Default 48 in Lazy Bee

I am going to try a diesel in this. Never had one before so what should I use.

Single ball race PAW .15 should do it well. An .09 would probably pull it round too but you may not get the power for aerobatics.

Stormovic,

The PAW .19 weighs the same as a .15 and is more powerful ! My PAW .15 TBR turns a MAS 9x4 at 12,000 RPM. And a .19 is better; Get it and love it. Go to my earlier post @ http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...tm.htm#1074031


Oily In Germantown

I see that this is a closed system for fuel storage and use. The ether will not evaporate off with this, correct ? Who has the fuel tubing for this ?

How big does the engine have to be before the Bee is no longer considered Lazy?

The yellow tubing is tygon and the black is Dubro Neoprene. I do not know what is on the hand crank pump, just make sure that it is for gas/diesel. With the cap properly secured with teflon tape (plumbing supply) on the threads, (smear some castor oil on the new teflon tape before putting the cap on), you will not lose ether. Please read the text of my post and save yourself a lot of bother that I had to learn on my own. However I must give credit to Norm Rosenstock who published a similar design for quart cans and using gravity feed. I modified his idea for gallon cans and a hand crank pump.

I agree with Francis!

I have a .19BR in my Lazy Bee and I love quiet power I get from a 10x3 or 10x4 prop. It's so simple once you get the hang of it. They do seem to take a while to breakin though. The LazyBee would be perfect place to start with a diesel. I was told that a PAW.15 was Andy Clancy's fave engine for the Bee.
