I wanted to do a biplane project. I also wanted to use A123 cells.
I have several 6s and 5s A123 2300 mAh packs.
I have an eflite power 160
can someone suggest a biplane airframe that can use this motor and the correctly configured 6s packs.
I wanted to build a bipe to reduce wing loading
want to do mild 3d
thanks

I have nitroplanes 33% Ultimate biplane on two 14 a123's in parallel. Flies awesome.
Previously it was on 10 cells and she flies but don't expect too much power. Two of your 6 cell packs setup in series will fly her decently but she will be tail heavy so your best bet is to use four 6 cell packs as a 12s2p. This way you won't have to add any nose weight and can fly longer.

I'm flying a 50" ARF Tiger Moth on 3S2P M1 cells, with an AXI 2826. Flies very nice.

While not in the same class as a Pitts, or an Ultimate, the Tiggie IS a biplane, and it does very good aerobatics with the 2826 and 3S M1 cells. If you used 4S, it would be even livelier.
But, this is what makes horse races...

Fitting your flight performance spec you could go for a Sorrel Hyperbype search on RC groups or for a more traditional but totaly flexible all rounder with a more traditional look try a Jabbawock of the appropriate size, http://91.84.222.35/ratbyaeroplanes/ratbykits.htm you can get plans and you may find someone selling kits if you search but its ranked as a great aerobatic sport flyer.
