Default Need your suggestion for a small biplane

BMA,

yeah, the plane I was trying to think of was the BiFly. I think it was marketed by Hobby Lobby. I built one a few years ago and it's an OK little plane. I've also built the GEEBEE and really like it. The fuse is "built-up" as opposed to sheet structure...outside of that it's about as easy to build as a bipe gets. The instruction are old school (minimal) but if you've built a plane, you shouldn't have a problem.
The only draw-back that I've noticed in the Geebee is that it doesn't like cross winds. Most bipes are a little testy in that regard, but GeeBees fuselage shape seems to magnify the problem. As soon as the plane gets to flying speed, the problem goes away.
