Default RE: New Ugly Stick Biplane

I also got a chance to fly the same bird that Spinman and Twinman flew. It was a very nice and easy fly and will not be a boring bipe, like some. it will get up and go as well as flop and spin with no complaints or hassels.

The only knock I can say about it is that as we are on a paved runway and as it was the first bipe in a very long time I made a landing with a small bounce and on the second touch the prop touched the runway and killed the motor. I would say that it is a combination of a large prop and a short set of gear (the stance is low), but it could even be a better incentive to make sure your greasing all your landings.

A 35 and 10X4 could take care of all that.
