Got it--nice method, building the fuse right on top of the bottom wing--makes sense.

I have a VK Nieuport that uses small metal screws into blind nuts. Metal tabs with 90 degree elbows are soldered to the cabanes.

You know, I've allowed the conventions of the club to distort the kinds of planes I build. Reading about, and seeing, all your Whitehead biplanes reminds me of why I started doing this in the first place.

And yes, if you want a kit, I forgot all about the Gee Bee Tiger Moth. It is not very scale at all, but still looks nice, and there are some things you can do to make it a little more in character, like increasing the lower wing dihedral, giving the top wing more sweep back and carving your own scale cowl. The Whitehead plans would be an excellent reference since they are in a similar scale.
