Default RE: GP ultimate bipe power setup

/Edit/ Cobra99, that's a looker! Great covering, do you have any tip for building the GP U40?
Thanks! I just wish I could get that metallic Monokote to stop wrinkling. [:@]

As for building tips, just build light. I didn't, and it still flies great, but I know it could be better. I think some of the lightening holes in the fuse could be enlarged, along with creating some on the top of the fuse just forward of the canopy. Also, if you can make room for it, a pull-pull rudder system wouldn't be a bad idea. I don't fly this plane at full throttle anyway, but even in a low power dive I get a hint of flutter out of the rudder from time to time. It's just a huge surface and there's not much else that can be done I'm afraid.

Other than that, just build how you normally would, and enjoy!
