Status: offline 		Hello all, I have this thing for Gee Bee's and am considering getting one, but i have heard some complaints about the their flight characteristics. I have a kit corsaor that i fly around so i have experience with fast taildraggers with higher wingloads. I was debating about the Kyosho 40 size ARF and the huge great planes Gee BEE ARF with the 68" wingspan. I was looking at the wingloading on both of them and they are very high. I'm guessing that the are more or less really fast, flying bricks. SO, what I am really trying to say is that woth experience in the area, are these two planes difficult to fly and which one is easiest to fly.
Thankx for you imput

Status: offline 		Hi,
Flying the Gee Bee is not the the problem, I have the KMP version which is a little bigger at 71in than the GP model and slightly lighter loaded. The take off and handling are superb, with no tendency to tip stall or bite you.

The big troubles come when you try to land it! The darn things are so short in moment and so tall on the UC, they just want to flip as soon as they touch the ground.

Cheers.
