Andy's sporty mid-wing
Bee is now available
as an ARF: the Speedy
Bee Almost Ready-to-
Fly. This design was
originally reviewed in the
June 1998 RCM. Since
then, Clancy Aviation has
made several upgrades, making
this one of Andy's favorite ARFs
so far! We've added an access
door to the bottom of the fuselage
to make battery installation easier if flying it as an electric. It still
features the rubber band retained wing and now has the engine mounted
to the fuselage. We also eliminated the aileron bellcrank linkage and now use
separate aileron servos for each aileron, allowing pilots with computer radios and
mixing to be able to experiment with aileron/flap mixes. The construction itself is all laser-cut
and built on special jigs for precision. This provides superior alignment and performance. And we ONLY use REAL iron-on
covering material.
The Speedy Bee ARF is a 4-channel, mid-wing, wood-airframe design that resembles a golden age racer. The wing span is 52"
with a huge chord like the Lazy Bee. The Speedy Bee ARF wing is flat across the top, but gets some dihedral benefit from the
bottom surface taper. The ailerons are very large (often referred to as "barn door" ailerons) for better control at slow speeds, yet
the Speedy Bee ARF is our most aerobatic Bee: side slips, inverted flight, knife-edges and spins are possible. It's fast, fun, and
unique. It's the Speedy Bee ARF!
