I orginally posted this in giant scale, but it probably fits better here. This weekend we had an air show at our field with a pretty big crowd of spectators. I realized that nobody had a scale like biplane with smoke for barnstoming crowd appeal. So, I thought I'd build one, but can't seem to find anything. Would prefer something big enough for good smoke with a round cowl. Any Ideas? or should I stick to something more modern like an Ultimate?

How big are you looking to go? I know there is a 35% Pitts Model 12 out there but I don't remember which company sells it.

Idon't know, maybe 60-70" wing span. 15-20 lbs. Big enough to wow the crowd, small enough to transport in a minivan

How about the GP Super Stearman?

Yeah, that's a good looking plane.

Midwest Super Stearman?

Big round cowl and big enough for a killer smoke system and a gasser up front(35-40cc?). Small enough to transport without a semi-trailer.

Here it is:

Not too bad for $210.00
