Great lakes trainer biplane
Hi all,
I just aquired an older biplane kit, it is unfinished just needs motor, servos and rx.The top wing is 54" X 8", bottom wing 48" X8", overall length is 38", ailerons top and bottom.Any ideas about CG and engine size ( I have a 46 and 61 available), prop ? I'd like to post a pic but can't figure out how to.

By the dimensions, it sounds like a .46 will do just fine. balance and incidence will be your biggest factor. You said it was unfinished, does that mean bare wood too? I won't be able to make the meeting this week, but for sure the guys will be able to place it, if you bring it. Also the airfoil is a give away, for power that is needed. semi-symmetrical, or symmetrical... when you figure out the picture attaching, post one or send an e-mail...
That's pretty sweet! Are you going to the meeting on Wednesday? If you are, bring the plane with you, and have some of the guys take a look.
