Bee flights are weeks away for me Richard. I refuse to freeze this year.
Successful flights are assured----I have recently gotten another .020 with props, wrenches and a spare glow head.

where'd you score the goodies from?

I did some swapping...............the stuff looks good. The Bee will work for sure now.

Did anyone fly their Bee yet?

Sure, I've flown mine several times...busted it up on a tree branch, rebuilt it, and flew it some more. The .020 is PLENTY of power for it, I think a .010 would fly it fine. It stunts pretty well, just a little mushy in hard turns. My biggest problem with it is the miniscule tank on the .020, maybe 30-sec. flights. No room for an exterior tank. I'm thinking of building a little bit larger version (King Bee?) with some fuselage space dedicated to a tank.

I'm using 15' lines because that's the limit in the space I have (my back yard). I have hit a tree branch with the QB, a Lilac bush and the garage eave with my ShedDoor. Gotta learn not to wander even a little!

Ray I nearly choked laughing when you ticked off the list of things you've hit in the back yard.

In my minds eye I see little half A size divots in the bushes , trees, and garage.

Quarter A, Frank, quarter A...but divots, oh yeah. That's what my wife asked: "You leave any red paint on the garage?"

And I'm gonna hire a tree trimmer too.

I'd sure like to get some video of you out back Ray............
To coin a new phrase......Some of your antics are "HOMERESQUE".

...but I do have fun...
