I see I am kind of late getting into this, but am building and old EAA biplane kit that I have had since 1992. Just dusting it off and starting on the fuse. Now that I am more than halfway done with the fuse, I see that I maybe should have shortened the nose a bit. I don't have a motor for it yet. I was thinking of an OS 120 surpass. Any thoughts on that? I was also thinking of making a removable hatch on the top of the nose to make fuel tank more accessable. Any thoughts on that. I sure like the looks of the finished plane. This will be my first Bipe. Somewhat of a challenging build for me. But am enjoying it. Any help would be appreciated.
