Hey Spitflyer,

I just purchased the plans for the 62" Lazy Ace Biplane. All my research led me to this plane from Chuck. Everyone I talk to said it is an excellent Biplane. I think we made a good choice. This is my first plan building project too. For Christmas, my wife bought me the Harry Higley's BIPE book. It's all about building and setting up biplanes. An excellent book. Very professional and precise. A lot of attention to details. I am just starting to collect all the wood needed for building. I am planning on using a 90 4-stroke on mine. The instructions said this size engine was a good match. Probably a Saito. I think the Chrome valve covers will look good sticking out the side of the cowl. Fiberglass Specialties has cowls for these planes. I'm getting one for mine from there. Pretty good engine too.
How are you planning on transfering the plans to the balsa wood?
Carbon paper and tracing? I like the suggestion for cutting wing ribs.
