I've been flying my old 4-40 Bipe that was built from an Ace RC kit and have received a lot of comments from folks at the field about how well it flies. I've also been asked where they might get one of them for themselves. I haven't been able to find any kits for it and I know that they aren't interested in building one from plans (RCM plan #977, construction article in 10/86). I have noticed the apparent similarities between it and the Tiger Bipe that is available here in the states and wonder if this isn't the same plane with a few modifications to ease production-line building using standard length sticks of wood? It sure does appear to have all of the same moments and design highlights with only slightly reshaped tailfeathers & cheap wire gear instead of the wide spaced aluminum gear that the 4-40 used. So how about it? Anyone in the know on this or have the means to compare the two side-by-side so that I can offer them some useful advice next time I'm out with the bipe?

Thanks!
