Mini Aeromaster Inspired Biplane
I have been a fan of Lou Andrews Aeromaster since I was a teen, circa late 1970s and early 1980s. Mine was built for me by my father, that was a great gift. It flew one with a Fox Eagle III on the nose. Now since I returned to RC flying a few years ago I just had to make a biplane with similar lines.
I took a FT Mini Scout and made it into a biplane a few years back, http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?20816-Mini-Scout-Biplane-With-Plans , after tweaking the design a little I published the plans. This biplane is the next step to get closer to the big biplane of my youth. If this biplane is as successful as I hope, I will then size it up to 32" or so.
This is not going to be a fast build. (Then again it just kept calling me to finish it.) LOL! I am still working on the Miles Sparrowhawk for FF2017 in Ohio.
Also after this Mini version is perfected I will share the plans. This biplane will be built mainly with 2 sheets of DTF, tape, white gorilla glue and some hot glue. Hopefully you will enjoy the journey.
I suggest using the forward CG marks on the top wing for your initial flights.
Proof of Flight video.
