Default RE: Seagull Gee Bee Z

Hey, motor12, sorry to hear you have to sell your Z. It is truely a unique model. If a guy was to leave the wing in 2 pieces, the whole package would be pretty small. Just have to figure a way to attach the bellypan at the field, screws, maybe? The Z is a attention getter at the field, no doubt. I have added quite a bit of scale detail, and the 30cc gas motor is completely hidden inside the cowl for a smooth look, save for the spark plug cap and exhaust pipe. The thing that amazes most people is, they think, Oooh, look at that little devil, bet the guy won't even get it off the ground! Then the Z speeds down the runway, lifts off pretty as you please, and grooves around the pylons.......Landings can get a little exciting at times if you don't pay attention to airspeed and altitude, but what the heck, gotta giv'em a little thrill for they money!
