Here from Chicago

[Tailwind]

Hi All...Here from the Southwest Subs of Chicago...flew mostly IMAC, but got away from it about 4 years ago to finish building a fullscale biplane with my dad and brother. Still have a 40% BBW Carden Extra gathering dust that I need to get out and fly. Sleepy and the Admins....thanks for setting this place up..hopefully it will have the old vibe!!!

welcome to the site!



is that your bipe in your avatar? hard to tell, Skybolt? EAA bipe? looks like a straight top wing



had a really cherry Pitts S1-SS project that I sold about four years ago....still kicking myself!



How far outside of Chicago do you have to go to find flying sites? my wife's trying to get me to consider moving out there. i've got a buddy in Naperville so she's looking around there.

Hi Bartman,

The Bipe is an Acrosport 2..My father built it with help from me and my brother. As for flying sites in the Chicagoland area, there are plenty around..If you were in the Naperville area there are a couple of close feilds that you can fly giant scale at. I am a member at Joliet R/C down by Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet, if you end up out this way let me know and we can do some flying.
