Well I thought that I had an engine for the Gee Bee.
Its missing one roller for the rod big end and cannot find out what motor it is to order parts.
Apparently it is a conversion of a weed eater or chain saw motor.

I currently do not have this plane......
If you are going to place that gas engine in this plane would you consider adding flaps???

I am not sure that anyone has done this to this plane....One would think that it would help greatly with the landing of this plane???????

Anyone that has this plane, can you look at the wing and tell me if there is any structure there to make flaps?????

Or would I have to re-engineeer the whole wing to make it work?????

Thanks guys.....

Justin
Best solution might be to fabricate an airbrake flap for between the wheels. Definitely not scale, but a whole lot simpler to engineer.

Anybody want a REALLY BIG Byron/Iron Bay R-2?
