The full scale EAA Biplane was designed in the middle sixties by Paul Poberezny and Stan Dzik in cooperation with the Experimental Aircraft Association. Balsa USA's 1/4 scale model is a faithful rendition of this aircraft. It is fully aerobatic and uses the same semi-symmetrical airfoil used on the full-scale aircraft. With over 1000 sq. in. of wing area and an all-up weight of only 8 pounds, our EAA Bipe is a real pussycat in the air. Simple as well as complex aerobatics are easily done, yet the model will slow down to a walk on landing without any tendency to tip stall. Even though this is a scale model, it is still quite easy and straight forward to build. So if you are looking for an excellent first 1/4 scale Bipe at a really great price, our EAA Bipe is for you.
