Default RE: biplanes yay or ney

yeah... a bipe is not the best second plane. but then again, my first bipe was an ultimate. it must have been my fifth plane after trainer, cap232, cub, Zen50 and maybe even another pattern plane. loved it though... looks great in the air.

problems? loses speed quickly so you must be careful on landing. CG is a pain the butt to get right. orientation in the air is difficult (trust me, i didn't think this would be a problem but it was!) and lastly, tail draggers aren't easy as it is...

i'm sure i left out a ton of things... but really, it's not the best second plane.
