The first pic is my current Sig Hog Bipe. The second one is my last hog bipe. The next 2 are two Dave Patrick Ultimates. The last picture is from the top of my current Hog Bipe.

Coupel pics frrom this morning at the field... Not a real nice day... Cloudy and misty rain...
At least it wasn't 95 degrees, 95% humidity. I was sweating so hard I couldn't see my plane a couple of times for the water in my eyes!. I'll fly in the rain, as long as it's not hard enough to get into my plane, and the clouds sometimes are good for contrast.
Anyway, only have one bipe, only had it for a couple of weeks, lovin' it, though. 58 inch top wing, .80 Saito power. Pics below, guess which one is mine.

I love biplanes and have a few.
The Ziroli's Stearman was originally powered by a Saito 5-cylinder, later moved to a Zenoah G-38. The Godfrey's Ultimate has a Zenoah G-42 for power. The Great Plane Pitts is equipped with a Zenoah G-45

This one was built in early 90's. It is a Byron Staggerwing, with a Zenoah G-38 for power. A little on the heavy side, as all Byron designs, had a realistic retractable landing gear. I won several regional and national FAI F4C championships with this plane, while still living in Brazil.
