simple ultimate-ish bipe
design: foamiedave tiled plan by gene bond.

this bipe can be built fairly easily by anybody with moderate skill.
it flies well at slow and fast speeds and on high throw settings is extremely manouvrable.
constuction was 6mm epp for fuze 8mm epp for wings and fins,elevators etc.

1/6 scale Neuiport 17 from Balsa USA Kit. Electric (couldn't find a nice and cheap 30 FS). Flys loooovely. My trainer for 1/4 scale petrol powered Bipes. 1/6 scale full body pilot is from Dragon dressed in appropriate gear, also from dragon. ABS cowl in the kit was rubbish, so fitted a slightly modified aluminium one from flair legonaire.

I'm a much better builder of Scale WW1 Biplanes than Pilot.
 
IMHO, WW1 Bipes are the hardest planes to fly scale like. I can throw an Edge or YAK around all day with ease, but flying a Bipe takes more skill, I think.
 
Sadly, I sold this plane to fund other builds. I can't wait to finally, after waiting 3 years, to get my 26cc Petrol 1/4 scale Balsa USA Neiuport 11 built and flown.
