Coming from a huge Gee Bee fan. Just as Delmar is the master of the full scale. Hannes is the master of the scale model. I always enjoy watching and trying to learn from watching the videos on this thread. Unless you have flown the Gee Bee you will never understand the feeling of a perfect landing with this bird. Mine is just a 1/4 scale Adrian Page plane. The air foil is nowhere near the scale of the CARF model. But at 20 lbs you still have to fly and land it with a fine touch. Best to land at a high idle setting and put it on the mains. Then slowly throttle back and hope it settles on the rear wheel and not the tail fin. Takes a long runway.
I can see Hannes was devistated by the loss of his R2. Like losing a close friend. I hope the next one lives up the first ones legend. Looking forward to many more videos.
Thanks Paul.
