Default Illusion Bipe
Has ANYONE ever heard of a bipe named ILLUSION ? Kit was made by Eagle one Aviation. This particular plane was supposed to be built by Frank Knoll. I was just wondering if any of you knew of the MFG or heard of the plane. WS 70inLength 71in W/O spinnerWeight 10LBS Bare airframe onlyBruce

Yup, remember the design well! Frank also had the One design. Great flying biplane. Haven't seen one in a while. Where'd you get it? Nice!

Looks like somebody took the best from the Ultimate and the Pitts Super Stinker. Was this a real airplane, or a modeling adaptation?

I too would be interested in documentation, etc. That would make a great kit-bash out of a CG Ultimate.

Hey Bruce...that is a sweet flying Bipe! Frank Noll did a great job designing it. I'm jelous...you can't get them and probably won't see any more like it around! Frank used to torque roll the snot out of that plane! What engine are you putting in it?

That is a Pretty Plane.

Man.... and you got it for a deal?
ERRRRRR.. You are not my friend!


Just kidding... with a 70 inch WS, what is that like a 33%?? Ie. 100cc motor? or a 80cc?

Either way... nice purchase!
