Description

The Simpleton Biplane, for those who learned to fly foamies and ARFs and now want to try building a balsa airplane.

Features:

• Convenient 47 inch span that fits in the back of a car
• Can use any 40 size engine you have lying around
• Pre-cut plywood cabanes that you can’t screw up
• Square fuselage with no cowling or canopy
• Sporty look in spite of being square
• Bottom-only ailerons with wing-mounted servos
• Paper plan, sticks, sheet wood, and hardware included in kit
• Compatible with wide variety of engines
• It flies great!

You may have heard that balsa flies better, and that building is as much fun as flying. If you think you can hack it, take a whack at it. This project will get you going in the right direction.  The construction manual is posted online.

The Simpleton 40 is a lot of fun even if you already know how to build.  You could probably throw it together over a weekend.
