The selection is limited for ARFs. However, there's lots out there for kits, you just won't find them on the "big" online vendors web sites. House of Balsa, Lanier, Marutaka and Pilot all have choices.

Ace Simple series planes are good, and they have a nice bipe for a .15 that fly's great.

You're right, I forgot Ace. Also should mention that Marutaka has a .15 size bipe, called Little Half. However, it's a kit and is anything but simple to build.

The funnest little 15 size plane that I have flown was the Ace All Star Bipe. I think they discontinued that years ago, but I think they have an Ultimate Bipe.

Minn - the SIG is only good with a 32!!! Hahahaaa ... I heard one of my LHS owner put in an OS32 and it was a missile! After a while the engine went faster than the plane!!! Hahahaaaaa ...

It is not a bipe but look at the Lanier Stinger, it is easy to build and flew very well. Im not a fan of ABS parts but on a small plane like this one it worked very well. The turtle deck, cowl and wheel pants are ABS. I flew it with an OS .15 for a couple of seasons then gave it to another club member and he still has it. On take offs it tracked like an arrow (paved runway) and was easy to land.

You might want to check out the Sig Nitro Rascal ARF. I believe that accepts a .15.
