Question about Geebee R1 cowl

Schu
I spoke to someone recently who flies a 1/4 scale Gee Bee R1 with a G62. He says it has flown successfully several times, but is a dog to land. I think his plane weighs 22 lbs.

gee bee

gpman:

That's a beautiful looking Gee Bee.

Have you flown it yet? What scale is it? What's the weight, and engine size?

More details would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Any air tool oil or just Marvel's stuff as after run oil?

I've been using Mobil One as after run oil for years, and it has worked great. Being a synthetic oil, it won't damage O-rings and rubber diaphrams found in some engines such as YS makes.

I've...

Securing access panels

Thanks for all the replies, folks.

I ended up using the magnet approach, using two miniature magnets from Radio Shack. Worked like a charm.

Since I don't want any "handles" on the exterior of...

Byron R-2

I'm thinking about powering mine with a Zenoah G26, which I estimate will have about 15 to 18 lbs of thrust. I'm making the assumption that this much thrust will pull an 18 lb airplane fairly well....

1/4 Fokker DV111

lazyace:

I built the wing upside down and made it flat on top. That seemed like the best way to do it. The underside of the wing tapers upward to the tips, and that's how it gets dihedral. Be...

Hostetler 25% Gee Bee R-2

What is the expected weight of your Gee Bee?

1/4 Fokker DV111

There was some mention of a D VIII with 98" wingspan. The 1/4 scale wingspan is 84".

Use real skiis

For something that big, use real skiis. Go to a yard sale, buy up a cheap pair of old skiis, and cut them to length. I saw this done on a 14 ft wingspan Telemaster, and they worked great.
