My first attempt at biplanes. Maybe it will lead to something much greater. It was a real pain in the butt to make, with balance going from extremely nose heavy to extremely tail heavy with shifting just 50lbs of dead weight. Wings were redesigned a few times till I got it right. Now it flies perfectly. Cruise throttle is 70% for low altitudes. Take of with 100% throttle and land with the engine on stand by (2-5%). Enjoy.
