Does anybody have a Diablotin Bipe? Report! Report!

Tell me all about it... Build? Engine? Traps? Etcetera... You know the drill... Report! Report!

I'd also like to see some feedback from others that have this Bipe.

Great minds think alike eh ?

Here's what I found out...

I e-mailed a few questions about this last night. I got a call from Z.B. at Esprit Models this evening. Very nice guy. They're built in the Czech Republic. 'glass fuse, built up wings. Oracover on it. Wire main gear, but, ZB told me he has changed his to aluminum by adding 2 mounting blocks inside the fuse. Plug in bottom wing (just like the SIG Somethin Extra) 1 piece top wing. A rather large access hatch below the top wing. You can see it in the picture tripacer loaded between the two stars on the fuse. Cowl is 3.5" wide by 5" tall. Four struts at the center and two struts two ribs from the wingtip. 7 standard servos, each aileron has it's own servo. Rudder and elevator servos are tail mounted. Crash parts are in stock.

ZB said it was not a high speed plane but, he said it'll take off and go vertical in 5 feet with a 91fs. Loops with 10 foot diameter. Empty weight at 60 oz's.

I was told shipping to our neighborhood would be $20 to $25.

If this plane is anything like the impression ZB gave me on the phone, it ought to be a winner.

Let us know about yours everybody!!!
