The Yard Bee |
|
||||||||
|
Andy Clancy has developed a new 29"
span, 270 sq in quick-build Bee for busy, or first-time builders. We call
it the Yard Bee, because it flies like our Lazy Bee, but it is the right
size for backyard & schoolyard flying. |
| The Yard Bee builds fast enough even for you
ARF guys to complete!! Fly it fast or slow - set it up mild and forgiving;
or wild and snappy. All standard propulsion types will work with this
plane! The Yard Bee is light enough for indoor electric motors and strong
enough for Speed 400 or .020 Astro Flight motors. It weighs only 14 oz
with a Speed 400 using eight 500 mAh cells. The Yard Bee also works well
with glow engines from .010 up to .10 in size. With a Cox .049, the Yard
Bee weighs just 9 oz. CO2 power is also an option! We used and recommend
the GM 300 CO2 engine. For those who are teaching themselves to fly, we suggest flying this plane as a glider. As a glider, she is so light in weight that she will survive many crashes. The kit is very complete. All wood is high quality, all
parts are pre-cut so you don't even need a knife to build it!! We include
most of the hardware and clear Mylar iron-on covering (it's so
user-friendly!). Plywood wheels are included in the kit. |
