Default RE: Good first biplane?

You guys are scaring the hell out of me.....I had a little OS .25 sitting around with very little choices of planes to put it on these days. I saw a little bipe on the internet that said it was for a .25-.30 engine size, so I snatched it up. Now I'm wondering if I've got enough power, if I'll be able to see the damn thing in the air, or if I will even be able to fly it, since I only recently moved up to a semi-symetrical wing trainer (the Hanger 9 Arrow).

Like all of you, I've always loved the looks of a bipe, and have always dreamed of flying one. I thought this was an inexpensive way to venture into it, but even with that, I'm thinking I should sit on the side line and let a more experienced pitlot fly it for me for a while.

At 58, my depth perception sucks, and my reverse coordination leaves me at the worst times.

Maybe I should put flashing lights on the underside of the bottom wing........
