I hear it comes with a mid-west accent.
Clean hands! LMAO!
I believe it's a revised Bixler with detachable stabilizers - or maybe it's the TwinStar clone I asked them for
Bixler 2 - 2 motors?Just getting the hype up!

Whatever it is.. its just another Multiplex copy added to their ever growing lineup

Whichever it is, I want it, it's probably 40% of the price and 80% of the quality as the original.

Funny you say that, but looking at HK's new stuff side by side with Multiplex's range, HK's looks new and fresh, while Multiplex looks tired and old. Last time I went to a hobby shop (doesn't happen often) I took my oldest son (7). I was looking for a glider. He was cross with me for even looking at the Easyglider, stating it was boring and ugly. I think HK have moved on from Multiplex clones (hence the Merlin... oops, I mean Kinetic is no longer being made or sold). The Bixler is a much more modern take on the Easystar (manufactured by Jpower, sold for years as a skysurfer btw, not a Bixler) and is better in many ways. Many of the new models coming out have been built from the ground up, and I'd recommend going and having a look at the website... You obviously haven't been there in a while.

The I-Bixler only $899.95 with 4G access.
:applause: what laugh
. . man I want an iBixler for sure . . and yes the 4G versionI bet it looks something like the Quad Cat that has had several threads started about it.
I can't wait to see Josh's smiling face as he hovers above, motors/prop sets coming out of each hand and feet! I DO NOT want to see the battery compartment though! Thurmond

Please don't break the motor shaft!!! Sorry. Family forum...
Well. That only took 12 posts to get an image that will haunt me for weeks to come.
I am hoping that the version deux will get some upgrades that most of us were
doing to make this an exceptional plane.
Shorten the distance between servos and the rudder/elevator, better horns and clevis's,
solid cf wing support and a better way to attach the wing.
Here's hoping. Although I really enjoyed doing the mods!!!

Actually, that would be a really great thing for Hobbyking to do! Great suggestion.

Good thinking 99. Merge the two together and you could have a flying BixScott (sound tastly)!

The Bixler 2 has landed! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=24474&aff=516279
I like it! Bigger wingspan, better wing locking mechanism (hopefully velcro not required), molded flaps and a lower kv motor with more room to swing a prop. Looks great! Shame the original ply canopy doesn't look like it'll fit, and it also looks like big batteries will be harder to squeeze through that gap. They also don't mention if they've made the spar solid or at least significantly stronger... I need to make some room in the hanger!!!
