You have made a start, you do not have much time till the warm weather arrives to get it done. LOL

I wonder what I’m getting into…. My son stopped in to look at my new project and asked how big. I pulled a tape measure out and showed him 117”. Then I told him it is a biplane. He stared for a few seconds at the tape measure and so I did i…….. This is a big kit.

 

[Snoopy1]

Wow 117 inch wing span and it is biplane. That is one big plane.

 

[pawnshopmike]

117” Bipe? Holy smokes.

 

[TonyHallo]

That is a big plane, what's the wing area?

 

[dhal22]

That is a big plane, what's the wing area?

Not sure. 50"(?) Ws x 18"(?) chord x 4 wings....

 

[Snoopy1]

What is the estimated weight of the plane. He will be looking for a large trailer very soon. You will have to very patient at the field assembling a big biplane like that. That is what I call a all day plane.

Friend of mine use to have the 100cc Beast. I helped him put it together one morning at the field. By the time it was ready to go we were both too worn out to fly.

Exactly why I made the dolly for my Pitts.
