Speedy Bee - Laser-cut Rib Set

Speedy Bee is a radio-controlled fun sports model. This plan was published in RCM and later kitted by Clancy Aviation.

This model is highly regarded as nimble yet gentle and just quirky enough to turn heads and cause spontaneous grins from onlookers and can be built for IC or electric power. Its dashing looks are inspired by racing planes of the 1920s and 1930s.
