Hello all, I have this thing for Gee Bee's and am considering getting one, but i have heard some complaints about the their flight characteristics. I have a kit corsaor that i fly around so i have experience with fast taildraggers with higher wingloads. I was debating about the Kyosho 40 size ARF and the huge great planes Gee BEE ARF with the 68" wingspan. I was looking at the wingloading on both of them and they are very high. I'm guessing that the are more or less really fast, flying bricks. SO, what I am really trying to say is that woth experience in the area, are these two planes difficult to fly and which one is easiest to fly.
Thankx for you imput
I have flown both versions. I love them both, but the GP version is easier to fly then the Kyosho version. I fly off grass and the wheel pant are a pain on the smaller one. If you spend tons of time and make sure the CG is right and the throws are set right neather is that hard to fly. If you fly a warbird you will have no problem with the GP version... ON Sale at Tower Hobbies for just over $200 right now. GREAT DEAL... Also no telling everyone there not that hard... We dont want everyone to get one! LOL
PS Kyosho with Saito 82A 52 is not enough power for this plane I tried it ... GP with Saito 150... 120 will work.
