Default Composite-Arf 33% Gee Bee R2 - First Flight - Pics - Videos - L@@K

Thanks Dion, for fantastic coverage. First flight, i was scared to death, but all the guys at Buder park in Stlouis gave me allot of support. Anyway, take off was smooth, she climbed out real fast, needing some trimming in the elevator only, about two clicks up. The 150 DA is brand new, so i only opened her up one time for few seconds, she has allot of power. I also have been flying a gee whiz bee for about 10 months, she kinda Handel's like it in the air, a little quirky. Sensitive rudder!!. Just need some more flights to figure out how to handle her. Probably fast fly buys, low rolls, maybe some low knife edge passes, cu-bans and big loops. Landing. Well, i flew Kermit Weeks Special for about a year and a half, landing was similar, except, i believe the plane will nose over very easily, gonna have to be very careful with the landings above all. Thats all for now, lets here from you all.

Thanks
Bob Wright
