Mike,
That guy lives too close to ignore you! I think you ought to be a Baptist and just go on over to his place for a little "Tuesday night visitation!" At least you'll get to see this bird!
I still have some pretty exciting news about a bipe........ Call the number in the PM you got a while back. You won't believe this one!

I am sponsered by blazingwings.com and I just got my biplane in. Its the Big Pitts! They are really nice! I made my own color scheme. If you would like any details or want to buy anything call VisionHobbies or try out VisionHobbies.com. We can get you anything you need and also do the color scheme modification on the bigger planes. They sure are a really good company! Let me know what you think.

I would more than love to see QQ put out one of his "large" Pythons but even though there is some interest, I would have to believe from a business stand point that the investment it would take to get these online for all of us to buy would not be very cost effective as I don't think there would be a large enough market for them. Just the standard 40% size ARFs - YAK, EXTRAS, ULTIS, etc are probably alot smaller market for sales than the 35% on down range. (For instance, I would be almost certain that the Hangar 9 35% Extra 260 has probably already outsold their 42% Ulti)
I would have to think, though, that QQ didn't debut his new Ti-12 for just self gatification. I am sure he will have something up his sleeve so they rest of us can enjoy it at some point as well.

A 40% Python would be awesome though! I am right with you!

Tom

to Quote QQ.. the Ti-12 in the 40% size is just that, something for him to have fun with and enjoy.

Possibility for just what was mentioned earlier, the 35% and 30% markets are sooo much larger and profitable.

It is awesome tho, I had the chance to go over it at the Clover Creek Contest and it was absolutely stunning.

Sweet plane Lyoha!
Is the building yours - or a club building? There sure is a lot of neat RC aircraft in the background of the pictures.

I own a 86 yak from QQ and I love it. Those of you in the "QQ Nation" know what I'm talking about. I am dedicating all of my plane penny's twards the 100+ inch bipe that QQ WILL be coming out with in the spring. Trust me...after my friend named Guido gets done twisting his arm..he'll build it. Oh, sorry...were we not up to using violence yet? My bad. I'll go back to begging. Please QQ for the love of all things holy! Will you please come out with the 100+ in. bipe already. This money is burning a hole in my pocket.
