Default RE: Sebastiano Silvestri new F3A plane

Congratulations Sebastiano on a very elegant design. I have never really considered biplanes due to the extra complications but this design has certainly turned my head. Anyone know any design details of the biplanes. Like airfoil thickness and rigging angles. Looks to me like 10% or thinner foils and the rigging on the top wing -.5 deg according to the drawing on the Oxai site. Is this really an all wood model? If so it is great design. Looks like a molded fuse in the one open hatch picture.
