Double Trouble

This is the third in the series of simplified models. Some modelers shy away from biplanes because they think aligning the wings is too complicated. Here is a model, meant to be a first biplane, that does not have that issue. It has no interplane struts and the cabane struts are keyed into the fuselage sides. Alignment is a non-issue. It trims easily and is a very satisfying flier. In fact, with over 90 square inches of wing area, it can be a real floater. Pre-printed skins have sunburst pattern on the wings as seen in the photo.

This is a complete kit with laser cut sheet parts, strip wood, hardware and rubber. Propeller in kit is EB for easier balance. The upper wing has a 17-1/2 inch span.
