Yellow Bee Runway Camera

Another video of my Yellow Bee, which has been flown to Hell and back. An aluminum rod, about 3 feet of medical tape, and thermal glue hold it together after numerous life-threatening crashes. This short features numerous take-offs and landings, some not so successful. I highly recommend checking out this $30 2 channel RC plane at Harbor Freight.

Duration : 0:4:20

now i'm not so affraid annymore to crash it
thnx a lot and greetz

Cover the wings in …
Cover the wings in packing tape. It will take a bit of time, but definitely is worth it.

For control, I find it better to turn with only the right stick (left stick down). You dip the wings into the turn, then punch the throttle (left) to turn faster, then level out.

hi

great video.. i think i'm gonna get one soon! =)

Very good advice. …
Very good advice. I completely covered about 2/3 of the wing with packing tape of my second Yellow Bee (the first one has some balance issues now), including under the motor housings. I taped up the wing separately, then cut out holes in the tape where the motors go. I've crashed the plane pretty bad and it hasn't gotten destroyed yet. I fly without the landing gear unless I have access to a place to land (like dirt or asphalt). Normally, I just catch the plane when I'm done flying.

Had mine up for …
Had mine up for about 12 straight minutes this evening. Best tips I've heard: 1)BEFORE beginning, remove the motor housings and run packing tape over and under the wing, so it is reinforced right in front of each motor. Replace the housings. 2)Remove the landing gear so the plane won't tumble upon landing. 3) Always take off into the wind, even if there is only a slight breeze. 4) Back off the throttle after takeoff.
Awesome landings and takeoffs in video!

i have a bee loctite super glue works very well to fix most damage on the wings and most of the plain as well try it

As far as flying is …
As far as flying is concerned, make sure the engines are working properly and that the plane flies straight under no power. Give it a gentle toss before flying; it should glide straight pretty well. If not, adjust the elevon tabs on the V-tail. To turn, I usually release the throttle (up/down stick) and just tap the left/right stick. Hold it down for tight turns, but you run the risk of wing-overing into the ground.

vega2614 @ 12:00 am

Well, in terms of …
Well, in terms of fixing the wings, definitely try packing-taping them together again, and if that doesn't make the wings pretty rigid again, try using 5-min epoxy (take tape off first then put back on after epoxy is hard for reinforcement; epoxy is sold at most stores for like $2).
