I will go through your emails you sen me on the information on the Pawne and get working on it. I hope Pete Goldsmith is wrong about his statement about the market size.

Because you are much more familiar with this airplane/airframe, is there anything in particular that needs special attention?

How about an Aviat Husky. With just a few changes to the Cub . ya got One!

Vern

What motor are you installing?
If you are using cans do you know what the drop for the headers are?

Have you weighed it yet?

I'm looking at using a DA120 with cans so just trying to figure out the drop as I do not have my bipe yet but trying to do some pre-planning so I can get in the air as shortly as I can after I receive it.

What about servos, what are using?

Can you take some shots of the tail feathers and how the stabs are connected please?

got one on the table and getting it together asap Id realy like mine up and flying before Bill.... Robert Hough Losantville looking for a 100 DA or 3W as we build

Mine is in at 14 lbs and 7 oz Ive got a 3w 80 and have not decided If I want to go with a 100.......this thing is LIGHT got a Big sundancer Sig with a DA 50 and it hover at 3/4 I think a 75 or 80 will do just fine..... I aint no Bill Hemple as far as 3D but I like this aircraft........Call it the Volumptious Vixen. The Sundancer has been modified and weight 26 lbs...... I just wonder if motor box will last long with a single ? In comparison the Big Sig has a 84" wing and the Hyper Bipe has a 87" in the 100cc class lot of great extra too cf wing tube and tail wheel set. open out door removable green house......7 8411 will set me back a bit but so,,,,,,,,,,,,,what

ps the Hyper Bipe has flying wires on tail none for wings ther is room for 2 side by side 32 oz du bro tanks ie smoke and fuel Bill says keep everthing in front fly and adjust cg to your flying habits mine will stay a tad nose heavy 60 yr old school pilot............when the Hot dawg 's come to my private airfield before they get up to Muncie AMA 15 miles north ... I will adjust the cg for a select few I trust...... Frank....Andrew.....Mike......Jeff ....ect and let them wring her out heck they wont have a dime in it.!

Go with the hundred. Remember extra drag from two wings and flying wires in the tail. Well I guess if you keep it under 24lbs an 80-85 would be ok but anything over or around that I would go hundred to get that little extra.

15 miles south of Muncie? I am in Brownsburg west of Indy. Keep us informed on the completion and flight characteristics.

Real shoot out will be happening not only airplanes but a weapons shoot for prizes and trophys at my place Losantville Indiana around 4th July getting details together should have this Hyper Bipe ready by next weekend Jeff Robinson of Hagerstown, Indiana will get the cherry. Tony Hinshaw also from Losantville Indian , will be running the shooting match gosh is nice to have farm to play on

Hey you Pro Bros coming out this yr? Have not heard from you guys OMP from Ohio usualy shows up who is your contest director anyway? you guys are a great buntch of pilots and always welcome to the field fish the pond if you like or 3d dip your tail in it mabe Victor will get busy.............

If your talking to me I am not a pro bro, but it sounds like fun. I am the old Dawghouse though..

Owild1,

How did you figure out which stab is which? Identical color scheme top and bottom!

Is yours actually together, solid or just puzzled togerther for photos?
Did you find the hardpoints for the control surfaces?

Whay S/N did you get? I have s/n 003.

No manuals so where is CG going to be?

I am putting a DA100L on standard mufflers. If she comers in at 18# or under she will be rcket ship as I have flown a 33# Aerotech Yak on this motor an it had ued vertical!

Well after much consideration Ive decided on 75CC single money and time and loss of my beloved airfield which is now in beans. The farmer wigged out over the lawsuit brought forth at AMA over a lady hit by a sailplane...............so he drilled it in beans and told me the day after...... now I have the expense of buying a new location and developing a new airfield Bummer! Any way had to reengineer the motor box for a single..... and took a while to figure out the stabs and Cabanes had to measure the incidence on the wings 3 times ......so I set them at O on bottom and 1degree positive on top wing and still guessing at CG went with 4" Kavans for wheels and 2 24oz DuBros for tanks Thinking about A123 in tandem and no smart box simple straight foward and D.D high voltage servos.

You guys are doing great! My plans to have my Hiperbipe flying ASAP has taken a back step to just general life stuff getting in the way. Anyway, hopefully I can get a good step back into completing mine starting this wekend. Keep us posted on your progress and hopfully i will also have some pictures to share at the end of the wekend. Happy Fathers day on Sunday!
