The Experimental Aircraft Association has built two Ryan NYP replicas. The first is on display in the EAA Museum and this second one that is flyable. A faithful replica with a few differences for safety. These include a Continental R-670 engine in replacing original's Wright Whirlwind (more reliable and parts easier to find), an electrical system, more modern instruments and a tail wheel. A second pilot seat is also installed between the engine and cockpit replacing the forward fuel tank. The upper turned aluminum panel can be removed to reveal windows for (some) forward viewing.
