Default RE: GP GEE BEE

So far, MY GP Gee Bee is awaiting servos, on-board glow lighter and muffler. Everything else is installed, Saito 150, receiver, 1650 mah 5 cell NiMH pack, switch, control linkages, tank, everything...

It weighs 10 lbs 5 oz. Add the missing stuff and I'll have about 11.5 lbs, at the low end of the weight range. It balances exactly at the location indicated in the manual, so the additional stuff can be compensated for using battery shifting.

Be careful when Zapping the rudder to the fuselage. The slots in the fiberglass on both parts may not allow CA to get into the hinge before drizzling down the outside. (Don't ask!)

I checked my aileron mount points. There is a rib-to-rib piece of balsa, but inset into that is a piece of lite ply where the horn goes. If you offset the servo arm to the inboard side rather than outboard as shown, the horn will be screwed to balsa only. Follow the instructions!
