I have always wanted to build and fly one of these, They look so fun. I have also heard a lot of good about them. I bought the 40" .15 sized ARF. I also have a Fox BB 15 for it. [To me that seems a little hot for this plane]. I have a FliteStreak with a Fox 15 on it and it really hauls. Ive been told some fly it with the dependable Norvell .074. I just lost one to a wing snap. So Im checking my options. Any Ideas or experience? I want to keep it fun. I had a bad experiance with a Lazy Tiger P51 putting a large engine on it,[I should have worked my way up to a 40 with it] Anyways thanks for any responses.

Keester,

I had the Bee with a OS 15 on the nose and it was almost too much motor for it. I found myself flying it at 1/3-1/2 throttle most of the time. If you have a 15, by all means strap it on. If you have to go buy one, a motor like the Norvel would also be fine.

BTW, I had the 3 channel Bee.

I have a lazy Bee with a 25fx, it will go straight up as far as you can see. Just don't run full throttle unless going vertical. It is a blast to fly!

hey, anybody have plans for a Clancy Baby Bee?????
