RE: GP GEE BEE
Well my maiden flight on my OS 160 powered Gee Bee went well, at least in the beginning anyway. The landing, however, was not so good. Flew great and the sound of the 160 was awesome. Easy to fly, nimble and what a looker! Unfortunately, both gears went through the wing as soon as it touched down. The landing was not hard, just a little fast (did not want to drop down the speed too much). After I chop down the video I will post it. I was shocked that they ripped out so hard...I thought it would just start rolling...I think that the pants caught a rutt or something. So, both wing halves are shot. As are the wheel pants and cowl. Of course, for wings, wheel pants, cowl and decals it is nearly $150. That does not include the ply to join the wing either. So, it seems that the best bet would be to just get another arf. Sigh.
