RE: First bipe?
I've Have/had the following bipes:
CG Ultimate (2)
Ace 4-60
Andrews Aeromaster (3) real ones, not the Great Planes ones
Global Tekate
Cermark Pitts
Midwest Super Steerman
Kyosho Tiger Moth
GP Tiger Moth
Phaeton 90
Of these I think the ones I ENJOYED the most were the Aeromasters and the 4-60. Wonderfull planes. If the Hog bipes fly anything like the Astro Hog, buy it, build it, fly it! An Ultimate in a .60 size or larger is also a good choice.
