Model Airplane News, Dec 2004

CLANCY AVIATION

Andy Clancy's classic designs have won the hearts of modelers everywhere, and now we can look forward to the re-release of his updated and improved kits! The first available is the timeless Lazy Bee, now with laser-cut parts and four building options for the ultimate in versatility. Whether you build it with or without ailerons or with the classic 40-inch wingspan or a longer one, this small-field plane offers exceptional low-speed performance. It has oversize control surfaces and typically has a wing loading of around ounces per square foot. The Lazy Bee loops and rolls easily at speeds at which most planes fall out of the sky! It's also well suited to a variety of power options: a .049 to .20 2-stroke, a .20 to .30 diesel 4-stroke or a geared Speed 400 to a high-output 05 electric motor! With all laser-cut parts, assembly is easy and precise, and the Lazy Bee comes with an updated instruction manual that contains Andy's latest tips and tricks. The icing on the cake? A $60 price tag!
