Re: Illusion Bipe
Man, forget Biff!!! Should send it to me!! I've been wanting one of those for YEARS now!!! I saw it when they first come out. Talked heavily with Frank about it! Just never got one......
I'd slap a 3W 80 single in it, and go to town!!!! Man, may be a tad much...... NAAAA!!!!! Chris~ PS- I'll even pay for the shipping to me, also!!!!!!

Re: Illusion Bipe
I really like bipes...
I think that's the same wingspan as the my CG 30% Ulti in my avitar. I ran mine with a Precision Eagle 4.2, but mine was heavy, 23 lbs. At 12lb. airframe, it'll be around 19 lbs. AUW, nice candidate for a 80cc anything, hmmm...seems like I have a ZDZ 80 here and a bunch of 5945's. Did I mention that I really like bipes??? |

Re: Illusion Bipe
Guys,
Thanks for all the compliments on the plane.  I am planning on putting in a 3W 75 because I already have a Muffler for it. That is if I don't sell it, The muffler that is. Bruce

Re: Illusion Bipe
The 3W 75 will be plenty of power for that plane Bruce! Actually a perfect match and should give you nice vertical on a 24X10 or 26X8 prop!
Are you really sure you want to keep that old plane? The glue joints may be aged and brittle and be dangerous to fly! Send it to me for some R&D work and I'll even pay for the shipping! Just trying to help a Brother out!!

Re: Illusion Bipe
Hey Bruce, put the 80 on it, the muffler will fit, although it will be too loud for our field! Going with a can on the 80 in the Yak, or I would take that "muffler" off your hands. Get it ready so we can test it and the Pitts at the same time!! Bipes rule! (Till the motor quits anyway)

Re: Illusion Bipe
Got a Manual for the Bipe this week. Thank You Derf54. So it looks like the ZDZ Super 80 is going to be the motor of choice. That way I can use it in my H9 Sukhoi. Thanks to all who helped.Bruce
