Default RE: SIG: Hog Bipe vs. Smith Miniplane

I had more fun with the Smith in the air but it really was a hand full on the ground. When Brian said it was a ground looping queen he was dead on!! After you get used to the way it handles on take off it's OK, landing wasn't too bad. I ended up having to install an OS 70FS in mine to get it to CG without so much lead in the nose but that could have been the way I had the gear set up. The Hog is a great all around plane and I had a gang of fun with it too.
Tough choice, I like them both but the Smith is a lot cooler looking??? Maybe??
