I've had my Gee Bee R2 about 7 months now and I really like the plane. Mine has a Saito 150...standard servos except for the rudder (75#)....I also used 440 rods all the way around. I hate using the wooden poles they give you...just don't trust em. I mounted a remote glow just under the cowl on the front of the fuse, a long glow starter fits well. I mounted the switch vertically low on the fuse. The best article on this plane was in RC Report about a year by D.Pettit. I did almost exact everything that he did and the plane came out great. You DO have to get the CG RIGHT!!!!! This plane does not have a CG range....it has a Center of Gravity..one spot and thats about it. The instructions tell you to use a string through the fuse with the wing bolted on.......if you don't have a CG machine. I used both methods and the string method just didn't work for me. Take your time with the CG and get it right and the plane will fly as advertised. The landing is another matter. The best procedure for me to land this plane is to be a a higher altitude on final than normal...use about 3 to 4 clicks of throttle (depending on engine and prop) and bring it in a little steeper than normal..then a few feet above the ground bring the nose up and throttle back (do not porpoise the plane) and make a 3 point landing. I have flipped this plane twice prior due to a shallow landing approach and too much speed. I have not flipped it landing it this way (yet). The only thing that I don't like about this setup is with the Saito 150 and tank that came with the plane I can only get a 5 min. flight. It seems that you no sooner take off and its time to land. I hope this info helps...........let us know how the plane turns out. Oh yeah...concerning the landing you CAN get it too slow so be sure to keep some throttle on until just before flaring for landing. Have a Ball!!!!!!!!!!!
