It looks like I wasted a lot of time trying to get that Bee to fly electric. I tried out the 25 LA on her today and It was beautiful! I flew for a maybe ten or twelve minutes before landing and I had a half of a tank left and it was not even totally full when I took off.

It is really smooth in the air. I still have the low rates set very concervative for now. I did a few loops wich were nice. That .25 LA is a nice running engine....power to spare. It started raining and I had to bring her in. One of the coolest things that I like about it is the slow fly-bys. When approaching for landings.....I like the looks of the swept up wings as it is heading towards me......looks like a clown plane and then when I hit the gas it turns into the evil clown snarling and cursing and demanding respect!

One thing I will try soon is a roll. I understand that if you set the throw for the rudder with 3/4" travel that it will roll. I have to see that! Maybe if I hit the elevator and as the nose raises.......hit the rudder hard? I think that should work.....have not tried it yet but this weekend will be full of experiments with my little Bee.

All in all I hd no problems converting it to gas and it flies nice and slow at quarter throttle, I have only had it to half throttle so far. Throttle mangement is the key.
