Bridi Big Bee
Hi Jerry; I plan on using a Poulan 46cc conversion on mine to begin with.
Ive been playing around with mufflers and headers on some gas motors for some friends (look in my gallery) and it really got me into wanting something big/gas powered again. I had seen some reports from you and a few others on the Big Bee and it looked like just what I needed. I had a T-170 some years ago and it had a 90" one piece wing that was more of a storage problem than anything else so I thought I would try the 2 piece wing.
Jerry; On the tail surfaces of your Big Bee did you round off the leading edges and taper the trailing edges?? Ive seen planes done both ways. Ive built some smaller planes that recommend the surfaces be left square. Ive heard good reasons for both but it always seemed like a personal preference thing.
Im never one to invite more sanding but Ive always prefered the rounded look.
