A hundred years ago the biplanes were at the height of their power. This is an attempt at a modern biplane. It uses a box like wing configuration similar to the Wright Flyer. The fuselage is slim in the manner of a sailplane. It is a user friendly machine. It is able to take off and land on water, desert and runways. The two supermarine engines provide generous power. The airbrakes complete the package. Landing it is easier than any other plane I have developed.
