Default profile / funfly ultimate biplane??

Hi guys,
I am officially "hooked" on profiles and pbf's and anything else fun-fly. But I also have a thing for biplanes. Have any of you built / flown a profile Ultimate Bipe? Is there a place I can get plans to scratch build one? Any help would be appreciated.

Sig has the Ultimate Fun Fly. It's a 43 inch profile Ultimate. It comes in at about 5 to 5.5 pounds and has about 800 squares in the wing. I'm on my second one, and both were good. My first one had a Rossi 53, and the one I now have has a Saito 72.

One my second one, I put the tail servos under the stab, and I like it that way better.

The good:
Snaps, tumples, torques, hovers (OK), slow flight, and spins.

The bad:
Knife edge anything.

The ugly:
Flies like a birck deadstick. It just falls down, so aim for a soft spot.

I had never seen that one. It looks to be quite a bit lighter than the Sig. Probably more work, however.

The Sig Ultimate is one of those "Shake up the box" kits. I guess I could have put that in the good comments. It builds really fast.

This is the same guy, same flying field, as the tape I was telling you about. If I get some time I'll check out the Edge and Extra videos..they might be the same ones.
