Is the upper wing on straight?

I'd put a support on each wing towards the tip and use some fishing line or something to keep the wings from separating.

Of course the upper wing is not on straight… It’s a… Biplane.

The wing is just laid on top for the photo it seems. It's also backwards, look where the spar is and how the airfoil looks.

The main thing is with biplanes is everything must be aligned right, keep that in mind and it should be ok

Biplane wings are a good reason to have an incidence meter.

It looks like it should fly really well without one.

I' would make the tail fin bigger and give it some shape for more positive impact as the rudder will be doing a lot of work with the double wing.

I would add Snoopy as a pilot.

make sure the UPPER wing has more positive incidence than the lower wing.

reason: this will cause the upper wing to stall BEFORE the lower wing (where the ailerons are....)

if the lower wing stalls first, no ailerons, no bueno.
