RE: GP GEE BEE
76.ta,
Keep us posted on how your building going. I just started mine today, and I am trying to figure out what engine to use. Looking at the weight, 11- 12.25, or something like that, I am a little not sure the 120 4stroke with fly it as I like. I am not looking for speed, I just want scale flight, with plenty of power to get out of trouble if need be. I was thinking of using a saito 150 or 180. I am flying a cap right now with a 180 that weighs in at 12.5, and the 180 doesn't have unlimited power in it, so I don't think it will be crazy in the gee bee. It will just take throttle management. I also was looking at engine weights, and the 180 is only .5 ounce heavier than the os 120 recommended. This way I could also get a bigger prop outside the cowl which would be nice. Anyway, let me know what your thinking, and i wil do the same. What are you using for servos? I know it says only 40 in-oz, so it looks like standards will be ok.
Thanks,
Ryan
