Default RE: GP GEE BEE

Well my Gee Bee is ready for its maiden, hopefully tomorrow. It is powered by an OS 160 FX two stroke. I managed to hide the remote glow in the gap between the cowl and fuse. Trying to hide the switch seemed pointless, so I just mounted it on the side of the fuse. The only thing I have done other than stock is paint the cockpit black and add a red headrest which was the plastic cap of a bottle of Fantastic. Looks great! I am leary about trying to land it based on what I have heard here, but whatcha gonna do. It needed an ounce of lead in the tail as well as moving the battery behind the wing saddle. It has an 18x10 Master Airscrew 'Classic' on it. Here is a grainy cell phone shot of it. Maiden will be videoed. Happy flying!
