Agreed, I had flown nothing but bipe for a number of years and found some a lot better then others. A lot depends on set up too. The best all around Bipe I ever had was my 66 inch Tiger Moth, it was as close as a trainer as I have ever gotten but it would still stunt when needed. I have flown several giant scale Ultimate ARFs for people, several I had assembled and set up for them. Some were just better then others but the Ultimate is a full on stunt plane and can get away from someone new to flying or just returning to the hobby.Most 3-D planes are easy to fly if you move the CG forward and cut down on the control throws and soften them up a bit. I love Bipes but hate assembling them. I could get my Moth and Boeing into my van assembled but it took a while to figure out how. I took both of them with me to most IMAA events fully assembled.

That's perhaps forty years ago so yes Steve my opinon remains the same any of the ultimates are not really a good choice.
