My Queen Bee kits got here today---

[frank carlisle]

I haven't opened the package yet. I somehow got inspired to clean my house today. Thoroughly. My dog "Baby" is mostly responsible for the mess. He doesn't wipe his feet when he comes in. I wipe him down with a towel but that just isn't enough.
So I'll just make note here that my Queen Bee kits arrived today. The box is small and it fit nicely into the mailbox. Later I'll open it up and post pix of the parts.
Ray mkes a really sweet kit so it will be a treat to build the smallest control line model in the world.

Oh! I'm in trouble now My wife had to stay home from work today because the storm closed the schools. Now she will get the mail before me
I'll just have to say it was a gift from Frank

I feel your pain Leroy. I'm sure your wife won't miss the fact that it's another airplane. I mean look at the way Ray sent it.
Maybe we should start asking the folks we get our stuff from to send it in plain brown packages.

Don't be ashamed, Frank...be proud.  If ya got it, flaunt it.  Tell the world you play with toy airplanes. Your mailman knows now anyhow. 

Glad to see it arrived safely.

My mailman leaves ME a tip at Christmas. He says no matter how big the box is it's always lite.

[bob branch]

That's the difference between RC & CL, not the size so much as the weight of the box!

I got mine also Frank. I'm glad you talked me into buying it. Ray did a great job it even comes with wheels. All I can say is cooooool .  So who's going to be the first one done. We should start a build thread.

[frank carlisle]

Ray does a great job on these kits Mike!!
Have you red his instructions? They're great too.
Sure let's do aa build thread.  First let's wait for the other guys to get posted here.

[Leroy Heikes]

Mine arrived yesterday also! Like I said My wife was home, but I sneak it into the house and drooled over it in secret. Making sure I didn't drool on the wood. I took Lisa out and got her a pedicure and dinner so I do not have to hide it anymore. I even had to get a pedicure too. What we go through so we can play with our little airplanes.

Mine got here today in record time. Thanks Ray! Maybe you should contract ship the CL World mag for Brodak!

[frank carlisle]

Since I got two of them here is what I'm going to do.............................

I'm going to build the first one as per instructions. #2 I am going to offset the engine like the Bi-Slob.

[minnesotamodeler]

Hi Frank,

You may not have looked too closely at the thing...it has quite a bit of offset as is.  I can't imagine the Slob has more! Open it up and take a look at the plan sheet, MM top view in the center of the page.  I didn't measure it, just followd the plan, but it must be 10 d. or more.  Maybe it's a "baby Bi-Slob" already!

OK I just took time to measure it...something between 12 and 12.5 d.  Does the Bi-Slob use more than that??

P.S. I like your idea of a building thread.

[Mike Spiess]

I'm going to clean off my bench tonight and get started. I'll have to dig out my .020 hope it runs. This is going to be FUN.

[Jim Thomerson]

Got mine today.  Thanks, Ray!

[Richard Grogan]

Hi, guys
I got mine today (Monday).  I guess the snow storm slowed up the post office (No more of that "...through rain and snow and sleet and hail...)  We had them all.

I have only had a chance to glance through it but it looks purdy!!!

regards,
bill marvel

[frank carlisle]

It took the mailman long enough to get your bee to you Bill. That's for sure.
Mike,Richard, Leroy and me all got ours last week. Oh well at least you got it.

Richard and I  started building ours today and Mike is starting up tomorrow. I think Leroy has a start on his roo.
We have a building thread going in the Building Techniques page. Come join us.

[Gordon Tarbell]

I got mine monday Dec. 4 . This ought to be fun!
