About this Plan

Sea Bee. Free flight scale model for rubber power. Scale is 1/25.

Note this looks like a static model to be honest, but here on Oz we have to list it as something, so rubber it is.

Update 17/4/2025: Added catalogue page, thanks to Pit.

Supplementary file notes

Catalog page.
Printwood.

    ScaleType: This (oz15966) is a scale plan. Where possible we link scale plans to Wikipedia, using a text string called ScaleType.

    If we got this right, you now have a couple of direct links (above) to 1. see the Wikipedia page, and 2. search Oz for more plans of this type. If we didn't, then see below.

    Notes:
    ScaleType is formed from the last part of the Wikipedia page address, which here is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_RC-3_Seabee
    Wikipedia page addresses may well change over time.
    For more obscure types, there currently will be no Wiki page found. We tag these cases as ScaleType = NotFound. These will change over time.
    Corrections? Use the correction form to tell us the new/better ScaleType link we should be using. Thanks.

User comments

I've always been interested in building a model of this aircraft. How could the original designer have known that 70-plus years later there would be micro and mini electric RC park flyers! If one was to double the size of this plan to 36 inches, It, might make a great park flyer! I think I mentioned on the Hobbyzone "AeroScout Only" Facebook page that if one removed the landing gear, added a "hull' conversion piece to the bottom of the fuselage and wingtip floats one would have a faux Sea Bee. Park Flyer Plastics used to make a seaplane conversion similar to what I'm suggesting for the very popular Multiplex TwinStar many years ago. It will take some work, but I'm adding this to my build list to do the above doubling the size and RC conversion of this display/FF kit, assuming I live long enough!

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
