Hello Craig,

old thread, but evergreen model....just love the R1/R2s.[img][/img]

Great improvement, that was inspiring me and essential for all ''wheel-shoe'' -planes.

I did the same with my Hobby King Gee Bee R2, i`ve used the Seagull Gee Bee Z struts and divided the pants at the lower section.

Here´s a video on youtube:

If you read this, do you still have a Gee Bee R2?

Best wishes,
Wolfgang

Very nice job! I like the position of the joint on your wheel pants better than what I did, because you don't need any sheathing to cover a 28mm gap as mine did. Have you flown it yet with this setup? I still have my R2, but haven't been flying for a number of years.
