Nigel R Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Haven't had enough to pick a favourite, sadly. I should do, I like bipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kc Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 This is my Renegade bipe plan No 1512 from RCME should be available from Sarik. However I recommend instead the Acrobits No159. Reason is I flew my Renegade and on the same day a friend let me have a go with his Acrobits - I felt Acrobits was just that little bit better. But the Renegade was a trusty plane for many years. When brand new I exhibited it at Alexandra Palace Model Engineer Show ( the proper RCME / Nexus show ) didnt win any medals of course but it was nice to see see the crowds looking at my model. Both the Renegade and the Acrobits I flew went well on an ordinary 40 two stroke, mine had an Enya 40SS plain bearing.

martin collins 1 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 Ohhh, that looks nice, been on the Sarik website, plan number is now RC1510 any more pictures of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Leighfield Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I know I have shown it before, but the Pat French Team Special is still mine. At the time the DB Bi-Stormer was very popular, a great model, but I felt that this flew better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin collins 1 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 The RAF scheme certainly suits the shape................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff S Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Percy, I think my DB Gypsy (Cirrus) Moth is at least sport scale so not really eligible as non-scale bipe. It does fly really well though as I think we'll agree. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinBrian Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 My favourite is The AEROMASTER, Originally a kit by AAMCO in the '60s. I have built five or six of them, have one at the moment plus a Great Planes "Super Aeromaster" - kit just in case. I also have a Giant Aeromaster which I bought second hand and have yet to fly. I need to find a suitable 40 - 50cc engine first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Martin you are correct it's RC1510. Just this one more photo which is the one on the Sarik website. The advantage of this biplane is that it uses wood for the cabane struts rather than wire - nicer if you are a woodworker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Skilbeck Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Wots Wot is hard to beat, but I'll throw another couple in, Flair Puppeteer (never owned one but have flown others) and a bit left field the Towrag, not too many V tailed biplane towplanes (and it flies really well too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'd go with Flair legionnaire or Precedent Bi Fly, would rather have a Pitts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Quinn-Harvie 1 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I was very fond of my BiFly, I don't have a massive sample size, hovever. it had been built quite heavy and underpowered by the previous owner, so I removed the old and very tired OS 25FP and shoved in a brand new TT42 and it was a royal hoot to fly.

Peter Jenkins Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Hmm, difficult choice between the Amethyst or the Citrin although calling them Sport Bipes might not be fair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
