I have a Saito .72 and was looking for a good .40 sized bi-plane to stick it in. I know about Dave Patrick's Ultimate Bipe, any other good suggestions?

I agree with Sig Smith Miniplane -- nice fun flyer

Sorry, I guess I should have clarified, I am looking for an ARF .40 sized bipe. Thanks for your responses though.

Allan

kyosho pitts?be nice with that motor.

Yeah I looked at that, it definately is a choice I would consider.

Thanks,
Any others?

i guess it's not old bipes you're looking at then?

No, Old bipes would be good as well. I don't need a 3d machine. I was just looking for a good bipe. WWI era is fine as well.

how about a ripmax se5a?they fly beautifully on a 40 four stroke or a 30 two stroke,they are also extremely well built.

Well I have a 72 4-stroke, so I would probably need a slightly larger plane.

The Saito 72 is to much for the DP Ultimate.

Dymond RC is offering a 40 size (50" or 54" span) Tiger Moth ARF for $149. (rc-dymond.com)

Kyosho also makes a Tiger Moth.

For an oversized engine, I would think a Pitts or Staggerwing would be a better bet.
