Auto Credit Based on belugasub's Biplane Challenge! [30 upvote prize]
This is the 1st entry for the BiPlane Challenge. This is a single seat / pilot aircraft capable of aerobatic maneuvers as well as being smaller and lighter. The model possesses working yaw pedals, flight stick, and throttle. AG1 operates the Nav lighting, AG2 the strobe lights, AG3 the landing light, AG4 the vertical stabilizer lights, AG5 operates the panel lighting, and AG7 operates the overhead light. A fun model to build and one that inspires towards the next design.

Np! @Davjlee
@jamesPLANESii good point :). When i'm flight testing my models i'l adjust wing lengths and angles often. Sometimes, I get caught up on other sections and don't quite make it back lol. I see it now though. I'll probably continue to improve this model as I create new ones and will repost as a normal post later in the future. Thank you for the support and critique :). Always appreciated!
Cool livery but for some reason the tail wings are almost as wide as the wings...
Planes look best when the span of the tail wings are around 1/3 of the span of the main wings,
