Default RE: Randolph Bee-Tween

I have built one and am building my second for my wife.. It IS a very inexpensive plane to build. I have used lots of scraps from my other Scrath built project that is on the table (a .20 size "New Era" from RCM Plans). I did monocote hinges. Covered the Elevator and horizontal stab together with the elevator fully deflected.. did the same on the opposite side.. Has lasted way longer than I expected. I will not be building in the cockpit area this time. It just adds to the build time and makes a place for oil to collect.

I'm debating adding strip ailerons and making the vertical stab/rudder all one piece (aka No rudder control). I may put less diehdral in this one too.. It's almost too stable!!!
