Somegeek,
First off I just love the way a bipe looks in the air. Something about two wings just looks cool. Also, when you do a shallow dive without any power you can hear the wind whistling through those wings!!!!!!! Way cool.

But flying characteristics.... They vary from bipe to bipe, just like single wing planes do. But a couple of the biggest differences between bipes and single wing planes are landing and slow flying. Most everybody when learning to fly learns to line up on the runway, chop the throttle, and let the plane settle to the runway. If you do that with a bipe you're more than likely going to be picking up a broken pieces of your plane because it's going to stall. With a bipe you need to learn to fly the plane down to the ground. As I just mentioned, stalling. Bipes do not stall gracefully. They don't stall, but rather just quit flying. And they usually quit flying in an ugly way. You have to learn how to recognize when you bipe is going to quit flying, and learn how to recover a stalled bipe.
