The CK Aero Alchemy Bipe is a 2-metre F3A pattern biplane, designed by Bryan Hebert and supplied as a builders kit: a painted composite fuselage with laser-cut wing and stab kits that you build and cover yourself.
It is the Allure Bipe developed further. The vertical fin is larger for better yaw stability and cleaner tracking through the schedule, and the structure is engineered to make weight with a modern electric setup, contra drive and 6000mAh pack included. Flying weight lands under the 5 kg F3A limit, depending on your equipment choices.
What's in the box
- Fully painted composite fuselage and rudder, balsa laminate construction
- Laser-cut built-up wing kit: light ply and balsa parts, leading and trailing edges, wing struts, glass sockets, jig base frame and rolled drawing
- Laser-cut built-up stab kit: light ply and balsa parts, leading and trailing edges, sheeting, glass sockets, stab adjusters, jig base frame and rolled drawing
The wing and stab kits are also sold separately, linked above, if you ever need a replacement.

Building notes
- The wing and stab jigs need a flat building board as their base. Get that right and the rest follows.
- You supply covering film, hinges, control horns, linkages and adhesives.
- Protective covers are not included.
Power and radio
Built for electric power. Standard single drives and contra-rotating drives both fit, and the airframe is designed to carry a 6000mAh pack and still make weight. Not sure which drive suits your build? Send us your setup and we will suggest one.
Airframe kit only. Radio, servos, drive system, ESC, propellers and battery sold separately.
