I put one of these together for another club member and flew it on 9/21. A Saito 180 was installed and was more than enough power for the Gee Bee! I had to add 2 1/2 oz of weight to the tail to get it balanced correctly.

The take-off was straight down the runway, it was flown at 1/2 throttle, the first landing bounced, ( I was concentrating on the throttle and touched down at too fast of a speed) and the second landing was smooth.

Great Planes has a winner here!
