WSH,

Refer to page 4, post #79 and page 8, post 191, in this thread. Damifino has done a marvelous job on his Skybash. (his words.) I imagine he would be able to tell us how his flies with the open cockpit.

BTW I am hard at work on mine. I build so darn slow. [] But it is nearing the end. Tonight I did the linkage for the ailerons on one side. I did it the DaRock way. DaRock, your picture, back at the Ultimate thread, was a great resource. I basically copied you verbatim.

This is my first bipe. I am astounded at how heavy they are. Mine is 7lb 13 oz. That is right in line, but it is such a brick to pick up! I guess you have to look at it that there is LOTS of wing area.
