Default Speedy Bee #2 is DONE!

When I wrote my last note, I was very down. But now I am feeling better and just about finished with a Stinger 60 ARF. Things are looking much brighter now!

I went ahead and ordered a Lazy Bee ARF. The floats I was going to put on the Speedy Bee, I will use them on the Lazy Bee. I have not built the floats yet, the box is still unopened. Can't decide on electric or glow power. I think I am leaning toward the electric. Hobby People suggest a super cobalt direct drive. I disagree. I am thinking about a reversed rotation monster truck motor and a Master Airscrew 5 to 1 gear box and a 10X7.5 prop so I can used all of the sub C packs I have laying around. What do you think?

I am very interested in the New Bee by Adrian Page. Looks like a winner. Much easier to build than the Speedy Bee. I do not want to spend any more time than I have to building. They say it is an awesome design and it is great in the air. One guy says it does not roll as fast as the Speedy Bee. I will not know for sure until it is in the air. I may buy it soon. Just feel like I am pissing a lot of money away trying to get some closier on two downed planes. I hate analyzing myself! Somebody has to I guess.

At this time, the only thing I have that is air worthy is my Electrajet and my profile Mustang from Hobby Lobby. At least I can fly something!
