Honestly, I would not even fly my own gee bee right now I have only flown about 10 times in the last three years and the Gee Bee you saw in my video is now hung on my ceiling as display. The last time I flew my Gee Bee was at a club called www.ccrc.info (Cobb County RC) and I about lost the plane because the field is small a crap and the GEE BEE just eats the air up. The runway is the longest I have ever landed on but the dang approach is the shortest. There is no really good open place to fly in the Atlanta,Georgia area like it was when I was in Nashville,Tennessee. The good flying fields in GA are either in either north or south GA and they are about 1-1.5 hour away. So over the past few years I have mainly been flying my helis. Good luck with your flight and head wind is your friend. So if you have a wind directly down the runway it will help greatly with landing.
Rowdog, sorry to disagree, but there is a very good field with long approaches and long paved and grass runways in north Atlanta. That is the GMA field in Ball Ground, GA (north-west Forsyth County). We fly everything from small electrics to turbins and giant scale. We have a club house with vending machines, porta potties, and the pits have electric service. Come on out and try it as my guest. We have a number of Cobb County flyers for the very reason you state.
