For those wanting to see the plane

This is definitely not a beginners plane. My gosh it's beautiful and all that but it will be destroyed quickly as bi-planes can be harder to fly than mono-planes in the first place.

PLEASE get a proper traine and an instructor to help you learn to fly. ONLY after you have become VERY comfortable flying taildragger trainers and intermediate planes should this plane be attempted.

Welcome to the hobby and I'm sorry you have gotten off to such an expensive false start but you have made a good radio choice. It will last you for many years.
