Di-do (?) Biplane
« on: February 28, 2007, 10:19:49 AM »
Anybody have any knowledge about or where I could get plans for this AC?    This is a profile biplane, .15 sized or so.

There is(was) a Baby Di-Do in the early 50's.
Had one then, plan to build another, some day. New power (ie Norvel) should make it interesting.

No guarantees on that one but if it's there it can't stay hidden for long, I will give it my best shot.

You asked for it, it's a small picture but you get the general configuration. Just scroll down the site it's on the left hand side. OK?

Sounds a lot like the Bi-Slob in flight characteristics. 15 d. engine offset; "tumbling" down from the top of the circle; etc.
