No....I sold all my plans also. I will give you a hint.....the Yard Bee wing is the top wing and the Baby Bee wing is the bottom. Scratch build the rest.

Instead of wingerons has anybody thought of using tailerons? The span of the tail is long enough that they should be very effective.

All you need is rudder.....just make the wings normal. There is more than enough dihedral in the wing tips. Trust me. Been there done that with this model. It is a novelty with the wingerons....I found they are just a pain.

The Stagger Bee is really tail heavy. This is why you see so many with large motors in the front. As much as I love Clancy designs....that plane made me almost loose my religion!!!! LOL! Good luck!

Hey
Irecently bought a lazy bee long wing maiden today I hope. I was wondering how much nose weight the Stagger Bee was needing. If I scratch one I would extend the nose some.

The problem is that the rear of the fuselage is all sheeted, some of it doubled up. The elevator and rudder, all solid. I would try to do a stick fuse from the rear of wings-back to the tail feathers with top formers and make the tail feathers in a stick method also.

I will say this about the Stagger Bee.... my model was beautiful....I was so excited....I had the wingerons. The plans says to have a nose down attitude which I found impossible with electric hardware as the brushless motors and lipos weigh so much left than the old school stuff. It flew so tail heavy and the wingerons were sensitive. I rolled and crashed......destroyed my lipos..messed up the wingerons badly...rebuilt it again. Still again it tail heavy. Same thing as before and ended up rebuilding and repairing for the 2nd time. Last try was with an AXI 2820!!!! That was the only thing I had for weight in the nose. Large lipos on the wing inside the fuselage. It flew way too fast....I did not enjoy it at all. I ended up giving it away....minus all the elctronics. Sad story....but that little plane really worked my nerves. I also was too impatient and should have just slowed things down a bit and thought about it more. If so....I would probably still have it.

I want to make a new one one day....but larger. One day...........
