Martyn Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hi Chanced a punt on this Speedy Bee on ebay today & won it for £21. Collected from a very nice chap outside Lincoln this afternoon & quickly returned home with it before evening dinner in peterborough stopped play. I'll strip all covering to inspect the airframe but already I can see areas that require a fix, it looks as though it has'nt flown for a few years. With a little 4 stroke upfront i'm hoping it will be a relaxing lazy summer evening flyer?. Best Mart 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Looks like genuine Trexler wheels which cost about what Martyn paid for the whole model! I had them on my original Lazy Bee way back when. I’m sure it will be great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Well, it did'nt take too long....... Airframe stripped & looks as though its been built well. Some areas req attention, the R/H lower longeron is split along with the underside sheeting & the rudder post / vertical spar has faired the same. Also noted is that a replacement firewall / servo rails / upper R/H fwd fuse sheeting will be needed. Some area's you can see have succumbed to fuel, but all are bone dry now. All the fixing's ( horn's / rod's / various clevis / wheels / tanks ) will be wasted & new stock fitted.
