V8 engine. the consensus seems to be that Ted has got the FDE spot on - and anyone who brags about changing it so it goes faster I will personally scrag -- it takes a lot of coordination to fly even in the simulator - lots of rudder - slow flat turns and a lot of patience to get above 1000 feet - it must have made an ideal observation platform and an Eindekker pilots dream to come across one. I have always loved Ted's aircraft but this one takes the cake.
So Go and find Ginger and Algy and get ready to fly

Had a wander round Strathallan in her last night, good grief it takes ages to gain any height. I started looking for a route round by road rather than over the Ochil hills , it didn't feel like it would make it over at all
Well done to Ted, if this is still the beta version I'm looking forward to the final model.
