To Mr. Corwell:
A plan of the Twini should be available from  Thierry Sonier, Southern France. It's a very good plan. I'll try to send you a private Email, since I don't know if Thierry would like to have his address made public.
Here's a picture of Luciano Compostella' biplane "Falco". I have got a 8 x 12 in plan copy from Luciano. If somebody is interested I can send it to him ( quality is not very good in this reduced version.

Could Mr. Schier possibly have made that Tramp any more complex?  I am in awe...

An Old Time Stunt biplane that hasn't been mentioned is the "Over Easy". It was kitted by Johnnie Casburn in the late 1940's. It was a profile biplane with about a 36" span, which would do a creditable job of the OTS pattern. Lew Woolard used to fly one at the Vintage Stunt Championships with a Super Cyclone .60 on ignition.

Would it fly as good as a 1951 Nobler or an All America Senior?    NO!

It would fly as good as an overweight Ringmaster, though.

It is nice to see your comments on SH.   ;D   Many years ago one of our club members built your Duetto.  Todd and I both flew it several times and were VERY impressed!
I've been trying to remember, But several years ago there were several Bipes done by a Brit that looked interesting...  Dancing Girl springs to mind but don't know if that is correct....   ???
Thanks for your comments on the Biplanes!  Hope to see you at VSC again.   ;D

I remember Big Art built a Casburn SE-5A profile that was astounding.  It would easily out-pattern a Ringmaster, probably came closest to a un-flapped Magician or similar bird.  Did not really have any vices, I KNOW I have campaigned full-stunters that did not fly as well!  As I recall the outline is pretty close to scale, with equal sized wings and relatively thin airfoil, no flaps.  If I was building a Bipe for stunt I would use that one as my starting point.

He has re-covered it at least two times since the original build and I think it is still RTF some 30+ years after the first build!

Don't even bother cutting the kit! Get a "short kit" from Kyke at Tank's Hangar. I believe mine was $85, and it fills a large kit box! Really nice workmanshit!

Ralph, you might want to edit your post. You mispelled "workmanship"

I would not point this out any other time. Just check and see what I mean.
