Bill Little:
I want to get a Queen Bee and I have a 1/2A Snapper to build.

This probably doesn't belong here, but no one will see it in the Classifieds!!!!  **)

Anyone want to part with a running Babe Bee and a Pee Wee .020??  (I've NEVER had an .020!)  ???  ???

Cosmetics are a "non-issue".  y1

Thanks,
Bill <><

Bill, I set up the Snapper firewall for a long-tank Cox (Black Widow, Golden Bee, etc.)--to use a Babe Bee you will have to use a 1/4" thick block under the engine, or else trim off the fuselage sides and top 1/4", or else move the firewall forward 1/4". 

I was just downstairs measuring, and actually there's about 1/8" clearance behind the prop as is; so you might get by with a 1/8" spacer and a little sandpaper.

Not a major problem; just FYI.

Hey Ray---we could almost call the 1/2A forum the Minnesota Modeler page!! Not too shabby.

Just goes to show you I'm a glutton for punishment...not many modelers specializing in the little stuff, they're smarter than that.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for that information!  I have a few of the big tank Cox engines, so I will go with one!  I have only flown one .049 in the past 40 years!  **)

I am REALLY looking more forward to this one each day.  ;D
