G'Day from "Downunder" where flying upside down is normal.
I'm a "newbie". Have been visiting as a guest for a while and learning heaps. Time for a question, so I have registered.
I am seriously contemplating building a Biplane. My 1946 Aeronca 11AC is great fun but I like the idea of LAROASA (learned that term here) and the Aeronca is older than I am, so I treat it gently.
I am very taken with the Acrosport II and have bought a set of plans to study. I notice, by comparison to the Pitts family, that the Acrosport upper wing is not swept back.
I assume there is a reason for the sweep on the Pitts and not on the Acrosport. I aslo assume there is some difference in handling between the two types because of the sweep. Can anyone educate me?
Cheers Peter L
