Help, Biplane wing
Hi people, I have been looking for plans to build a Christen Eagle Biplane from scratch but have not been able to find any. Can anyone help me? I have been able to get three views but they are only about 1/48th-scale drawings. If any one knows how to import them accurately into Corel Draw or any other easily obtainable design package that I can change in scale accurately without distortion please contact me I would really appreciate the help.
I would like to build this plane in 3 sizes starting with a size to fit in with a 0.90 methanol size two stroke progressing to a 1.60 methanol two stroke and the eventually into 50% scale using a 210cc petrol.
I know nothing about airfoils, which is why I was trying to find a proven plan or someone who can help with information on how to design the wings so they will work.

Can't help you on your specific request, however, if you go to POWERAEROBATICS.com you'll see the Challenger ll which is a modified Christian Eagle.
Complete plans are available for this aircraft in the Gas sizes. There is a smaller one but the popular one is the 120cc powered 90" version. The source does not have a web site but sells both kits and plans. The full scale and the model flight characteristics of the Challenger ll are very, very good!
If you check this out and are interested in the design I'll get you the stateside address, phone # and email. Let me know.

-Definitely get in touch with my Dad, Dave Dessecker. He sells "Builder's Kits" that have the blueprints and a few parts like the cabanes and landing gear with it. Everything else is up to you to do if that's what you're looking for.
