RE: First bipe
The Ultimate is an example of a bipe that handles almost nothing like any other bipe! The thin wings and clean lines allow for landings that act more like a monoplane.
As far as the aircraft at hand, the BUSA pup, you should not have any surprises. They fly great. One thing though, the rigging that BUSA recommends sometimes lends itself to an aircraft that climbs, so be ready for this on takeoff. This is a symptom of positive incidence angle relative to the stab. This is the case at least with the triplane and the Fokker DVII. Have fun and good luck!
