Default New Hog Bipe

Lovely Hog Bipe! I like the trim over the yellow, looks great and should be easy to see.

I would make one suggestion, though, that has proven to be worthwhile on my HB. Most everyone else I know that's built one has made this same mod. With the gear in the stock location, as I see yours is, the plane will have a bit of nose-over tendency on grass fields that can be aggravating. I moved my gear forward about the width of the gear (1 to 1.5"). This improves ground handling considerably and is easy to do. Just glue another piece of 1/4" ply just forward of the stock piece, add reinforcement, and relocate the gear. Cover over the old holes and you're in business.

Enjoy your HB! They're great flying birds!
