You are going to love that plane. I had a Quadra 72cc on mine and it was a ball. I did enlarge the rudder a great deal though, at least double in size and beefed up the landing gear to handle the weight of the engine. I found that the upper wing needed to be at about 1.5 degrees LESS angle of attack than the lower wing for best flight characteristics. Just a minor difference in the relative incidence made a big difference in how it flew.

I have also been flying for a number of years; but I would estimate my skill level as 30% of the way from beginner to "experienced but not expert level".
I recently got my first biplane; it's a Parkzone Albatros.
so far like it a lot; mostly because it's slow and scale-like. Most of the recommendations above are faster, sporty biplanes. But there is the other side of this which is the slow, scale side
