Lazy Bee engine choice
Hey fellas, I'm in the process of finishing my Lazy Bee and am having a dilema on power plant choice. I have a OS 10 just freshly broken in and sittin' around. I also have an OS 15 with a few seasons on it sittin in a 1/12 scale mustang that isn't currently flying. I'm just wondering if that 10 is gonna have the power I want for those crazy-stupid aerobatics that make me giggle with the Bee, or if I should can. the 15. any ideas? just wondering....

Lazy Bee engine choice
My Bee with a 45" wing has been flown with an OS 10FP for 4 seasons now. It loops and rolls, but it could definitely use a bit more power as it doesn't have much vertical. Even so, I'm still grinning ear after each flight. I covered my fuse with silkspan and dope, while the wing is covered in Micafilm and the horizontal stab is covered with Monokote. I also used a fullsize servo for rudder after stripping two submicros.
I've recently purchased a OS 20 FS, pre-Surpass that I plan on installing in it. Hopefully it will have more power/torque for vertical performance. Btw, there's a pic of mine in my gallery.

lazy bee
i have a lazy bee w/ a os 15 la. everyone seems to think this is a strong engine for a 15 la [bushing motor]. it pulls it into the air pretty fast. it doesn`t have unlimited vertical but close. if i try different props it might get better. it`s all i need !
