Biplane ID ...
Hi,
Can someone ID this plane?
48" wing span and 47" nose to tail. I do not think it has the correct cowl.
What I was told. It was a kit, Carl Goldberg, very old, it is covered with material and doped.
Any idea?
Thank!

RE: Biplane ID ...
My first guess is that it is a Great Planes Super Aeromaster. The overall design is very similar, but a couple things are different. The ailerons on your plane are near full length while the Aeromaster had just short ones at the wing tips, on mine nly on the lower wing as yours is.. The Aeromaster had three wing configurtions and one is as shown in your photos. The cabane looks the same as well as the cockpit. The landing gear isn't stock, but mine isn't either. The Stock cowl was a built up balsa cowl. Mine has a Fiberglass Specialities Waco version of the cowl. My wing span is about 50", measured from the floor with the wing on a rack high on the celling. I'm not sure that is all that accurate.
The Aeromaster needed a 90 four stroke at a minimun and up to a 1.20 if you could squeeze one onto the firewall. I couldn't.
I've yet to fly mine. It comes in at around 9.5 lbs.

It favors a Precident Bi-Fly, but not exactly. Are the wings sheeted foam or built up?
The Bi-Fly did'nt have a cowl like that but it could have been added.
