Thanks Craig,
Looks like you did a good job getting a handle on the beast also. Nice work and flying.

I don't understand the folks that think the robostruts will add too much weight.
The Gee Bee comes in plenty light enough and it has plenty of wing area to carry all of the 12 lbs that the specs allow.tHE
The problem of the spring action of the stock gear is easily overcome with the robo struts and the interference of the fairings is easily addressed with your mods and a few other possible tweaks.
