Default RE: Page R2 Gee Bee

Dean320,
I'd recommend the Saito 100. I built the Page GeeBee R2 and used my 100 in it. Fantastic combo. Flew really light althought I don't remember my all up weight anymore.
Check the strength and stiffness of the wood for the horizontal stabilizer, I lost mine due to high speed flutter when I tried to race a VooDoo Mustang. In my case, the wood was soft and I didn't use a long enough control horn. Since the elevator doesn't need to move much on this plane, I'd recommend using a long control horn and a short servo arm, or use the inner hole on the arm.
You'll like this plane, Adrian did a great job of designing light.
Anyone interested in fiberglass wheel pants? I bought them from Adrian but lost the plane before I ever got around to installing them.
