I have a DA-50 that needs a new home. I've been "biplane curious". (Insert your own joke here.)

What are some recommendations for a 50cc biplane? I've seen the WildHare Ultimate, but a Pitts style looks nice with the round cowl.

pitts are fun but,, the ultimate is by far the best

Ultimate all the way check this kit out it was originally Ohio R/C designed by Bob Ankne the redesigned it and sold it as Procraft he retired and sold the rights to Precision Cut Kits so they are now laser cut and build real fast and light if your up to building http://www.precisioncutkits.com/201.htm HERE IS A PIC OF THERE 1/3 SCALE ULTIMATE PLANS

Hello.
Try this page http://www.emhw.de/

Look for the small Ultimate.
This kits are ultralight.

Have fun.

The Ultimate flies more precisely from my experiece. I have a GP Christen Eagle 2 and it's a lot of fun, just don't expect to do 3D with it. The GP Ultimate 160 is also a very nice model. I had one with a DA-50 and it flew really well.

Hello. I'm new to giant scale, and am looking for a big biplane. I really like the Pitts line, either the Special, the Python, or the M-12. Can anyone recommend a Pitts, 50cc or bigger? I know many of you guys are recommending the Ultimate, but I'm just partial to the shape and style of the Pitts. I'm lousy at 3-D, so I would be happy just doing scale/precision aerobatics. Does anyone have experience with the Cox Wings Pitts M-12 ARF, or the Aerotech Pitts Python? Thanks.

Go for the Great Planes Ulti !
I've been lovin mine for a year and a half now !!!

Some video.....

Couple pics.....

Ultimate hands down. There is just no other bipe that flies quite like it.

i really hope GP updates there trim scheme soon, then id get one.. i flew a 40 size ulti once was a blast, but i do like the pitts challenger that Kondor Model Products puts out, sharp plane!

I'm waiting for someone to post a flight report on the new Aeroworks Pitts Python 50CC. Looks very nice.

Wildhare has a very nice Ultimate. I am working hard to get mine finished right now. It will be initially powered by a DL-50. I am going to see if I can get away with analog servos (JR ST126MG) on the surfaces and use a digital (JR 8711) on the rudder.
I hope to madien by the end of the month.

Ultimate all the way, have had both the Ultimate flies like a dream compared to a Pitts.

yea.

how about the PAU challeger,, its kind of a blend of both, this will be my first choice once i try to go gasser next year.
