Default RE: Concept Fleet Biplane

Though I've never built or flown a Concept Fleet, I've always wanted to and I've seen many of them over the years. The airplane has been around for probably 30 years. Concept kits are "old school" but very high quality. Very nice band-sawed ribs and formers. The airplane flys very well and is probably pretty easy to fly due to it's enormous wing area. It is lightly built though so it might not handle extreme aerobatics or poor pilot technique (rough landings). The most dfficult part of the project is replicating the radial engine, but Williams Bros. is back in business to sell you the engine cylinder kits so that should not be a problem.

Like I said, they've been around for years...so it must be a good airplane.

I need to buy my kit before they are OOP!
