Default RE: 2012 Hog Bipe rides again

No I dont have an incidence guage... should I check it? yes but I will fly her as is as everything looks fairly straight... I wouldnt even know how to tell if I need to add more positive or neagitve incidence in the top wing, the bottom wing to horizontal looks good. I usually dont get too carried away on exact measurelments but I suppose on a Bipe I should check... I am thinking you would need to fill in the top hole with CA or Epoxy and redrill the cabane struts or make a new pair. I traced every part on the Hog as I worry these days about kits being discontinued... I could build an entire Hog Bipe if I really wanted to from the plans and tracings. I do this on every kit I build these days. I think today might be the day to maiden her, it is looking pretty good for the weather. I remember seeing a video of one of these hovering on a Saito 100... impressive, in fact I really wanted a Saito 100 in my Bipe but I have the one I own in my U-Can -Do 60 and it is all trimmed and balancd as is so I dont want to change it. Actually the 95AX would be better suited for the U-Can-Do 60. Here are a couple of more pics I took outside with a little better light. I also posed it with my Astro Hog sister ship.
