I know nothing!
I've wanted to do this one for a while. A true, full size version of a foamboard biplane that I know flies as well as anything anyone can ask for. The original MSBP, Mini Scout Biplane, is based of course on the Mini Scout. I changed a lot of stuff to make that plane. It's still a Mini and runs off the F-pack.
Scale it up 150%? It's not a mini any more! The wingspan will be larger than @jpot1's Baby Blender Extended. I think we'll be pushing the limits of what foamboard can do with a biplane configuration. There are no wooden supports. No changes to the design, whatsoever. Just scaled up bigger.
I absolutely love the way I can throw the MSBP around in the sky. Here's a few videos:

It basically does whatever I ask it to do. At some points, it's more than I can handle! So what happens when we make it bigger? @sundown57 actually tried it and liked it. He didn't put it through the paces, though! I am definitely going to!
She'll be sporting a SunnySky 2216-8 1250kv motor, 30 amp esc, 3s 2200mAh batt, and a prop that is yet to be determined. I had some help on this build already. @sundown57 really is my Real Life Uncle. He's my Mother's Brother. He has me to blame for luring him into the FT world of RC flight. As way of thanks, he gifted me with a whole bunch of planes that he hand cut himself. I've only got to glue them together. This is one of them.
The design is so simple, this build should go pretty quickly. I'm out of 9gram servos, though. I've only three left. Elevator and Rudder. That's two. My original design calls for one servo to actuate both ailerons. I might try to do that with my last 9 gram, or I might use two five gram. I'm scavenging the receiver from my DR1. It happens to be a RX6R and I happen to have a 5amp bec that I haven't used, yet. That works out pretty good!
Stick with me and you'll get to see a C-pack sized biplane rip the skies! At least that's the plan.
