George,
My brother is in love with GeeBees. Had two Kyosho's last year, my son and i helped him learn to take them off. Make sure you have enough speed before even thinking of applying up elevator. I was surprised they don't want to ground loop as much as a "51", but they will tip stall if you haul them off the ground too early. The pants are a pain and easily cause damage to themselves or the wing if flown off grass. The best thing about a GeeBee is a high speed, tilted at 15 to 30 degrees towards the crowd, photo pass!!!
