Hi Everyone I sure had a lot of fun building and flying this Bi Plane, One word seems to Sum it up about this Bi Plane ( SWEET ) I liked the way the plane comes out of the box, its already finished in a very nice design and colors. I really liked the fact that the carbon fiber tubes come pre installed, and that the elevator and the ailerons are pre hinged. Every thing went together Smooth, and the large control surfaces work very well. This bi Plane made me look good, as it flys very steady, and is very responsive to the controls. I used a KMS-KMB 31-09 Brushless outrunner motor from hobby People, but a Towerpro 2410-09 will work just as well. A 1200 to 1350mah 11.1v lipo seems to be a nice size lipo and weight for this plane. A 11x4.7 prop will give it vertical performance. The large flat area on the fuselage and the big flat area on the wing braces, allows this Bi Plane to knife edge almost forever. This bi plane needs some down thrust to it, about 3 degrees seems to be about right, as it wanted to climb with throttle added, the down thrust cured that, and about 1 degree of right thrust is needed, to counter the big prop wanting to pull it left. 30 min epoxy seems to work very well in glueing it up. Soooo.. My opinion on this Bi Plane is, a BIG THUMBS UP, its easy to build and fly, I really like it, and its a crowd pleaser. Take care Everyone, and Soft landing to you, Chellie
