Just to reinforce what everybody else has said, this is not a great plane unless you have a lot of flying experience. As Minnflyer said, Geebee's were designed for one thing and one thing only-- going as fast as possible. They were designed for racing, so the designers didn't worry too much about the way the plane handled since it only had to turn to go around pylons. They are a handful for even a very experienced pilot. I would get a lot more stick time before moving up to this plane. And even when you do move up to it you might want to try and find somebody that has flown one before to take you up on the buddy box until you feel comfortable flying this plane.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But if you fly this plane before you are ready it's a pretty good bet that the plane will be re-kitted.
