My second attempt at this little thing. The Bumble Bee II is the world's smallest piloted airplane. It was built by Robert H. Starr. Its first flight was on 8 May 1988. This recreation is rather wobbly in flight and takeoff is rather touchy. Throttle to 50% and pull back on the stick gently. Landing is currently impossible with the initial friction of the wheels causing the plane to eat Tarmac. Have fun and let me know what you think.
