Biplane Wingspan help...

Hi, i'm thinking of building a foamy bipe that will fly slow and 3d good. NOT from plans but just one that i drew up. My question is how do i put the bottom wing on to the fuse so that it is not flimzy? I know that i should put some wood and foam to hold it still and stable, but i just don't know how to mount the wing to the fuse. I also think that i could make slots in the bottom wing and bottom fuse.


My other question is about how long should the wingspan and length of the bipe be? Mostly for outdoor flying. I was thinking about 36in. for span and 41in for fuse.
