MI Bipe
« 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.

I wouldn't take her to a dog fight even if she had a chance to win.

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]
