Default RE: CG for Speedy Bee

Hello; I like the Speedy Bee too! mine had a Surpass 26 in it, I suppose I flew about a gallon of fuel through it before I stepped on it and crushed it to a million pieces. I was running up the engine standing with the horizontal stab behind my ankles, I stepped over it to let it go and my hiking boots grabbed teh antenna wire. Thinking quickly, I stepped down right on teh pilot and killed him too. It was a sad day.

I should build another one, I had so much fun with that plane. I covered it with Tyvek, and until I stepped on it, it was tough as nails. I actually did a vertical figure 8 around teh telephone wires alongside our flying field. . . deliberatly.
