Imagine, for a second, the most simple, shamelessly rehashed plane you can think of. The Bee is that. Considting of, in this case, about a dozen parts that can be assembled in under a minute (best time so far is 46 seconds) it flies remarkably well... if you ignore that it has basically no range and tries to go vertical on takeoff for about 100m. "Action groups" imply the plane has enough parts to necessitate an action group for anything.
