Default New Hog Bipe

Just started flying the one I finished 6 months ago. To be blunt, I'm impressed.
I usually build and fly Stearmans, and I've done one Ultimate, but the Hog flew right off the boards.

Power is a .61 pumped K&B twister with a Mac's tuned muffler. 12, 500 RPM on a 12/6 2-blade and 12, 200 on a three blade. It like more air flowing over the surfaces.

A note of caution with those wing hatch mounted servos - I had one of mine come off twice - the lite ply didn't hold the wood mounts (split laminations) so I'm going to epoxy the servo sides directly to the hatches.

Another curious thing is it likes full throttle snaps, but not regular snaps.
