Default RE: Easy flying Bipe plans?

I've built two RCM Acrostar's. Actually only two fuselages since the wings outlived the first fuselage. It got so oil soaked I tossed it. Came out back around March of '73 and I built the first one back then. I built the second around '89 or so and still have the top wing. I've since started another (third) fuselage and lower wing. They fly well and do well with anything from a .40 to a .61 2 stroke but my next one will get a Saito .72 or .80.

I didn't use lite ply on the fuselage with mine. I used hard 1/8" balsa instead. I also used stringers and open contruction on the "turtledeck" aft of the cockpit. Plans are only about $10 or so. I ordered a balsa package from Lone Star and it was very good quality.

My $.02 worth.
