RE: vintage kit
don't sweat it. all of the Bees fly-- one way or the other-- including my 80" monster.@ 17 1/2# with weed eater engine, all foam board with yard sticks as wing spars. built it as a carrier for the standard Bee. impressive to see the combo take off separate in the air. once was enough, now a ceiling hanger with the other 30 models. dick stamm
