Mark,
Tom and Michael have built The Lark of Duluth replica for the
Centennial Celebration in 2013.
The Benoist Flying Boat Type 14 is made of wood and
fabric. Below is the builder's photo log of their
progress.
The
original Lark was probably covered in linen..
We have decided to use the well proven Poly-Fiber
covering system to insure this historical replica will be around
for a very long time. Thanks to a generous donation from John
and Phyllis Goldenbaum of
Consolidated Aircraft Coatings, the Duluth Aviation Institute
will have a durable aircraft as a flying artifact of
the beginnings of aviation.
