If we are not blown away down here in Alabama I will try to fly mine this weekend and get some pictures of it outside. I also had to repaint my wheel pants last year after a bad ground loop. They were only scuffed and not near as bad as your photos. I have a .56 Saito in the Gee Bee and a .52 OS in a Kyosho Stearman. There is a world of difference in these two engines. I do not believe I would be comfortable with the OS engine in the Gee Bee.
