Very NICE Anthony! Looks like you have her dialed in! You have that nice flying wire WHINE, as does Hannes... I experienced the whine in on my first Gee Bee, but my second, not at all. We believe my flying wires are so tight, they are no longer vibrating. Not sure if this is good or bad, but the WHINE does sound GREAT

I too have found the 30x12 to be the ideal prop on a 150cc. I flew a 32x10 one time and did not like it at all. Have also flown a 28x14... LOTS OF SPEED!!

LOVE those GRASS FIELDS... the PERFECT environment for flying a Gee Bee...
Have you deviated in any way from the CARF instructions? CG? Rudder/throttle mix?
Do you know your aircraft's flying weight?

When do you anticipate having the markings applied?
