Introduction/Acroduster?

[Youngbuilder26]

I am new to the forum and new to biplanes as well. I helped my dad build an RV6 that I fly, and am interested in building a tube and fabric biplane. And learning everything involved.

I was curious as to what the feasibility of starting a new acroduster project would be. I have seen bits and pieces saying not many builders around anymore and hard to find certain materials.

I am also a little over 6' tall. Would I even fit in one?

Last question, does anyone know of any built with stick ribs or are they all routed? I am 22 and it will be a slow, money tight project and think stick ribs would be more fun!

Thanks,
Derek
