I got mine used(barely) from a guy who needed money. The construction is excellent as well as the covering job. I haven't flown it yet, however I have assembled it several times just to admire. Don't change anything! I watch the guys at our field put other biplanes together and I must say, who ever designed this setup is a genius. I'm building a Sig Smith Miniplane right now and it is just like all the rest, will take approx. 15 minutes to assemble at the field. The best thing about the miniplane is that it is small enough to fit in the cab of my truck fully assembled. I have a 1/3 scale Acrosport 1 that wont fit in the back of my truck disassembled, and it's a Ford F150 king cab.
