Furious and humiliated from being removed from the federal aircraft team, Antonio privately funded his own plane not willing to take this humiliation like this. throwing out all the requirements needed form the contract. Four months after Decocco's plane first flew to hundreds of people, Margariti's took flight to a small barbecue at his home. He had rebuilt the whole of the engine and frame from scratch saying he had seen the new plane in a dream. several army ranking officers, Franco Lucchini and Attilio Gorrini among them, were so impressed with it they pooled their funds with Margariti's to create Four Star Aviation. The first order put in was of 80, double that of Decocco's DC-5
