When it comes to:
a large gee bee r1/r2 (read: want it to look good and stay looking good)
lots of fiberglass
discontinued = no parts
known bad landing habits
terrible in crosswinds
I don't mind trying a little stabilization.
I love flying my planes, not crashing them. I'm not in it to prove I can fly something someone can't....I'm in it to fly the airplanes I love and keep flying them.
This should help with landings (it doesn't need stabilization for anything else)...and should eliminate PIO, but I'm going to try to not even let that happen and really land this thing correctly.
In the end, this system will auto correct for anything unforseen WAY before I could...and if that saves this beautful model...then I'm cool with it.
Don't worry, I'd never think of putting something like this on one of my 3D planes (87" Extra SHP (12S), 89" Slick (12S)) or my Top Flite Sea Fury (8S).

I think this Gee Bee is perfect for the new EagleTree Guardian I have on order:

You will be the talk of the field
That is some nice technology. I on the other hand would just rather fly it with my own personal abilities. The only reason I say that is because it help me become a better pilot and has allowed me to fly planes that the normal persons would not think about flying in certain conditions. Based on your profile...7 years of operating experience you should be able to fly the Gee Bee just fine. I purchased and flew the Gee Bee with only about 2 years of flight time.
