I would think a biplane would be more of a challenge than a monoplane, so my hat's off to you for going at it. Having flown, and flown in one, I look forward to seeing your progress. No pressure though, I am no longer a judge.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I like this craft Woljags. Looking forward to seeing it done sir. And Eric, I keep turning greener and greener man.

 

[vikingBerserker]

[woljags]

[Matt308]

Looks good. What's wrong with your kidneys that causes them to ache? That sounds real serious. I hope it gets better for you.

 

[woljags]

its kidney stones,unfortuantly i've a complaint that keeps making them,they tell you to keep drinking water to flush them away but there is only so much water you can drink,very painful and if you can't pass them another opp,i've had 3 opps so far

 

[Gnomey]

That AN-2 is an amzing a/c....
Had a chance to take a ride and take control of one in California. We were hardly rolling down the runway, full flaps and we jumped up of the ground like we were in an elevator. It flew like an old Ford truck with a worn steering box, turn the wheel and in a minute or two it caught up and banked. It had checker plate for a flight deck. The brakes were air brakes like on a truck! Steered by pulling the brake on one side or the other like a tgrack layer tractor. But man-o-man it could fly slow. What a ride.

 

[Airframes]

Sorry to hear about the stones Bob - hope things work out well.

 

[woljags]

thanks Terry,its just one of those things to remind you your older
