Default RE: A biplanejet?

The Futura have now a biplane sister !!!!

Great look ! After all those F3A biplane, it is not abnormal to see a derivation of this "concept" in jet mode...

Biplanes are more draggy by nature because of the structural design : less internal structure but external wire. On modern design "wireless" biplane it's not so draggy if speed is not the main goal, but neutrality and trajectory. Here we have clearly a pattern plane for wich speed is not the goal, as for other other sport design like Futura. Sure this one will be a killer in flight ! Sorry for for the 5kg weight limit in F3A, I would like to have seen one in F3A pattern contest ! [8D]
