I just bought a Byron 80" Gee Bee from an estate sale. I have some questions about it. Iron Bay Models could probably answer some of them, if they are still around. Haven't been able to find them. Do they have a different web site now?

Thanks

Tall,
You'll have to list your questions and have them answered here by some of the pilots that have built the plane.

Talked with Aaron at Iron Bay Model Company today. They were unaware that their website www.IronBayModelCompany.com was down. The phone number is 304.232.7511. He can help with any GeeBee questions and parts. -kingair70

That's great to hear since I fly a couple of their planes and hopefully not need any of the spare parts.

Their web site has been dark for many days. I wonder if they are going out of buisness???

I just talked to them yesterday and they are supposed to be sending me a manual for the Gee Bee and a catalog. He did also mention something about going round and round with the web site owner, so who knows anymore.

Just tried again and it jumped straight to the web hosting company. They (the web company not Iron Bay ) are in chapter 11 so I would guess it is their problem. Hopefully Iron Bay will get a new host.

Hmm... not sure if that's true, since the info on the Stargate website about the chapter 11 filing is over a year old. But today, THAT website now forwards to yet another web hosting company, so maybe that's it...
