After a bit of airbrush work and the addition of some very nice scale accessories, my Gee Bee is proudly perched on our club runway, looking like a bird of prey

Thanks for tips Richard regarding the prop and fuel tank. I'm running 80oz and have an adequate prop for the maiden. I still need to set the full throttle rudder mix and will pay close attention to the ele setting for the take off I will also dial the ele control down at your recommendation to 3/4" as opposed to the manuals 1". Any way thanks again for the info and it's going to be a great help for the maiden Getting closer

I am a little curious about the manual stating 75 to 80 mm for the CG.... Does anyone know what is wrong with that?
