[NSRCA-discussion] Amethyst EP Bipe

I was just looking at the Oxai web site and the US distributor's site and
noticed that the US lists very few of the designs for sale. Any idea why?

Oxai has never provided a choice of stab. There is one Pinnacle that was
built and heavily modified for me.  It had a negative tail on it. But it
also had many other mods too. It was my Electric Pinnacle and it was a one
of a kind. I wished it was not an electric model. I would likely be flying
it still today. It was a really good model, but I didn't like it was
Electric.

All 2007 and later Beryl's had the negative stab. Yes it was possible to buy
the later stab and retrofit it to the older Beryl (straight stab models) but
it was never an option.

All the Astral XXc models had the negative stab. You are thinking of a
different model. Quality wise, construction material wise and also weight
wise it was and is NOT an Oxai model, not even in the same ball park.. Not
to mention it wasn't even the same plane. Different wing, stab and the fuse
was also slightly different too. 

I'm pretty close to the Importer of the Oxai planes into the USA and we keep
up pretty close on what is available and new with the models.

The Oxai Bipes are very impressive. I have a pair of them and really like
the way they fly.

Ya, I figured You'd know about it...  I just hadn't seen anything on the
list about it yet.
I'm already looking for my next project, and would like to see some feedback
on a few 
different planes before I decide the direction I'd like to go.  I'm
wondering if the buyer
has a choice on the stab....  like on the Beryll and Astral?
I really like the way they go together.  Really simple.
Thanks Troy.  I was just trying to stir the pot a little and see what pops
up!

Rex,

what would like to know?

Bare airframe is 2400g Electric only and it will be close on the weight
limit. The prototype models all made weight. With various power combos. From
the Hacker c50 to the Oxai motor. Similar plug together snap together wing
attachment to that of my Adventure and Euphoria Bipes. Both from Oxai. Two
bolts are the only fasteners needing tools to attach the wings and "I"
struts No flying wires used or needed.

Wings all glassed and painted. Like all Oxai models.

Adjustable plug in stab

Access hatch for the batts when its all put together.

What else would you like to know?

Troy
