Honestly I can't think of ANY ARF plane that approaches the high wing loading and short coupling that this version Gee Bee has. You've picked a hard road making this your 4 plane... this plane IMHO would be better suited to someone thats been in the hobby a few years and wants a good challenge. My advice would be built it, hang it, and get a BUNCH more flying time under your belt. I've seen this plane put a frown on too many Pilot's faces that have been the hobby for YEARS... most were due to bad dead stick landings... this plane floats just a bit WORSE that a brick a few were just plain bad landing approaches... take a look at the review video's of this plane... you'll see what i'm talking about
