Bridi Big Bee
Have to agree about the Big Bee. It's a great plane. My first power plane was a stock version with a G-38.
Here's my modified version, which I call "B+". I built it in 1991, and it's still flying as my back-up plane. I used a Quadra 42 for power. It's been a while since I weighed it, but I think it's about 13 or 14 pounds with the wheels.
It's probably got about 400 flying hours on it, and about 150 of those were with a pair of SIG quarter-scale floats attached. The floats detracted very little from the performance.
You just can't beat a Bee for fun flying!!
