The Yellow Bee
by Shun Da (SDM) -Available
at Harbor Freight at $29.00 on sale. Easy to fly if you remember that it
is sensitive. Wingspan: 31.5 in
(800.1mm) Length: 19.69 in (812.8mm) Weight: 14.8 oz (208.65g)
The Yellow Bee
is a twin push prop that steers by varying motor speed on each motor (thrust
vectoring) to "push the plane to its new direction. It climbs easily
and can be controlled easy with a light hand.
The Yellow
Bee's 2 channel controller has two basic features climb and direction.
The left stick increases overall thrust causing the Bee to climb, the right
stick adds more speed to whichever prop is needed to thrust the Bee to its
new direction
Wings can be
purchased for around $6.00 and wing and tail packages run around $10.00.
The fuselage is fairly durable as is the the landing gear. I've flown
this many times, cracked it up a few times, but never had to replace more
than the wing.
TI
have really enjoyed flying this little guy. I haven't measured the
time that it stays up, but I almost always fly it until it runs out of
juice. Overall, it's a great parkflyer that can perform decently as well as
teach the sensitivity of control to the newbie. (That's me!)
I'll be looking
to add some videos to this site and the Yellow Bee will be one of the first
