2024 Speedy Bee

It's the same classic mid-wing sport Bee, just updated and lovingly LASER CUT by Andy from the highest quality wood.
This 40" wing, four-channel sport plane is still very much a Bee. You know: Oversized control surfaces, hands-off stability, very low minimum flying speed, easy aerobatics. The Speedy Bee is just a Bee that's a little speedier. It can handle having more power than a Lazy Bee. It's also a speedier building job. To order, click the store link at the top of the page.

Lazy Bee Gliders are HERE

Lazy Bees just  love to soar and glide. People are often surprised by this, but in fact,  Lazy Bees have a very low sink rate and good glide ratio. Converting a Lazy Bee into a glider is a natural next step.    All Lazy Bees inherently glide well. Our new Lazy Bee Glider, with its streamlined nose, glides even better. It's very well-suited for slope-soaring but can also be used for thermal gliding.  The kit is a Lazy Bee kit plus all the extra parts and plans and instructions so that it can be made into a Lazy Bee Glider. It still has Original Lazy Bee wing options. I recommend building the 40" wing for slope soaring/windy conditions, and the 48" wing for thermal gliding/calm conditions.  Click on the Store link at the top of the page to order your Lazy bee Glider Kit.

New 2024 Yard Bee Kit

Hey everyone: The Yard Bee is BACK! In case you are new to our Bees, the Yard Bee was one of our most successful designs as Clancy Aviation. It has all the flying characteristics of a Lazy Bee (highly maneuverable, slow flying) and then some! Flyable in very small places, even more durable, and an easy build. There are no sticks or uncut sheet balsa in this kit, It's all laser cut interlocking parts so it goes together fast! Of course every wood part is laser cut by me, Andy Clancy. It's (frankly) an even better quality kit than it was originally. It can be powered by gas engines from as little as .010 up to .10 size or the equivalent in electric power. It has a 29" span--270 sq inches of wing area-- and weighs from 6 to 12 oz. Just like its big brother the Lazy Bee, the secret to the Yard Bee's success is a very low wing loading, and oversized control surfaces. It's a uniquely fun and easygoing plane to fly. You can get yours NOW.

2024 Speedy Bee Kit  

Meet the 2024 Speedy Bee! It's the same mid-wing sport Bee, just updated and lovingly LASER CUT by Andy from the highest quality wood. Every part possible is laser cut, and you will find that the parts fit together perfectly. The wood is evenly matched on both sides and has been selected for the job it will do in the plane.

This 40" wing, four channel sport plane is still very much a Bee. You know: Oversized control surfaces, hands-off stability, very low minimum flying speed, easy aerobatics. The Speedy Bee is just a Bee that's a little speedier. It can handle having more power than a Lazy Bee. It's also a speedier building job.

Like the Lazy Bee, it can be built for gas or electric power. Its dashing looks are inspired by racing planes of the 1920's and 30's.
