Has anyone built a biplane wing with carbon yet? It seems to be the way the industry is leaning with newer aircraft manufacturing. I'm sure some of the biplane racers are done with all composites, but I haven't seen anyone doing composites with aerobatic biplanes.
I would think it would be quicker than building a wood/fabric wing especially when it comes to the rib stitching and paintwork epecially if you were to build more than one set of wings.
