Default RE: 2012 Hog Bipe rides again

Wow I would love to live near the water and work on any boat!!! I know boats can be a pain too though. I am glad your measurements are that close to being perfect! lets face it, it doesnt take much to tweak it, i was a bit leary of the cabanes myself, they had to be slightly re bent just in order to even fit and they werent exactly straight... I have also inadvertantly induced a twist or bow wth the Monokote application... easilly fixed if you catch it. I weighed my Hog Bip last night and was amazed to find she weighs exactly 8.5 pounds... I am ok with that! I think a 125 Saito might be a bit much for the Hog but who knows? I am betting the Saito 100 is ideal as the guys were saying in one thread I was watching awhile back. My only problem with my 100 is getting it to idle low without quitting, I have it pretty darn close now but I also have it on a light airplane, an ugly U-Can-Do 60 sized, it is the perfect power match for this ugly but great flying airplane. I have my Bipe sitting down on the charge bench with hopes of flying her againtoday. I removed some throw from the ailerons and elevator and increased the expo (I love expo) I will take a while to zero in on the perfect setup but I will keep tweaking it.
