Default RE: GP GEE BEE

Thanks for the info. I thought flaps were to increase the lift of the wing so the plane would actually "fly" at lower speeds to avoid a "tip" stall. I've never had a problem slowing one down, just slowing it down too much! That has to be the most frustrating crash... nice approach slow down, and crash from 3' above the runway.

So, you just fly the GeeBee down to about 6" at the far end of the runway and cut the throttle? Easier said than done. (I'm looking forward to it.)

Maybe I should wait for the detailed "dummy" until I land it a few times.

I'd like to hear if anyone has 20 flights on this plane?

Thanks for the help!
