RE: mini gee bee or tribute
I went with a Tribute with an AXI 2212/26 on a 3 cell lipo and really enjoy flying it. Even with large control throws it flys like a trainer as long as you add expo. Beef up the landing gear or it is useless. The tail will waggle at full throttle but you will not be using much full throttle. This is an ideal first 3-D plane.

unless im missing something, the gee bee was a race plane, quite unsuited to 3d...... I would get the tribute

RE: mini gee bee or tribute
i just flew the tribute for its 80 or so time and i love this plane it does every trick in the book (with alittle wing flex )and i still havent put the yak 54f into service because the tribute wont crash or completley break on me ...the only thing is the yak 54f would be a better buy because its newer(improved) .i also like the more realistic look on the yak 54f but i cant bring myself to pull off the tribute parts to make the yak work
