Biplane Kit for a G-62
For my Giant Scale career, I built a Bud Nosen p-47 years ago, then a scratch designed and built 110 inch high wing trainer. Now I would like to build a Big Bi-plane and can't seem to find one. ARF's ARF's everywhere. Anyone know where I can get a modern style Biplane kit. Like a Pitts special, Christian Eagle, Smith miniplane or even an Ultimate that I can bolt this G-62 in?
Thx,
Brian

Contact Precision Cut Kits, they have some great bipe kits that you may be interested in. I bought the Hostetler Liberty Sport last year at Toledo, It's still sitting in the box. The wood is great.The Hostetler Skybolt is sweet.

RE: Biplane Kit for a G-62
You might want to check with other individuals that have build the Weeks Solution from PCK. I'm almost finish with my Solution X from PCK and the experience has not been a good one. Also, while a G62 will fly the plane it will be a bit under power. A ZDZ60 or ZDZ80 would be more appropriate. I'm using the ZDZ80 on my Solution. Great flying plane once you get through the building process.
Good Luck
Good Luck

RE: Biplane Kit for a G-62
Miles Reed Weeks Solution X is a very good combo for the G62-- not sure about the others. It has a ton of wing and tracks and floats like a champ. It is not a 3D beast but them most biplanes are not either. He also has a 70" Challenger III (Sean D Tucker's modified Pitts) that I am fitting a Taurus 3.2 on, but a G62 will also work fine. Plans are now through Dave Dressecker as Miles has retired. I have his email if you are interested.

RE: Biplane Kit for a G-62
Thanks for the tips everyone, The Weeks Solution looks like just the ticket. The only "kit" I have been able to locate is from SI Models [link=http://www.simodels.com/33/33solution.htm]http://www.simodels.com/33/33solution.htm[/link] I am still trying to get ahold of someone there. If I have to, I will go from plans alone, but it would be nice to get at least a short kit to start from. Anyone have a suggestion here?
Thanks again,
Brian

RE: Biplane Kit for a G-62
I have a partially completed 1/3 scale Christen Eagle Kit for sale. Has f/g cowl, aluminum landing gear and good two-place canopy. The wings are built, the tail feathers are complete and the fuse partially framed up. I would consider a trade or sale. Let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Skip ... [email protected]

It's not modern style but it is definitely BIG, http://www.genesis-rc.com/wacoymf5/ [X(]
