Try the World Ultimate 30 $149 from QUANTUM free shipping have one with an MDS 48 installed flies great. Small enough to fit in the trunk of a small car fully assembled. I have another on order going to install Magnum XL52 four stroke in it. I used Sig Somthin Extra landing gear did not like the wire gear also give it about 1 1/2 inches wider footprint. Aircraft was easy to assemble used an incidence meter but did not really need it everything checked out ok. Set it up per manuals throws but put 35% expo in the ailerons.

Well if you like to build it hard to beat the Sig Hog Bipe as an all around can do anything bipe and land like a trainer.

If you are intrested in a fun slow flying bipe check out the global fokker dVII. It's a little squirlly on the ground but a *****cat in the air. I have a magnum 52 four popper on mine and it's a match made in heaven......Fun on a lazy summer day when you want to just relax.

The sig hawg Bipe is a great first bi plane, but it wont fly with a 40. Most 40 size bipes I've flown are a bit squirly and a sharp eye is needed to fly it well. I like the larger planes, as they are more forgiving and I think fly much better. Building is a bipe is always a pain, but once finished it will be your favorite plane. The Sig has been one of my easiest bipes to build. Nothing like seeing one flat spin. Very gentle or wild. You chose. I have a 91 4 stoke in mine and wouldn't mind have a 100 or 120. Wish I had a GP 40 size bipe. Dont remember what it is called, but it looks sharp. Once again it is a kit though.

The Global Hobbies Ultimate Bipe is an excellent .46 size bipe. It went together well and is fun to fly .It's great looking ,easy to fly and highly arebatic . Buy one . Jeff

It's discontinued right?
