I want to build a 60 size bi-plane. My building experience is only with having built two 4 star 60s and one 4 star 120. And these where not easy for me to build, although they did turn out pretty nice. So I don't want to get into anything over my head, but would love to build a bipe. any suggestions?????????

Easiest bipe ever to build (and fly) IMO is the Sig Hog Bipe. A 60 2 stroke will power it fine too.

The build is a little more envolved than the four-stars you've built, but Sig provides good instructions that guide you all the way.

For a full review I wrote a few years back, go to http://webpages.charter.net/rcfu/Kit...s/HogBipe.html

I my mind, there is no other option besides the Sig Hog Bipe. Very easy kit to build, easy to set up and a great flyer. Flys good on anything from .60-.90. I have had the most fun with a .91 4-stroke on them.

You can modify the tail surfaces into just about any shape you want, big and round for the 1930s style bipe, or sharp angles for a more modern homebuilt style bipe. I have built one that looks like a stearman, and I added a turtle deck and coke bottle canopy for more of an ultimate style bipe. Some guys add cowls to them too.

In other words, you just can't beat the Sig Pig!!!

I would vote for the Sig Hog Bipe too.

Well, I guess I'll be the voice in the wilderness....take a good look at the Balsa USA Phaeton II. BUSA Phaeton II

It looks like the hog bipe is the kit to build. I read the review I was referred to, and found it to be very helpful in my decision.
Again thank you all for your comments

I had a Hog Bipe kit and a Goldberg Ultimate kit sitting side by side. When I looked at the Hog, I just shrugged my shoulders. Now I have one beautiful Ultimate with a dozen flights on it.

Oh sure, the Hog is a real nice simple Bipe kit, but the Ultimate is fantastic.

I'm not even sure if you can get the kit version of the Ultimate any more.

Tower Hobbies will have them by the end of April. I have seen them advertised by other vendors too.

IMHO The Ultimate is the best-flying aerobatic bipe there is.
