I would love to see one of those GeeBee’s flying before I do my maiden so I can see what I can expect, I’ve never seen one flying, not even on an airshow. Don’t understand why CARF never bring it to a show....
Well, there is no shortage of videos of the CARF Gee Bee flying by pilots of all experience levels.. but IF you are looking specifically for a video of the "new and improved" Gee Bee R2 flying, well, that I don't know.
I can tell you not to expect a huge difference in handling between the old and the new. It boils down to the pilot and proper set up of the plane.
A gyro would be a good addition.
