Hi Justin,
Well I think all the problems people have with landing the gee bee is inproper setup (throws and CG) Mine flies like a dream very doscile and stable. You have to add a little more speed then lets say a extra or yak when landing but I have flown mine over 23 flites in cross winds and other conditions without a single misshap. I still believe that the Lateral and CG balance are of the utmost importance with this bird. The elevator control settings suggested in the manual from great planes in my opinion are wrong. I would decrease them by a third !! This baby also rolls and knife edges like no other plane I have flown. I also mounted my pants more forward then most people do and on bouncy landings the wheels do not contact the pants. I still cannot believe it flies as good as it does. As far as composite arfs 33% I have flown one and it flies even better (landings are a little slower then the GP R2) but very stable - Steve ANYBODY TRY TO FLY A BASSET HOUND LOL
