Wayne: thanks for the help.  My biplane is based on the shockflyer
concept Ultimate that I have modified moments, wing sweep and outlines.
I have made some changes since Wayne flew it to help in making it
smoother and also not as "twitchy" like someone mentioned earlier and
believe it is one o the best performing 3D planes on the market.  Our
website is being updated next week to include all of my profile foamies
(warbirds, twins and the Ultimate Shock).

I am running a PJS 1000 on it and have WAY too much power but fly it
typically with an AXI 2212-26 but am waiting on a 2212-20 to try.  The
plane is 30 inches long and has a 29.5 inch wingspan and weighs in at 18
ounces with a Falcon Predator 1550 mah battery for ~20 minute flights at
full 3d hover, snap etc.

www.aerojetmodelaircraft.com  is our website.

Thanks Wayne!!! 

Check out Falcon Batteries for your LIPO foamy needs.. great local club
member and an outstanding product. (ps I am a dealer)

I had the opportunity to fly an electric bipe at the Hot Springs
Championships that is being produced by a small hobby shop in Houston.
Forgot the shop name but Chuck Hochalter is responsible for designing
and
test flying these critters.

Now a 3D pilot I am not, but this thing was so easy to fly that most of
the
guys watching thought Chuck was flying it.  It hovered and torque rolled
with ease and does nice Harriers and rolling circles.  Something I would
NEVER try with one of my pattern planes and some of my small IC planes.
He
was running an outrigger/outrunner? brushless on it and it was nearly
silent.   Neat setup and a blast to fly.

Hopefully Chuck will chime in here and give us a little more info on the
product.
