I baught a Gee Bee ARF used... Guy baught it on ebay... First mistake! Looks to be the same as KMP version. Instructions suck! 1 page 2 sides... If anyone has built this plane please e-mail me or post. I have questions on mounting belly pan which doesn't even come close to fitting and instructions don't even explane. I can figure most of it out, but this part.. has me stumped... HELP... Thanks

Sir
Flip the fuse upside down install wing ,and start hacking on belly pan till it fits. Every Arf so far that i have built that has a belly pan has been an awfull fit just work at it ,Till you are happy with it.

I have the KMP GeeBee. I didn't really have any problem fitting the belly pan - which is unusual for me. I usually mark where it will be mounted, then I poke holes with a pin through the covering. I spread a layer of 5 min epoxy on the belly pan mounting area and weight it down while the epoxy is curing.

Yea... Not sure if this is KMP or other brand but I'm sure they were made in same factory... Same wing length... body... I have built a couple arfs and the instructions on this one are the worst I've seen ... No measurements for locations just a few pics and they're not very good. The quality of the arf it self is pretty good... I know I can build it.. Just frustrating... When it's finished I'm sure it will be worth the effort.... Thanks
