NICE...... Looks like they kept the old color scheme. There is friend of mine at our local field flying one of the old kits with an OS 120 Surpass 11 pumped. The 120 makes a nice sound in the air. The plane seems to fly really nice and fast.

I built one about 10 years ago from the kit. My first biplane, and really liked it. had an OS.91 Surpass in it. I have always wanted another, but have never got around to building one. May have to get one of these.

This caught my eye also.I have one (Old GP kit) downstairs completely framed up.may still sell it.I always loved that trim scheme on the box,but thought it was too much work to duplicate.I love the looks..but when I see them fly,they look smallish in the air.They also fly quite fast,so it looks a little toyish.
If it had a 65" span or so,it would probably be able to fly more lighter and scale like,but then engines become hard to obtain as one would need a few cubes to power it.I think it will be a good seller.

If it's anything like the original, it will be a winner!
