Biplanes have always held a special position in the history of aviation. Even today biplanes are still very popular, especially for aircraft which are required to combine agility, relatively low wing loading and compact dimensions. The distinctive biplane "look" also attracts many modelers to these aircraft, but in many cases they are frightened off by the considerable extra work and complexity compared to mono wing airframes. Not so with the Gemini ELAPOR model, which is quick to build, fast to rig, and available at a very resonable price, even with the suggested brushless motor power package. In comparison with models of "classic" balsa and film covering construction, it is downright inexpensive and infinitely more durable.
