Thanks for the advice! I've always been a GeeBee fan since childhood. This is going to be great! We should start a GeeBee forum! Just reading the history of the Granville Brothers and their planes and their history is amazing!

Anyway, I have about a thousand foot, concrete runway to try to land on, so I should be fine. The concrete can be a little abrasive though... and has caused some "grinding" problems on my other planes. Fiberglass should do well. It does have a tendency for crosswind, so I'll have to pick the day. I can always take the Kangke out for crosswinds..

dirtydingus,

This is the post I was looking for... you're in the GeeBee Club (250 flights) in my book! I guess I was just looking for assurance that this plane would go the distance with someone who was committed. You are committed, and so am I! I'm going to build this up nice and, hopefully, fly it a lot! I'd also like one of the Pacific Aeromodel's GB y's. Maybe next year.

This is a great forum, I've not figured it out completely, but seems a little hard to find information right now. I'll probably figure that out before the Gee Bee!
