Wow, Cherry, that is a neat one! I love those first hour of aviation birds. They're tough to build cause off their delicate construction, so hats off to your result! :shoutout:
Cheers,

What he said! That is some mighty fine work. . . and a not-often-seen bird.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

thanks to you, the biggest problem is that there is no rigging plan include, so you have to look for pictures and you only find pictures of replica aircrafts. The wing rigging are only 2 wires, the shorter wires of the tail are from hot formed sprues... looks difficult, but most biplanes are more difficult.

Next of this kind of history is a early AVRO biplane, but thats a future project...
