I am really glad I did not instal that motor! Wouldn't have been enough.

Sweet plane. I totally dig it.

I love big planes and especially new designs, the Weeks bipe is cool Im already subscribed as for Bills new secret project I would like to ask him what's the weight and if it will climb out of hover with a 150, I am assuming it's kinda aerobatic. I know that will give more hints but the AMA show is around the corner.

This plane will take some time to get used to. I flew it a few weeks ago and had a blast. One cool thing I can do with this plane is the climbing spin froma very low leavel. Or, I can flat spin down then as I get lower add more power and stop the decent rate then climb, all while in a flat turn spin! Really neat!!!!


Problem right now is that I am doing flight testing on a new "secret" plane and the Solution had to be put away for a while. I hope to get more flight testing and practice with the Solution after the AMA trade show.

Let's see this on video?

I've got some info for you guys.
Well, Airtrade and Weimo is a kind of a "joined" company. Know-how is from Weimo, the rest is from Airtrade.
They have now moved into fully composite planes. They are working on new planes. They are improving the technology. They will be soon moving to a new bigger place- 1000m2 (nearly 11000 square feet). This is taking lots of time. They should start the production in autumn, but you can be sure, that they are going to work hard to get you the best planes out there for the 2009 season!!
