RE: Increasing Wing Loading
Hi Guys
I am a new member and actually joined when i read this discussion forum.
I own 2 fiberclassic geebee r2's and fly them with 3W 150 engines they fly unbelievable and i can only say as long as the CG is correct and you keep the controll throw not to big or use some exponential they fly like babys.
I can land my GeeBee as soft as any one of my 40% 3D planes.
Setup for this plane is the most important thing.
I can pull the plane through 10G turns with no problem and no snapping out.
When you slow them too much they only become mushy and stall straight ahead the moment you apply power it is flying again.
I also own one Jamara GeeBee R2 with 36 inch wingspan, thw Adrian Page model Z and R2 and now the great planes model R2.
I hve over 50 flights on each one of these planes excluding the greatplanes one as the first flight will be in about 10 days only but all of them fly absolutely great and can do all the manouvers in the book.
The only GeeBee that i ever had that flew bad was my first one and it was a kyosho model Z but i might have had the CG completely wrong as the first ones did have this problem according to the instructions.
I have to back adrian on this topic and say that most poeple that critisize the GeeBee has never had one or did not get the CG and controll throws right.
They truly are amazing planes.
