Also, an important point will be that the ultimate bipe will fly nothing like the foamy bipe. Though they're both biplanes, the weight, power, and likey size will be drastically different, all leading to the handling and properties of flight being drastically different. I would recommend going under the guidance of a much more experienced local pilot. I guess this would be under the same suggestion of having someone else trim it out and set your expos. This is especially important with this plane. I almost killed mine the first day I flew it, as I didn't realize how wide the stock throws are on the control surfaces. Be sure to have the rates WAY down or the controls set low on the control horns. An experienced guide should catch this, but its good to keep in mind as well, considering it is designed to be an acrobatic plane.
