RE: GP GEE BEE
Hello; I have a Page GEE Bee R2, without radio or engine it weighs 2 1/2 pounds. Fully rigged and ready to fly it weighs 8 1/2 pounds.
With enough power, I suppose, anything will fly but, are you building it to fly or just to look at?
I noticed that no one is saying how these planes fly at that weight, my plane flys pretty well with a Saito 91. I can't imagine how it would fly at 12 pounds. Wing loading is already too high to relax while flying.
I know some people build planes that can't possibly fly, just because they are so beautiful, I have done that too.
