Default RE: GP GEE BEE

Well another day with two good flights and three great landings. On the first landing my left tire turned 90 degrees. I landed it as smooth as silk but the tire was loose and after about 10 feet of role it turned 90 degrees again and the gee bee stop right in its track and tip over and scratched the cowl . Not worried because it was still in one. The next flight was great, I did a great landing but I ended up doing a two point landing, which is still OK in my book. I would of rather greased it in again. I run a 16x6 because this allows it to slow down the last gee bee I had, I put a 16x8 on it and the thing did not want to slow down on landings. I hope to get the video up this Sunday.

Here is my setup:
OS 120 4 cycle
16X6 prop
15% coolpower
recommended throws for high/low settings
30% expo on the low settings and 50% expo on the high
10.5 lbs with everything but fuel
