Clancy Lazybee

[Bigstik]

Another question for the floor. I picked up a 40" span Lazybee off RCCanada, RET, no ailerons.
The fellow who owned said he was flying it on an Eflite Park 480, but said that it was just adequate power and suggested a .10 motor. Anyone have any experience with the LazyBee?Is the park 480 not enough power?

Alan,

I have not had experience with this plane but a LazyBee is a very draggy design and has a lot of volume.  My guess is a 480 would be good at horizontal flight but would quickly suck when any vertical stuff is contemplated.

If it is the original kit which was designed for IC it would probably be on the overbuilt side and therefore heavy... or you can build a stick and tissue version and go sloping.  Even a Power 450 would power this one!!
