First day of winter......
 

G'day All,

I woke up this morning on the first day of winter and thought to myself since the weathers going to be bad for the next few months what plane can i build and then suddenly.......[sm=idea.gif]a Biplane came to mind, i remember asking afew chaps at my local club and they said that they're a pritty easy Plane to build, now i'm looking for a .60 size Biplane to build over a 2-3 month period, but the question is what one[&:]? are their any putt putt Biplanes out there you would highly recommend?

Cheers Guys :D

Happy Flying

Paul

You still have 20 days before winter starts.
getting a little ahead of yourself.
A biplane is good.
Which one are you thinking about?

this one?
not much in the .60 size that I saw at tower

The GP Ultimate is a great bipe. But one of the best out there has got to be the Sig Hog Bipe. I've had 3 of them and they are probably one of the best flying bipes out there

Nope, in Oz our seasons change on the 1st of whatever month because we don't use the position of the sun like most (if not all) the rest of the world does. This may be because us Aussies find it easier to remember :D

Hmmm,
Nope she's winter alright 1st of June = first day of winter your just alittle slow :)

Anyway after looking at afew suggestions and looking further on the web i have come across 3 Biplanes i like, i just can't make up my mind on what one i want......

1st theres the.... Bristol Bullet

2nd is the... Fairy Fly Catcher

And lastly....Hanriot H.D.1 Biplane

If i knew how to put pictures of them on here i would, anyone care to tell me how that would be a great help ;)

I would'nt trade Victoria for the world.....well maybe i lied i'de trade it for the world! hehehe :D

OH! i almost forgot if anyone knows any site (Australia prefered) that may sell these kits online *Look's at Allan* :)
(I looked with no luck :( )

G'day to you too

Just out of curiosity, what's meant by "bad weather" in Victoria? In my part of the world (Finland) we (at least I) fly all the year round, even in sub-zero temperatures (and yes, that's sub-zero temperatures even if we talk Fahrenheit: -18C equals minus nought point something F, and we fly even then, if we get our engines started :D) So are we talking rain and high winds, basically?

G'day,

yeah pretty much, i live & fly near the bay so i always get the sea breeze and it rains every other day in winter, yet we have a so called "drought" hehe

Happy Flying

Paul

Yeah, the rain sucks when you want to fly. If I get desperate, I sometimes put my transmitter in a plastic carrier bag (separate holes for neck strap and antenna :)) and fly in the rain. I wouldn't actually go to the flying field if it's raining, but if it starts raining when I'm there, I might do this.

Hang in there, and winter will soon be over (and, alas, so will our summer [:o]).

PS. Say hello to my uncle in Perth, WA if you run into him. :D
