Hi everyone,
Many members seem to have caught the 5th Anniversary Sweepstakes fever.
Seniors as well as newcomers.
Occasionally when i post some videos of the Bipe, i get requests for details.

Starting this thread in the hope that it may be of some help to young members looking for an inexpensive, easy to build model that is safe and easy to fly.

You may have seen this 5sec clip.

Motor mounting. Couldn't be simpler.

Model doesn't weigh much. But flown regularly in wind exceeding 10-15km. Indore is windy!

You can even fly it in the rain!

Even rcpilotacro enjoyed flying the INDORE BIPE outdoors in the wind!

Happy Landings.

Hi everyone,
This Mr Ashok Baijal has come out of hiding.
He started aeromodelling in 1982, after seeing me, his neighbour.
(Before that he was an amateur radio HAM operator)
Now retired and has all the time in the world. So watch out for him.
Please welcome Mr Baijal to RC India.

Wonder if kudos kill off a thread.
No response from any of those who were asking for a simple model to start with.
