Correction: engine wasn't Continental C-85 (it would be enormous for that airplane!). It was a Kiekhaefer O-45-35 flat twin with 30 hp. Its weight was only 35 lbs! The information about the propeller is also wrong.
@@InformationAboutFlyingObjects You are so insulting and sanctimonious in your response to RobertoMOLA when you refer to the information he gave as his " opinion ". He is in fact completely CORRECT . The C85 is a 4 cylinder and has a DRY weight of 180 pounds . Even a CHILD can see the Wee Bee has a tiny 2 cylinder engine and not the big 4 cylinder that YOU claim it has. Its little wonder that with an attitude like yours , that your channel is so few subscribers and views. . Please look up the definition of " The Dunning Kruger effect " for some self reflection.
Shrouded in mystery? You're a moron. Not even close.
@@RobertoRMOLA Also, there are two types of Wee Bee, a Wee Bee that has three wheels and a Wee Bee that has two front wheels and in this video I provide information about the Wee Bee aircraft that has 2 wheels.
There have been smaller manned winged aeroplanes than the Wee Bee. For example, the Cri-Cri and the Bumble Bee 2 come to mind.
Thanks for telling this story. I first became aware of this plane decades ago with a single photo and not much info in a magazine. Only after watching this did I find out the WeeBee had flaps and foot operated rudder like most other aircraft.
@@bunion8579Thanks for Feedback it's always rewarding to know that my videos are informative abd helpful!
Great content, i really enjoyed learning about the wee bee . I didn't know that it existed and found this inspireing !!! Thank you sincerely, i have subscribed and I'm looking forward to seeing future content.. GOD BLESS from me Way Down Under in New Zealand 👍 P.S it's very sad to learn the wee bee was destroyed in a fire , it's a great loss .. I'd love to have one 🤗 totally cool little plane . I'd love to see more tiny aircraft like the SKY BABY ...
@@Rob1970s Thank you so much for your kind words and blessings! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, i appreciate your support and encouragement. It means a lot to me.
I really enjoyed your video. Until now all I really knew of this aircraft was a couple of pictures. Thank you.
Very slick
It is one of the most dangerous designs ever made. For the most part, the ground effect was responsible for it being able to fly.
@@tamis50 Good!
Subtitles needed badly.
@@stratcat3216 OK Buddy!
Is that a real person's voice and accent? It's practically indecipherable
@@lvdovicvs Dear Respected Sir This is my real Voice!
@@InformationAboutFlyingObjects If that is the case then understand I don't mean this to be offensive; I had so much difficulty understanding what was being said that I didn't finish watching it. I don't think the video or information is bad, but the narration is a big problem.
@@lvdovicvs Thanks for your feedback sir! In future videos I will add English subtitles so people can understand it!
It doesn't look fun to fly... at all.
Gross weight of 550 pounds and max total take-off weight of 600 pounds - not only the plane but also the pilot must have been tiny and light-weight. Or you take off with empty tanks... ;-)
Not to mention that the engine he CLAIMS ( incorrectly )to be on the Wee Bee ( the C85 ) has a fuel consumption rate of 5.4 us gallons per hour and an oil consumption rate of . 4 us quarts per hour , one needs to ask ... where the hell did this guy get his information ????
