V-nose? I used to have a flat front trailer. Anything above 40 MPH felt like pulling a parachute. My new trailer has a v-nose and while I still know it is back there, it tends to cut through the air a little better.

5,000 sq.ft. in 4 hrs. @ $.25 sq. ft.= $1,250 = new DA-120 for the new 105" Laser. I love being the boss!

The Beast 60e

I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever had the Beast 60e?



I like the looks and I love Biplanes and I have always wondered what the real world people thought of the airplane, not just the fanboys.
Thanks

Funny coming from someone with Bipenut as a handle. I like the looks of the Beast. I am not a fan of electric planes though. Nothing wrong with them, just not my cup of tea. I also like the Aero-Works Pitts and Checkmate.

NP need to justify, just surrender to the urge to acquire new flying toys.

If you must rationalize, compare your costs to a golfer with a country club membership

Only Bipe I've had was a Tiger Moth with a Saito 1.00 in it. Great lazy day flyer. I sold it to a guy across town in Feb and then one of the members at my club showed up with it in late April. Said he found it on Craigslist. He got it for a hell of price too. I sold it for $375 and he bought it for $250.

Another member has the AW Checkmate with a 55RA in it. Beautiful plane. He said it scared the bejeebers out of him on the maiden flight. As soon as the wheels left the ground it torque rolled inverted. He had enough wits about him to ease in down elevator and get some altitude. The other thing I noticed is that plane lands with a lot of speed. He eats up a bunch of runway on landing.

The only "reviews" I have heard about the 60e Beast were bad.

....and I have a $35 aluminum truck cap on the 8ft bed dually. Throw a cot in there and it doubles as a camper for events. And I'm 35.
