The video of my flight was done by my wife with an iPad since my RC buddy that does our groups video couldn't make the trip. I posted the little video I have on YouTube and got guys telling me to put a 3 axis gyro system in it and I'm thinking it wouldn't be a GeeBee anymore...... No way!!!

May be another opportunity to GeeBee this coming weekend.....the weather has been crazy so I will try some inverted flight which is a great CG indicator and also try the smaller 29 1/4"X13 prop. I'll let you gents know the findings. Just watching the weather now

Nice! We have a Super Star! LOL! Where did you get the prop? From Germany I am guessing.

Sorry but I just have to say I can't believe this thread of the Gee Bee is still around. I am one of the originals that built this beauty almost 10 years ago in October of 2004. What really is surprising is when I bought my kit 10 years ago, it was $899 new from Comp ARF. Now I see it sells for almost $2,200 at Chief Aircraft. WOW!!!

Hannes,

So sorry to see the Gee Bee was lost and VERY glad to see you are building another! I have looked to this thread many times for inspiration to keep and build mine when I finally have the time to do so.

NOTHING to report. I have heard nothing from Andreas re: his plans for this plane?
