Default RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

Hey Fellas, I just found your thread today and have been reading for a few hours. You guys have some great ideas and it has been most helpful on my build.

I decided to build the 30cc and I also have the 3W 55 CS I installed. I have been making different mods to the kit througout the build but right now I am working on mods for the wheel pants.

I extended the canopy deck black paint another 200mm. Just thought that looked better.

I removed the wire gear struts and covered the entire (inside) of the wheelpant with carbon fiber. I was thinking about bending some 3/16 wire to match the existing strut and brazing them togather. Once completed I was also thinking about some expandable foam inside of the wheel pant tubes to dampen the wire movement.

If you guys have any ideas please feel free to jump in here. My build is located at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10980990/tm.htm

PS Why is there no flight video of any Gee Bee R3 30cc with a 50cc motor anywhere. I would love to see the combination in flight.
