is the late model cox golden bee any good?it is hard to find out about cox products here in u.k.,how well do they throttle with the throttle ring and what fuel and prop should i be using?

Tim Wiltse-RCU

The Golden Bee is a Babe Bee with a 8cc tank anodized golden/yellow. Stock it should have a single bypass cylinder. They are not meant to be power houses.

it's a later one which apparently came with twin bypass cylinder and throttle ring as standard.

It'll be a nice sport engine in the right model. Like Tim said it's not a powerhouse but if it truly has the twin bypass (not exhaust) ports then it's the same as a Black Widow but without the colour and it'll be as good as a Black Widow for performance. If so you'll be happy with it. If it does have a single bypass then it'll still be fine for a slower and lighter model.

Mine flys just fine on a 'Q Tee' at 16 oz.
I am using an old Ace pulse radio with magnetic actuator. Forget the throttle as flights are quite short.
