LeeG,
My first Bi-plane is a Waco YMF5 1/6th scale. It's a fun plane to fly. I have it powered now with a Super Tigre 90 2 stroke. I started with a K&B 61 in her. She flew minimally with the 61. I have become accustomed to flying Warbirds and thought I would try a bipe. Yes fellas, I actually have a civilian type aircraft. I hate to admit it, but I do. The first thing I learned is take offs are a little different. I don't allow her tail to come up until I reach flying speed, or she wants to nose over and back flip. That happened twice before I got the hang of it. The rest is a piece of cake. All I have to do to land her is line up on the final approach, slowly cut tht e power and she comes right down to the prettiest 3 point landings I ever saw. I have cast a lingering eye on the new Great Planes PT-17 Stearman ARF Bipe, but I have way too many planes in the almost being finished mode. I need another plane like I need another hole in my head. Besides, it is an ARF. Try a bipe...you'll really enjoy it. Good luck.

"Keep 'Em Flying!"
