Help requested from Gee Bee enthusiasts, please. I'm building an Adrian Page Gee Bee Z kit and just happen to have an OS 52 four stroke available. Will this be enough to power it - or should I go for something bigger? Also, any tips on how to land it without it pitching over - as I believe it's prone to do?
1. I saw one flying with a Saito 56 and it flew great but landing on grass is a nose-over magnet.

2. The builder had moved the gear 1/2" forward to help minimize that problem.
