Default Hog Bipe vs Astro Hog

I have had both planes for a while now, each has a four stroke 90. The old Astro Hog has a larger wing and lighter loading than the bipe version. They really are two different planes with the older low wing plane being more like a trainer than the biplane. The Hog Bipe is really a pig and lands a little like one. Although I enjoy the heck out of the bipe, I found that its higher wing loading requires a little more speed on landing and still sometimes it just kind of flops down, you know what I mean. Solution was a Dubro fiberglass landing gear. The bipe is a blast to fly with the extra drag making it a not too fast sport aerobatic plane. I know I will always have one in my fleet.
