Title: Di-do (?) Biplane
Post by: brucefinley 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.

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