Title: MI Bipe
Post by: Perry Rose on February 15, 2013, 06:16:20 AM

 I'm thinking of building a MI Bipe. I have the plans and was wondering if anyone has built and flown one. Mechanix Illustrated published them.

It's vintage. The post mark is May 1947. That tells me the design is at least from  '46 or older. The engine shown is a Bantam sparker, but an Ohlsson 19-23 or Forster 29 for stunt. Top wing is 24 inches bottom 20 inches and I figure 160 sq.in.[/img][/img]
