mrisis,
you have nothing to be worried about with the Hog Bibe. I've had 3 of them and it's a very forgiving plane. my only advice for building it would be pay attention to your CG (as stated above) and make sure your wings are at 0 incidence.

as for flying it. it's very forgiving in the air. but if you've never flown a bipe before, your landings are a bit different. you really don't float them in as you would other planes, but rather you are really going to have to fly it in. the glide slope for the bipe is a lot steeper. but other than that, there is nothing to be afraid of with the hog bipe.
