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?.

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.
