Hi guys!
Thought I would start a topic on this amazing pormetheus Bipe the good and the bad so lets dig in.
THE GOOD:
The box was received in great condition as usual and nice packing boxes.
The plane was relatively simple to put together 2 hours and it was done.
I love the way they did the wing struts. It has a pin system to simply pull out. 2 screws to remove will let the top wing come off and 2 more for the bottom wing awesome.
Nice big sturdy wheels and nice size wheel pants coming off grass not an issue here.
nice paint scheme!
Lots of room inside to put MRRCSound card and 4 TT-25's in and a smoke system in the near future.
screwed down tail fits nice.
great power!
THE BAD:
Their really is not much bad with this plane to mention except this.
They have no bulk head behind the battery tray. This is an issue for me because I use my 6's lipos in my jets and they want you to use a strip of velcro on it. Doing this causes the battery to be just thick enough not to close the cover. The strap provide will not hold the battery down on its own allowing the battery to slide backwards all the way back to the rear of the cockpit tail heavy! So to fix this I used a piece of packing foam the plane was packed in used a block to fit against the sides and only about a 1" thick and glued that to the battery wooden tray. Doing this stopped my battery from moving all together. Simple enough fix for me. If you are only using your lipo for this plane then use the velcro and you will be good to go.
My DX9 control dual rate throws that I used for all surfaces
LOW rates: 50%
MEDIUM: 72%
HIGH: 100%
expo: 30-50%
FLIGHT:
I used an admiral 40006's 60c lipo and I take off from blacktop 2300 feet. The first flight did not goes so well. It came off the canopy flew off at 50 feet then the battery slid all the way back to the rear of the canopy bay. That put this plane into high alpha way tail heavy. But saying that I was able to do 2 circles and land with out issues WOW! Second flight put in a piece of foam behind the bat and that did the trick. Plane tracked well on the ground used less then 5 yards and was airborne. This plane flies like its on rails low rates very smooth high rates and its ripping up the skies. Knife edge it just holds their like it was up right hover not to bad I only last in hover maybe 30 seconds or so. Landing this plane expect normal pitts style landings in other words POWER,POWER 1/4 throttle and when the wheels start to roll then kill the motor.
CONCLUSION:
This is a great B-ipe to fly can be very agile yet you can fly slow and scale. If you are looking for a plane that can do crazy 3D here it is. If you are like me and just want to BUZZ the tower and do basic stunts your good to go. This is not a beginner or intermediate plane in anyway EXPERT required. But if anyone is on the sideline of buy it or not I say get this one a real joy to fly!

Hope this may spark up some interest!
