Scratch Building A Biplane
#1
Thread Starter

My Feedback: (4)
I am currently flying the Valiant, but I have always liked biplanes and i am going to scratch build my own design for pattern.
I have a pretty good idea of what i will do for the fuselage, horizontal and vertical stabilisers. The area where i would appreciate advice is to do with the wing design.
The wing span will be 1850-1900mm.
I would appreciate suggestions/advice for the wing plan form, root and tip chords, root and tip sections (thickness etc), amount of stagger and incidences.
All advice greatly appreciated.

I fly my dad's design, which has no stagger, and the wings are quite foreward. The top wing and elevator both have adhedral (angled down). I flew F3a with it last year, and we have a new design for this next season
