    Lazy Bee"s have a certain charm to them . Good improvements to the design .

    Love how well it flys at the weight you have. Speedy bees lacked some of the Lazy bee charm because of the heavier wing loading. Nice job!

    Built an electric Baby Bee once upon a time. Your right, came out way tail heavy. Never could get enough lead in the nose of it. Squirreliest airplane I never really did succeed at flying.

      David: Agree, any time I make one of the smaller RC models, never really know how it will handle. Some fly great, others not so much. Tim

    I have noted that your right wing tip always dips on take off. (?). And your landing are not smooth glides in, but hard bounce type. Nice work and I'm learning a lot from your channel.

    I really enjoy your videos! I have this kit that I bought back in 90’s in my stash. Looks like I’ll give it a try, I haven’t built any kits in a long time. Thanks Tim for the inspiration to get back into flying again

    Great to see all vids watch 1 a week to make to get the idea to
    Finally make a biplane 30inch
    Bottom wing dihedral. Top 1 inch dihedral on 3s with 2212 1000kv
    10x4.5 slow prop it is so very fun
    Even the crashes Thanks to you
    I am alot more informed. Even about where to stand on maidens

    Great job Tim. I noticed the shock control, on landing. The rubber bands, as shock absorbers, seem to be the way to go.

    I've just bought a s/h set of unused plans for a Speedy Bee as well as the instruction book and I intend to scratch build it. I found this video very interesting but I think I may do some things slightly differently.
    1: I like the rudder/fin mod. I built a Lazy Bee from a kit many years ago and didn't much like the all moving rudder.
    2: I'll certainly extend the nose to get the motor as far forward as possible. Probably use a 6mm firewall, too - the extra weight will help :)
    3: I'll have a battery hatch in the front rather than the bottom. Servo access will be from the top after the wing is removed.
    4: I usually put paper tubes in the wing for aileron servo wires to pass through.
    4. I'm considering reducing the dihedral. I seem to remember a comment when Speedys were first available that the ailerons weren't very effective because they had the same dihedral as the rudder/elevator Lazy Bees. I want this to be aerobatic. I have a scratch-built Liddle Stik with a flat wing and that flies really well.
    5: The Lazy Bee has laminated balsa wing tips, and rudder and elevator outlines. I may do that to keep tail weight down.
    6: Depron or foam-board wing ribs might be worth considering.
    Power train will be brushless and (probably) 2200 mAH 3S LiPo (because I have a load :) ) propped to consume around 300 watts. I'm aiming for an all-up weight of

      BF: Looks like you have your Lazy Bee configuration nailed!! All looks good, and I agree with less need for dihedral, especially with the raised wing tips. Tim

    Looks like it could make a nice U-Control model.

    Hey Tim,
    You have built many stick built models. Do you use any type of accurate cutter to cut balsa sticks?

    • @TimMcKay56
      @TimMcKay56  2 года назад

      Loren: I usually purchase my balsa sticks precut. I will eyeball 1/16” stringers cut by eye form 1/16” sheet. Tim

    Always wondered what was the flying difference betwixt a Lazy and 'speedy'. Seem similar; Twitchy, basically overcontrolled flight.

    • @TimMcKay56
      @TimMcKay56  9 месяцев назад

      Yes, need to minimize control throws. Tim

    Tim, what charger to do use -Anuj

      @TimMcKay56  2 года назад

      PS: I use a charger from ThunderPower RC (where I get my batteries). I think Spektrum has very good chargers these days. Tim

    How do you think a full-size airplane would perform that was built with the relative dimensions of the Speedy Bee RC airplane?

      Has been awhile. Believe I purchased from Clancy’s website. Tim

    This is great! I’m a huge Clancy aviation fan and am putting together a speedy bee arf currently. Does your motor and prop size give it enough power?

    • @TimMcKay56
      @TimMcKay56  2 года назад

      Jon: Yup, I am using a three cell lipo, tons of power for this flyer as the wing area is so large. Good luck with yours! Tim
