Glover,

Thanks for the tip! I had the tiny screws and nuts in my kit to mount the braces. They never showed up in my manual. Even the break out of all the parts doesn't show them. I'll have to assume that it was a modification and it took a while for the manual to catch up.

Tramsay,

I wouldn't recommend a performance bipe for your first biplane. Something more like a Tiger Moth or Super Stearman would be a better first choice because they land slower.

My bipe looks great even without any of the extra decals! I'll get my 6-cell BalancePro HD 3200mAh pack in a few weeks and be ready for a test fly.
