Hi,I'm from Italy and I'm fourteen.
Sorry for not being so good in english.
I'm a beginner and i'm building from scratch my second airplane: "New-Bee" designed by
Adrian Page.
Is there anybody that already built this plane?
How does it fly? Is it easy enough to learn flying? (with some help from an expert modeler)
I'm planning to use a Magnum .28 2-stroke: is it too big?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you very much!

The Newbee is a sport plane designed for fun. It is not intended to be a trainer or a park flier, just a fun little aerobatic plane that will fit in your trunk in one piece. It is highly maneuverable without being scary or twitchy and is a wonderful plane for small fields.

Your listed engine is within the recommended range.

You'll need to talk to your future instructor about using this model to learn to fly. I'd prefer a more traditional trainer type plane (SIG LT-25 or Great Planes PT-20 could use the Magnum 28) for learning and then move to the Newbee.

Thanks for the site Carr!! What a neat little plane!! I have never seen one so I can't say anything about the kit or how it fly's, sorry I can't help Ado. I would like to say welcome to RCU and a big thanks for bringing this plane up so we could see it. Looks like a real fun build!!

I have started my first scratch build. its a micro cessna 182 with a 18" wingspan. all from insulating foam scraps i found around my workshop.  had to build three different hotwire foam cutters and get a hold of some sand paper. i had the umx beast and it sadly went to the big airfield in the sky but  I was determined to at least make a new plane to put her gratefully donated parts in lol. im going to upload the pictures of the progress i had and maybe it will spark some ideas. Oh and BTW im new to this site and haven't been able to figure out how to start a thread or a forum so any input there will be greatly appreciated.

G'day

If I could speak Italian as well as you speak English, I would not be worried at all. Well done and all the best with this highly addictive hobby.

The closest I can get to Italian is the Latin I learned at school some 40 years ago. It has been surprisingly helpful over the years with English.

Cheers
