RE: GP GEE BEE
David,
Just about the only gripe I've heard about construction was the fit of the belly pan. Wasn't a problem for me, but I guess for some it's not simple enough. The pan needs to be trimmed and adjusted to achieve a good fit, but it's not something you can just glue on. Sounds like you're not one to shy away from a little modification so shouldn't be a problem for you.
It will be interesting to see what you think of the wing. Most folks who are kit builders find ARFs to be a little underbuilt. I know when I had my hard landing the wing didn't stand up and the Robarts twisted right back through them, so If I was building the wing I'd probably add some more structure. When I got my new wing set I save the old ones. Someday I might take the covereing off the old wings and fix them up with some toughter materials.
