Breezy Hill's "Black Fly-Day" Fun-Fly...The Bee-Tween Flys!
Kim Sat Nov 25, 2023 8:15 am
The Breezy Hill Flyers held their annual "Black Fly-Day Fun-Fly" yesterday, and we had a pretty big turnout, especially considering the cold, windy conditions.
The Flyers closed in the north side of the pavilion, and President Brian brought out his high-powered heater, which made the place pretty habitable. He and Becky also brought us pizza...which was REALLY appreciated!
I've got a bunch of photos and video to be worked through, which will appear here in a bit.
Meanwhile, here's a video of the little two-channel, Babe Bee-powered "Bee-Tween", built by Flyer Billy Lang and gifted to me a couple months ago.
It had been hanging in my shop, waiting for some radio gear, when I decided to fight off my "turkey coma" Thanksgiving evening, and actually got everything ready for the next day.
This is the first (I think) time I've had cameras on a plane for its very first flights, but everything went great...I just had to wait 'till later in the day for the winds to back down. They STILL bounced the Bee-Tween around, but the little plane handled it Now, for a little work on its cranky Babe Bee.
More to follow.

Man it does look cold , you guys got them things hanging low 
At least you had some way to warm up with the jet heater and OH yes the Emergency Pizza !! That's is one big engine on that EX 260 ? Sounds like the little bee needs more running or maybe just didn't like the cold . 
Thanks for the entertainment .

Thanks for the pictures and video Kim. i always enjoy you posts here on C.E.F.. What type of cameras are you using on your air planes? A few pictures on setting them up would be interesting to see. Thanks again...
