Default Beautiful Bipe: Recovery project

Hi guys,
I acquired this beauty of an aircraft from a veteran who certainly knew how to build them exquisitely. I even have the ancient plans for this bipe which says it is a WIZARD bipe by Sterling Models designed for RC, CL or free flight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, thankfully mine is a rc version with space for those old era servos and receiver. Very solidly built plane.

Wingspan : Top wing - Approx 1.4 m
Bottom wing – 1 m
Length: Approx 1m

Dry Weight: 1.5Kg/ 51 oz only airframe and wheels (no conering, radio gear or engine)

What makes it more exciting is that this is my first bipe and after years on eating dust in a garage, it will return to where it was supposed to be…in the air.


I plan for a 46Fx with a 11x6 or 11x7 APC or 11x7 Top flite wood prop with a white and red trim.

Has anyone seen/heard about one of these bipes before? Any comments, colour scheme suggestions, Engine size/prop (plans say .29 to .45) are welcome.

I’ll post my progress on this regularly.
