Nice Thread. Am not as experienced a pilot as you fellows. Am interested in your experiences comparing the flight characteristics of the Concept Models ¼ scale Fleet bipe with other bipes you have flown. Would not want to spend time building the Concept Models Fleet Bipe, only to get out to the flying field and find its flight characteristics disappointing. For example:

How would you compare the Fleet bipe with say Chuck Cunningham ¼ scale, Flair Tiger Moth, Flair Stearman, ¼ scale Flybaby, Balsa USA, and others?

Though of different sizes, flying-wise, how does the Fleet bipe compare with the Hog bipe?

Would you say that Fleet bipe is as stable in the air, and as easy to land as other bipe choices (a little worried about porpoising)?

Don’t find aerobatic stunts particularly rewarding. Stability, smoothness is paramount. And a little forgiveness on landings. In this light, is the Fleet bipe as good a choice as possible for a DIY bipe?

Any and all comments and advice appreciated.
