Why rule out any of them when you can build all three of them. . . . . . .

They are most definitely much more expensive than an ARF, but, there is not another one like them.I don't want to pay the parts bill for one much less 3.

I was searching for Samson info and found this. I had to post it, it just sounds so awesome.

The Samson three view I posted a few days ago also had a PDF file with it. I found out today that the PDF was in Vector format, so I was able to import it into Turbocad as a fully modifiable drawing. Many PDF's are in Raster format and don't import as a clean workable file.
I have no way to know how accurate the 3 view is, but for my purposes it would be fine.
I did some scaling and at 78.5" wing span it would be 64.5" long The cowl would be massive at 13.75" round. You could loose a DA100 in there.
The more I think about this Biplane project the more I'm sure the DA50 is out. Bigger is better right? DA70 at least.

The only thing I can say is I have built 3 bi-planes and every one ended up tail heavy. And also you can never put enough HP in a biplane. They just seem to to fly better with more power. Quite a while back with a 60 di-plane started with a Sato 150 And ended up with 3W42 and it flew great and looked good with the huge propellerThe Samson three view I posted a few days ago also had a PDF file with it.

I done with the upgrades on my buddies 3 meter Sukhoi, my airplanes don't need more than a few minutes maintenance, and it's supposed to rain tomorrow, humm, what am I going to do with myself? Maybe it's time to sit down with the laptop and start drawing a biplane!
That means I have to decide which one before than.
