RE: Composite-Arf 33% Gee Bee R2 - First Flight - Pics - Videos - L@@K
Hello Guys, sorry for the late reply, we have managed to maiden our Hostettler Gee Bee, no bad tendencies encountered, takeoff did prove a bit troublesome with yaw instability on the ground, but other then that, and a open hatch, the flight went excellent. The handelling caracteristics is excellent and the aircraft does not need the utmost concentration to fly.The aircraft also seems to handle slow speed very well without dropping a wing. There is zero side or downthrust on the engine, washout is about 1.5 degrees, the weight is 18kg.Only adjustment to be made is to the aileron travel, wich were a bit low. See attached photos, the video we made is a bit low quality.
