Scarinzi Queen Build
Jeremy Chinn:
Finally got the little Queen Bee out for a flight today. And fly she did.
Before I get into the bird, a fun note. My buddy Lester helped me launch. He was a friend of Larry Scarinzi and was excited when he heard this was one of his designs.
Performance is excellent. Run time is great on the little 1/4oz tank with the TD.020. Line tension with 10lbs 25ft Spectra lines is perfect for a calm day.
She's a real stinker to get fueled, but after a few mins futzing with a clogged needle, we had her starting nicely.
Flying, she loops inside and out beautifully and does a horizontal 8 very nicely. Inverted flight was no issue at all. Lands about like a set of car keys when the engine quits.
I flew two flights today as the sun was going down and then it was time to roll up the lines. My son shot a quick vid of the last flight. He caught a flat 8 right as the engine went sour and I flew the rest of the flight with the saggy engine.
I'm super happy with the little bird.
