Default Which Bipe to get?

Well, I put my TM through it's maiden flight and 2 follow ups. The first flight was a little tense as I didn't have enough throw in the rudder to turn left very well. I increase throw for the second flight and it was better but not spectacular. There was very little wind but what there was, was turbulent. I just never felt like I had much authority over the rudder but this may have had something to do with the wind conditions. I'm not saying it didn't fly well, which it did, but it wasn't what I expected. Still, it was a blast to be able to fly in my back yard and the TM sure makes it easy.

The only mods I've done thus far are using epoxy to fix the wing dihedral, adding strut wires, and laminating balsa onto the struts. I think I will upgrade my battery pack next.

First off though, I better put more throw in that rudder
