Hi Jim Glad you liked the Bee. I had the fuselage recovered a few years ago and that smartened it up: she probably looks the best ever at the moment and I propose to keep it that way. I'm afraid I don't have any drawings of the exhaust or tank. The tank was made by Motorsport Revival in York who use...

Hi Paul Good to hear from you. I think we all go through phases with our flying and having two engine problems on and just after take off certainly slowed me down a little.
