Biplane, when 2 wings are better than 1

[JOCKNEY]

Thanks @Ed Russell, 

 

Anyone else up for a bit of biplane action, not rigging required ?  

 

Cheers Pat 

[Ed Russell]

Make sure you let me know the dates.

I reckon even just acceptable rigging is better than none - that's the excuse I always use anyway!

 

[mackem01]

Put me on the list!

[JOCKNEY]

Hi @Ed Russell & @mackem01

Great to have you with us.

Anyone else tempted ?

Cheers Pat 

[R T Fishall]

Go on Pat, put me down please!

Cheers,

Richard.

Depends on timing - but I have many biplanes waiting to be built.

[Pedro52]

Jockney, put me down for a Sopwith Camel. Found a local connection to them being used near me during WW1.

 

[jovapad]

Built a few, could join if it doesn't interfere with some other GB?

[Mjwomack]

'Put me down Pat', is a phrase that's open to interpretation as I'd enter an AN-2.

Go on, add my name!

[JOCKNEY]

@Pedro52 @jovapad& @Mjwomack

 

Thanks very much

 

Cheers Pat

Right up my alley, Sir!

I have one of those, might be an excuse to build it. Possibly knock up another Cobham related aircraft the HP Clive by converting a Contrail vac.

 

Both Kangaroos (airliner and bomber), backdating a Contrail to HP W8, painted 'pea green' and a couple of Shorts biplane Vacs all sitting needing attention !

Oh I say, now you're talking

My name isn't on your list yet Pat but, with a good selection of biplanes in the stash, I'd like it added please and thank you

[48-Alone-Is-Great]

I have more biplanes in my stash than monoplanes, so: yes!

Hi Richard

 

Please forgive my incompetence at not having welcomed you or put you on the list before now 

No excuses just complete muppetry on my part

 

Cheers Pat 

[JOCKNEY]

Hi @Col. & @48-Alone-Is-Great

 

Great to have you both with us 

 

Cheers Pat

No forgiveness required Pat; you've counted me before the deadline for the bunfight, that's what matters!

Let's see if we can get this pushed over the line; We're nearly there; surely there's more folk out there who want to give a Biplane GB a try? I'd have thought rigging novices would find a GB an excellent environment to give it a go; plenty of support and encouragement and others to learn the ropes alongside?

Come on in, the water's lovely!

Cheers, Richard.

Make space for moi si vous plait Pat.

Awwwww, go on then - sign me up! Wright Flyer or Pitts Special or anything in between!

 

Cheers,

Mark

[tangerine_sedge]

Count me in - I've got a couple of WNW in the stash which need to be built!

[Phantom Phixer]

OK, sign me up please.  

I'm teetering on the brink of the unknown with my first bi-plane., I've always avoided them because of the rigging.  I've got an Airfix 1:48 Tiger Moth and a 1:144 HP42 Heracles that will need a lot of string slinging.

Sounds fun.  I'm in.
