hi bat man
i have the kmp 80!QUOT! gee bee.
i used a G26 on it.
in th manual they implement of the CG is 105mm from leading edge!!!
the G26 is 35mm away from the fire wall in order to reach the prop out of the cowl,( i can get back by 20mm than the prop will align on the edge of the cowl exactly!!)
i have a problem!
a huge nose weight!!!
i started to run on the runway and as the rear wheel went up, the nose went down damaging the prop!!!
any suggestion?
the g23 is the same as the g26 so i believe you have more knowledge on the setup than mine.
i have moved all servos: rudd*1 + elev*2 to the back, they aren't installed on the original servo tray in the middle of the body!
thx
gadi,

I flew mine a lot and you have to get used to the plane. If the plane is balanced right you have to get used to when the tail comes up using the elevator to hold it level. gain speed riding on the wheels. then lift off. It takes practice. If you have another tail dragger practice with that. If the Gee Bee lifts too soon it will tip stall.
