I know what you mean-I have a few favorite designers: Randy Randolph, Al Clark, Roy Clough etc. (Randy being the favorite) and you know right away when you see a plan in a magazine that it belongs to one of them. In my case with the BeeTween being my first airplane, the basic box fueslage airplane with a little Cox cylinder poking out the front is what a Sporting Leisure airplane is supposed to be. We all push extremes in the hobbies, pursuits and interests we try in life and invariably invest enough that that interest is no longer enjoyable or "leisurely". These three designers are an antidote to that in the model airplane hobby-they design simple, low cost, FUN, accessible airplanes that anyone can build and fly. Low emotional debt along with high fun factor in a package that fits in a car seat.

Question for other BeeTween pilots: Low wing rudder only planes typically don't handle wind well, how does the BeeTween do? My first and only flight was on a calm day and was too short to remember any bad characteristics-but I probably wouldn't have known them if I experienced any.
