Default GP Gee Bee R1 vs. Nitro Planes. How do they compare?

Hey all. Just curious to hear some input. I have my heart set on a Gee Bee, and I think I want to go with the Great Planes one. From some pictures I have seen the GP looks nicer, but I have seen some others where they look almost identical. Any advice? Thanks! -Chris.

You can buy replacement parts for the GP GB.

You can actually buy the GP GB. The other one has been "sold out" for months and months and .........

If your heart is set on the GB, you may fall in love with this one. If the price is not a problem. Comparing to others big planes this is rigth on the money.

I saw one on the working table of my friend's Larry Tudor (C-arf rep). Belive me this plane is aweson! He is building one for a customer.

Lol!

"Easy and fast to build, about 50 hours only!"

That's FAST?

Great looking plane though.

Nice plane, but a lot of money for a kit that you know will nose over on landing on a regular basis. The GP GeeBee would be a good trainer before that kind of investment.
