I would like to talk with anyone that has built an ARF MK.2 Bipe plane made by AVIOMODELLI.

I am having a little trouble.

thanks-- Jeff

HI...

I might help, I*m building one now as we speak. What is the problem..??

Sandman..

Hi

Thanks for the reply. I have only put three planes together and I got the mk2 on ebay, so I don't know anything about it.
It appears to be a good kit.

I have just started and right now my biggest problem is the ailerons.
I can see how the long rods will go, but how will I get the short
ones in place? And will they stay in place when I get them in.

I am not a very experienced pilot, maybe I should sell this one and try another.

Thanks for any help.

hi jefferyj
the short rods is for upper aileron and stay in place with plastic adaptor glued to the wing

Hi..

Anyone have any info on throw setting on ail\rud\elev..???

I had +2.5 deg on upper wing when mounted on. Had to shim upp the rear of upper wing to get 0-0-0. The lower wing was 0 related to stab..

Would be nice to have some info on how she behaves, ground\air.
I*m using a OS FS 91 Pumper on mine...

Sandman

I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT YOU MOUNT THE UPPER WING AT -1/2 TO -1 DEG NEG
MOST ALL BIPES I HAVE BUILT HAVE HAD THIS ARRANGEMENT AND FLY GREAT.
THIS ALLOWS THE BOTTOM WING TO STALL BEFORE THE UPPER. MY DIRECT CONNECTION ULTIMATE IS SET UP THIS WAY AND IT WORKS.
JMO. HOPE THIS HELPS.

Hi- and thanks for the help on the mk2 bipe.
I thank I understand how the aileron install.

But, I have another question. Some people that I fly with are telling me I should not install the rods. Instead I should install
two servos out on the wings and hing the ailerons with hinges.
Is there any reason for concern with using the rods.

Thanks --Jefferyj

hi jefferyj
some think torque rods(such as bipe mk2) is best
some think direct servos is best
i fly plane with torque rods and plane with servos in wing
but the second is more precise
everyone has its preferences

Hello,

I just got a Mk2. and am going to start it soon. Can someone give me a flight report on this plane? I have a saito .65 or a HB .61 2 stroke, would the .61 2c be a better choice? I think the saito might be two small. I am considering using servo's mounted in the wings, has anyone used 4 servo's or just use the slave rods? Are the flying wires (not in my kit) for looks or are they for structural? Any help would be welcomed.

Hi..

I*m have not flown my Bipe yet, to cold up here, but I have heard that its behave nicely(for a bipe). Found a bloke in far east that powered his with a OS 52. He had done major work to lighten the tailplanes. Also found a German gent, that has a OS 120 up front. I*m going for a OS 91 pumper on mine. If I were to do the bird all over, I would have mounted servos in the wing, preferably 4 mini servos. The flying wires are for looks only, but I'm going to make the tail-plane wires tight, as this aeria needs some beefing up. Anyway it sure is a nice looking bird.

Yo Jeff..

How`bout your Bipe, got it airborne yet..??

Greetings from Norway.

Hi- Now I know of Three kits they sold.
I thought Sandman and me were the only ones.

I have mine ready to paint. I got a Dave Patrick Bipe and put it together and have been flying it. Going to try and paint the mk2
before spring although, here in Alabama It never gets to cool to fly.

I can't Waite for one of us to get one airborne.
