Can anyone suggest a good ARF Bi-Plane? I've got some flight time on a trainer and a Dazzler (Kit), and I'm really intrigued by two wings. Thought a lot about Great Lakes Bipe (Modeltech) But the forums in this web-site absolutely HATE it.[:@]
I'd prefer something in the 40 Size realm. Thanks Guys.

...nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

It is not an ARF but it has the flying characteristics that you are looking for: Sig Hog Bipe.

In the ARF try the Kyosho Super Stearman, not as easy as the Hog Bipe but an easy flying bipe.

Pacaeromodels makes a 120 and a 30 size, I have not seen the 30 size, but if the quality is as good as their others, it should be a winner.

Here's a link:

I haven't flown one, but I've heard that the Thuder Tiger Tiger Bipe is an easy flying bipe.

The Kyosho tiger moth is a nice plane. I haven't finished mine yet (too many other projects, and I'm going to paint it a different scheme). But the kit seems acceptable, and while I haven't flown it yet, everything I see with it says it should be a nice, easy to fly plane, even trainer-like, except for the drag.

If you don't mind having a profile bipe the Sig Ultimate Fun Fly is a good one. But if you want something that flies in a more scale-type manner this isn't the one to get.
