Steve,For some dumb reason I thought you were running a 90 Saito twin... I am sure the 100 is much more powerful. I also think it is a great idea to run an onboard glow setup as I found the little 80 would barley run if one cylinder dropped out... That is a SWEET looking Hog Bipe!!!! I bet it looks great in the air too. I am going to add some more expo to my ailerons and elevator and reduce the throw on low rates, I have 3 rates on the ailerons and never tried the high rate during the test flight. High rate on the elevator was too high... I agree with Rick about the down thrust check, I recently found out how much a model can be improved with just a bit of right thrust on a SIG Fazer I have, now I can knife edge with it where as before without right thrust she wouldnt do it and the loops and stall turns were terrible because of torque. I am enclosing a pic of my little simple CG stand that works great for mono wings but obviously wont on my Bipe unless I knew the CG on the bottom wing... Top wing method is best in my opinion. I also added a pic of my Cub I built with the Saito 80 twin, it is a tight fit and I had to make the cowl 2 pieces but it turned out great. It is also sporting a hand made set of articulating, bungee sprung main gear I built last winter. I sold the Cub to finance another project.

Rick I was out flying today as a matter of fact! it was a little windy but right down the runway and not too choppy, I flew my Jerris Big Boy and my Uproar #2 that I just installed a GMS 47 on in place of the underpowered OS 46AX, it is like a brand new airplane!!!!! so fun to fly now! amazing... I will e-mail you soon, just been busy with Spring cleaning etc. I also built a SIG Riser 2 meter glider and did a few test throws today, sweet... I am waiting for my new surgical tubing for my Up-Start launcher to get a real flight in. O ur club is having a glider fly in next month so I want to fly it there. I need to get my Hog Bipe out and burn up the sky!!!! I can give big thumbs up to the OS 95 AX for ease of starting, Power and how quiet it is, great engine so far, I cant wait to break it in more, very smooth with little to no vibration.

I also wanted to add a pic of my radio bay, less suff in mine due to not having onboard glow, I went with the stock "Nyrod" type elevator and rudder setup, I have to say it works better than I expected, i usually shy away from those but said what the heck... I am starting to like pull pull setups more but this isnt a 3-D airplane or anything and the rudder isnt too big... i think it would be cool to build a Hog Bipe "Wild" with huge counter balanced elevators and rudder for 3-D type flight, I think the ailerons might be ok as is but maybe make them a bit bigger, but then you run into the possibility of flutter, this is a pretty fast airplane, faster than I expected for sure.
