Paul, I was wondering if you were considering a full dimensional Bi-plane sometime in the future. I have no idea if its doable but I would definitly like to see one based on the current "The Bipe" or possibly an 'Ultimate Bipe" or even a "Turbine Toucan" which would really be awesome. Even a profile Ultimate or Toucan would be great. I for one really like bipes but have no idea how much interest is out there for the rest of the Airfoilz fans. Maybe a poll would help.

Theres a few other 3d foam bipes in the 35 to 40 inch wingspan size out there but don't think any of them fly nearly as good as an Airfoilz plane so I won't waste my money on them.

The hell with all you guys that are missing a wing :D. The full dimensional Ultimate Bipe is in the works for 2008.If Mickey or Jordan say it flies good I'l be first in line for one.

Have you tried the Airfoilz Bipe?

Heres a link to mine. http://www.airfoilz.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/70/limit/recent

At first I hated it but I had the cg way too aft and I called it the "Psychotic Bipe". I was all over the place with it. Now that i have the cg right I love it!

I love that Bipe!! Great job on the covering! I too had my CG WAY TO AFT...very difficult to fly...only took 2 flights and have it dialed in PERFECT!! It is such a graceful plane! I would love to see "The Bipe" in the Full Fuse design!

Thanks Bighead. The Ultimate would be great for high G maneuvers, although "The Bipe" is pretty much indestructable at high speeds also. I did manage to snap the horizontal stab on my first Yak but I reinforced it with a piece of carbon fiber per Pauls instructions. Really adds a lot of strength and very light.

I really like Biplanes, I think when the beta comes out and people see the videos of it more will take interest in it.

I can't break my Bipe in the air and I have tried!!;) WOT Snap's...knife edge loops...thought for sure that would have ripped off the tail! Like I hear from most people flying the Bipe...it really does grow on you...Solid performer...it will be difficult to design a better flying Bipe IMO:D
