Any projects out there? The Wiki page only mentions 4 examples. Has anyone made a replica? Curious about this aircraft the more and more I see it.

My site has a listing of Curtiss Robin survivors. It is about a two year old list but has a few pictures of them in their current condition.

Click on "Curtiss Robin" on the home page under Feature Pages.

Have to say I think I'm more impartial to the inline M model. Is this correct? What's the going price for a fully restored one?

The M model was equipped with the Milwaukee Tank engine, a sucessor to the OX-5, a V-8 watercooled Curtiss design.

Curtiss Robins don't bring that much relatively speaking. Anywhere from $50-80K
