I am just finishing my Sig Pig, so I will soon have two bipes in my hangar. I love the look of biplanes and I certainly enjoy flying the GP Ultimate 40. However, I fully believe that the generalizations made in this thread are bona fide and the recommendation that a biplane is GENERALLY not a good choice as a second plane is absolutely true.
I suspect that posters who deny that a biplane presents a more confusing visual image do nothing more ambitious than fly their airplanes in rectangular traffic patterns over and over.
I choose to fly my scale bipes in a scalelike manner. I don't attempt manuvers that are not prototypical. That's what scale modelling is all about. It just so happens that my Scale Ultimate 300 also does very good manuvers that are not just flying in a rectangular box. Come on down to sunny Florida, and put your money where your mouth is.
