Default RE: Hog Bipe into a monoplane?

How about just scratch building another top wing and fly it as a bipe again? It would be about the same amount of work.
Well, I still have the bipe.. these are just the leftovers.

The "Hog Bipe" is a spin-off of Sig's famous "Astro Hog" which was one of the most sucessful first Bipes back in the 60's (That's where the name "Hog Bipe" came from)

It's basically the same fuse with a 71" wing
I realize that, I did some quick calculations and figure that the chord on Astro Hog must be a little wider than the chord of the bipe to get the stated wing area.. allowing for the fact that the Astro Hog has only one wing and a greater span.

Pat, yes. If you could find out how much he extended the wingspan that would be great. As for ribs, I figured I could just add a few more at the same spacing as the existing ribs.

Thanks all.
