Ken.. I hope he listens. I would hate to hear that the beautiful Phaeton 90 was crashed because he tried to fly it without any training or experience.

For CVEDRAL: This will give you some good building experience. Build it if you wish, but as Ken said, hang it up from the ceiling and admire it, but get some experience flying RC before even attempting to fly it. And at that, I would let the club pro fly it first and at least a couple times to iron out the bugs before flying a bi-plane. The setup for one of those is not like a simple low-wing aerobatic or a high-wing trainer. The setup is very complex and requires some real advanced understanding of how these things fly.
