Out of all the bipes I have owned and flown, over 10 of them, this was by far the worst one!!! I bought the kit about 5 years ago and a friend in the club, a very good builder BTW, finished it. He had built several bipes in the past and we both though this one would be a breeze! Wrong!
After setting it up per planes and putting in an ASP .40 we tried to fly it. It was the worst flying plane I had ever flown period! Even worse that my Air Core trainer of years past. It would all of a sudden do a nose dive at certain airspeeds and at other speeds it was marginal on control.
I spent a few days one winter checking and adjusting the incidence to set it up more like my Goldberg ultimate but even after that it was terrible. I ended up trying to do a knife edge at full throttle and the darn thing snapped on me, right into the ground! I never need any bipe do that before. It was kind of fun to watch and the plane is rebuild able but not by me. I might take out the gear and give it away for someone to fix up and hang from their ceiling.
I wish you the best of luck with yours,
Randy
