That has been my feelings too when I was going through my Bipe stage. Here is one I built using Gordon Whitehead plans of one you never see, it's a Krier Kraft, there was only one full scale built. My friend built his to scale, white and red but being color blind I did mine so I could see it. I used a YS 1.10 in this plane. Ailerons on both wings and it had a roll rate of a drill bit at high speed. Plans even have the wheel pants shown and the LG functions with a spring system. I think there are several bipes I have built in my photo gallery. When I was building Bipes I grabbed up kits as I found them but plans are now the way to go.
Found that RCM still has these plans. I really like the looks of the Krier Kraft bipe.

I can't remember everything about the Krier Kraft but if you look it up on the net there was only the one built and is now on display I think in Kansas. My building buddy and I met here on RCU when we were both building it and helped each other out, we still do that today. His was a total scale build, I'm color blind so I had to cover it so I could see it in the air. Mr. Whitehead has some very good designs. I'm told, haven't built one myself, that his P-38 is one of the better designs around. There are some very good planes that are never seen at a fly in if you build from plans.
