I am watching your thread too. I am in the process of covering my hog bipe, and am looking forward to maiden in the spring. this is my first biplane to fly. One thing that I ran into was the dihedral on the lower wing. After setting the brace, let the glue dry, when I put together the plane the struts were too short. Should have measured twice !! had to make new struts 1/4" each side. I am also using metal pushrods inside of the supplied tubing instead of supplied nylon pushrods because the nylon rods length change from temperature extremes that they need to be readjusted all the time.
