Hi Guys

For many, I hate to say this cost will be the big issue for Biplanes.Prices of F3A will increase because of the extra materials and man hours needed. If you were looking at starting F3A, I would never start with a Biplane, they may look good but you are aiming to start with something stable. Bearing in mind now that base monoplane kits are increasing to nearly £1,000.00s that one hell of an outlay to a newcomer.

Christophe started with next to nothing (so I've heard) so starting with the best equipment isn't always the best way.
Once you have honed your skills and are confident then gradually better your equipment.

I work with the top F3A builder in the UK, are opion is that a finished Biplane would total nearly £7,000.00s. A substiantial increase over a monoplane by nearly £2.000.00s.

Best Regards
