QQ's bipe was designed with the aid of Wayne Ulery as all of QQ's models.

Nikos:

Thanks for the reference. What's amazing about the plane is that it only weights 2.5 KG - which is lower than a normal 40-sized plane!!

I wonder why on earth a YS 170 is needed to power such a light plane. I guess full throttle is never used? I guess the flight weight is higher (closer to 5 KGS or 11 lbs, etc.)

The OXAI models all look to be of the highest quality. However, their appearance (to me) looks a little too rounded; it's almost like they are from a Sci-Fi movie.

I wonder if OXAI could make 'normal' models (like the CAP 232) as light as these F3A models. What do they use: conventional Balsa or Carbon Fibre?

Nice planes for sure. I wonder if cheaper versions are available (like one gets the "Focus sport" in place of the "focus II") for mere mortals such as us!
