Has been some time since I checked in.

My Gee Bee has been finished for sometime other than engine installation.
Still have not made a decision on what to power it with.
I originally planed to use a converted 30cc poulan conversion or a 46cc of same.
Was hoping someone else would lead the way!

I used steel cable for flying wires that are structural to deal with the added stress from weight and speed.
Biggest problem on this is no rib at the scale attach point of wires(with best info on hand)
The next chore was building structure inside the wheel pants to carry the loads of lower wires.
Below are pics of flying wire mounts.


On the froward wires the tear drop pads are ply wood covered with econokote,one on top and one on bottom of each wing and a peice of
aluminum inserted through the wing and then bent to carry loads through wing section.
On the rearward wires the aluminum brackets are held on with bolt through T.E. There is a piece of tubing inserted in T.E. to avoid crushing when bolt is tightened down.

I don't remember what I did inside of the fuse.--it is solid though(will look next time wing is removed)

The lower wing center wire mount is from 1/4 ply.

The next problem is redeveloping my skills at landing high wing loading airplanes.
Chem o seems to have blown my coordination! Slowly improving.

any thoughts on power plant?
really dot look forward to expense of large glow 4 or 2 stroke and the fuel consumption.

Pic of dummy engine.
Note the spark plugs.
made from white painted tooth picks pushed through 2-56 nuts.
wires are stranded and stuck on with short piece of wire insulation with wire removed to simulate wire boots.
sorry for pic quality--best that camera will do.

Looking at my pics I see hinges are not glued! something to do tonight.
also wires are not adjusted.
