Hey Guys
I have this plane put together and am kinda afraid to try and fly it after reading this forum. I have Real Flight G2 and have been flying it there. What I am wondering is how accurate G2 is? Has anyone else tried flying it on G2, and if so is it somewhat accurate? Mine has an OS 120 FS and stock landing gear. Does anyone else have this combination, and what can I expect?
Thanks
Ron
Ron,
I flew my GeeBee with a 120FS-III and it was plenty of power. As for Real flight, It doens't prepare you for the landings. This plane will take off and fly around without issued, but it does'nt like a cross wind as the big Fuselage really catches the breeze!
Alas, mine met it's demise at a fun fly this year. I was doing demo flights at lunch with it (most people don't believe it will actually fly!) and right after I took off the wind shifted to 90 degrees off of the runway. Our field isn't forgiving enough with a cross wind and you need to be able to slip in for landings sometimes. It's not easy to siop the GeeBee without tip stalling. Anyway, it wasn't the landing that got me...it was the wires I forgot about when I swung way out to setup for a longer approach!
I'd love to have another one and if they ever discontinue this ARF I'll grab another for the future. Just need a more flexible field to be able to get it on the ground!
