What is the problem. I don't see one. Why not build all three if you are having a hard time deciding?

All kidding aside, I have not flown neither of them, but have heard they are all good fliers. I, myself, am a creature of habit and if I had one I liked before, I would build another.

They all fly well but the Bee-tween has a lot of "cute" going for it. I still have the pull-out plan from the magazine. "Someday"

At the speed you build Rodrigo, you could knock off all three in a week!

You could build up the top up front make it appear to be more of a mid wing.

My first plane was A BeeTween that my dad and I scaled up 1/8th and put an OS .10 on it. It was a really nice flying airplane. Definitely more personality than a Q-Tee, the S-Tee is pretty sporty but the airfoil on the BeeTween is better for sport aerobatics if memory serves me.

You can order them right off of Model Airplane News website. They were a pull out plan in one of their issues, really nicely done. I managed to build a successful model as my very first RC plane out of those plans. I almost made it thru the first flight. It figure "9"'d into the ground after the 3rd or 4th lap around the field when I froze on the elevator.

I built an S-Tee right after Airtronics introduced it. Had a Black Widow in the nose and full size Cirrus radio gear. Even with the added weight of the 500mah ni-cads and huge servos/receiver it flew great. That thing had a very fast roll rate for a R/E bird.

I too have that pull out plan, Model Airplane News I believe. I was thinking about it just a few days when I came across the plan while looking for something else. I think it be a perfect model for one of my Cox .049's.

I was putting away one of my airplanes today after doing some minor repair to it and I noticed my Q-Tee sitting there. My dad built it many years ago and I don't remember him ever flying it. Anyway when he went into the nursing home I acquired it and converted it to BL. I started thinking, I should put one of my Cox engines on it. Now just to decide which one. It'll probably be a Black Widow that I have since that would be the easiest although I have a throttled Medallion 051. It's the type with the exhaust throttle with the link to the carb. I've never run it, I picked it up on ebay a year ago.

I kinda like the idea of no throttle since my first attempts at RC (notice I said attempts!) before I wised up and joined a club, were with .049 stuff with no throttle. I'll probably go with the Black Widow.
