Hello Grasshopper
Welcome to the forum.
Your plan to build a bee is wonderful. There are a lot of them flying or being built. You will get lots of responses from the forum.
I have heard many good comments on the Bee.
Its nice and dosile little machine.
I remember Rifle Co. My car broke down on my way from La. Ca. to Aspin Co.
Good Luck.

Grasshopper: The 'Bee was the first Internet gyro! As a result, an unusually large amount of info about them is right here on the 'Net. Watch the Gyrobee thread on this Forum, read all of Ralph's site, get in touch with Starbee Gyros. You're in good company.

I think that the "bee" is the modern day bensen, it is simple and can be built at home with out alot of complicated machining. There seems to bee alot of them hatching!

You're in good company here, Stewart.
You can enjoy the time and learn a bunch, by just *lurking* a while.
Cheers

Stewart,
I just don't think there is a better choice than a Gyrobee for a beginner's 1st gyro. Simple, relatively inexpensive, very forgiving in the air and on the ground, easy to transition into and not enough power to get you in trouble.
What do you weigh?
Call anytime in the evenings. home 941 795-4668
