That's another good point, Gray Beard, against bipes as second airplanes. You need additional servos, ectensions and other hardware for the upper wing.

When I bought the Reactor (in scratch-&dent, mind you) for $150, I took 3010 servos in bulk for 18 or so dollars each and I took the remaining off my trainer. It was still more expensive than buying anything local but I got a far superior produce. Sometimes you have to weigh that in your purchase decision. And, No, I am not into 50cc yet

Getting back to the topic, bipes are more expensive in the first place, easier to convert to matchsticks, need more hardwork on the setup and after all that are smaller and more difficult to fly. Not characteristics desirable in a second airplane.

LT-40 is a good kit, I have flown it though not the Sig one. I took a Phoenix Tiger for my second and never was comfortable with it- characteristics of that airplane I guess. Went quickly to a Phoenix Topstar I got used (similat to Twist 3D) and loved it so much I picked up a new one that was the last box in the LHS. But I hated that, with the 75AX deadsticking in it, I had to repair every week so I took a Reactor and thoroughly enjoyed it for the short time I flew it. Again, I missed Topstar so this year I put a FS-91 SII on it and it finally settled the airplane. Then the field was shut for 4 months this year due to political reasons and then the Monsoon. I will get back to these in the Winter when flying restarts. Note all these are monoplanes and both Reactor and Topstar are fear-free to fly due to their low speed characteristics.
