Default RE: GEE BEE R3 RACER??WOW!!!

I just received my Donuts Models Gee Bee from Hobby-Lobby.com and it is VERY NICE. There are a few too many efforts to make it light weight in my opinion but that is an overcome able issue as I want to use Glow Fuel.

It does come with two light weight plywood fuselage reinforcements and a balsa sheet to add around the firewall for glow conversion... it also comes with a glow fuel tank and a separate motor mount for electric conversion. There is also a complete hardware package.

This is a first class model in all areas - packaging, assembly, fiberglass and design. One thing I found out quickly is that there is no manual for the airplane in the box, however, there is a link to download it from the www.hobby-lobby.com website on the Gee Bee page: [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/geebee-r3.htm]Hobby Lobby Gee Bee Page[/link] - or directly from here: [link=http://www.hobby-lobby.com/pdf/DMS890_%20GeBeeR3_InstructionManual.pdf]Instruction Manual[/link] - be aware that the manual is limited in detail and has a bunch of translation errors but if you have assembled a few ARF models you should be able to get by with it.

I should have it flying in a couple of weeks.
