RE: GP Gee Bee R2 ARF
I was also wondering why the wing and stab were almost 5 degrees different from one another. The wing is positive. Didn't measure thrust line, but there's a lot of down and right built into the firewall. With the fiberglass fuselage, I'd expect the angles to be pretty close to what the designers wanted in the first place.
My Gee Bee has a Saito 150 (I had one on the shelf). It weighs 12 lbs 5 oz, with only added item being a DGS-2 on-board glow lighter. No added weight needed to balance.
Test flights later this week.
