I think we may be getting a little worked up fast on this. If this is your second plane after the aerobird swift, you may want to rethink it. I am not that advanced, but from what i have gleaned here a bipe might be best as a third or more plane, not a good second. There are other planes like lower wingers that might be better for a second that you could use the same gear in and move to.
Just want to make sure it is a good investment and not a hasty mistake.
