Default RE: Yellow Bee RC plane

I got Stung by the Yellow Bee (

I bought a Yellow Bee from Harbor Freight and so did three of my co-workers. They all did the same thing when launched. Immediately after released it would bank to the left and then crash. ALL FOUR PLANES!!!
Upon further inspection, I noticed that the right plastic motor shroud was molded wrong and pitched the right motor outward instead of straight and symmetrical with the other motor. I did some crash repair by using clear packing tape on all the wings and then attempted to align the right side motor to be symmetrical with the left motor. I had about three successful flights after that and then a crash. It is now in the trash.

It sounded like a good deal at first for the price, but it turned out to be a guaranteed crasher out of the box. Do yourself a favor and buy a cheap foamie for about $20-$30, motor, li-po pack, small servos, receiver and radio and have fun for a long time!
DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

If you are serious about the hobby, got to a local hobby shop & look up a flying field near you and show up on a weekend or when they fly.


Cheers
