@r c,
Is this a kit?
The build and finish quality is outstanding.
It is an example worth following for members who have made models that fly ok, but look a bit rough!
Regards.

Thanks Iyer sir,

It's not a kit, but Kit is available at http://www.radicalrc.com/category/Millennium-E-Kits-239

I wanted to post the build pic while i was building, but i was not sure if i would get time to complete the model soon.
Like my other biplane build (Golden Oldie) where i took almost a year to complete the model and later another six month for the first flight  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
So decided to build this stick biplane and then post it on forum.


While i was searching something on net, i came across the below image of the stick biplane and decided to build one.
I just tried to copy the model in the image, there are no plans for my stick biplane.
Just decided the wing/Fuse size and the rib profile and got the ribs and some other part cut for the model.

I have used 10mm carbon square tube for fuselage and 10mm round tube for wing.
i did a split wing design for this model so that it is easy to carry the model to the field, the guide for the 10mm round tube for the wing was  made of newspaper - which came out very nicely.
This was a quick build, only thing which took most of the time while building was wing covering :)
