Default RE: GP ultimate bipe power setup

Spicoli,
Very nice looking bipe. I have a saito 91 in my hog bipe, but I hate to take it out of the thing, I just love the hog too much. What engine do you have in your plane? I've pretty much ruled out a 2 stroke. I have a lot of planes with 2 strokes, and only my hog has a 4. Its time for another one I think. Going to the hobbie store tomorrow to purchase an OS70. I really don't care if it will pull out of a hover or not. I have other planes that I can do that with. I just want a bipe that is a little more (or a lot more) acrobatic than my hog.

Navy18,
I built the rest of the tail feathers tonight and after getting a good look at the rudder I decided to leave it stock. You're right, it is plenty big enough. I also decided to go with the single servo setup. I have a few high torque, high speed servos I bought for my raptor helicopter, so I think I will rob one of those for this project.
Also for you and anyone else, this is my first kit build of this magnatude, so any advise or tips or problems you guys found out building this kit would be greatly appreciated.

thanks. Tim
