I am very interested in the Gee Bee R2 kit offered by Page Aviation. http://www.adrianpage.com I have read the threads on building this kit but no one has posted on it's flying abilities \ tendencies. I was really interested in it's low speed charistics. If anyone has information on this kit, please let me know.


Thanks

I will have mine in the air within 60 days it is built and ready to go just needthe wx.
Sparky

When you do get it in the air, please let me know. What power plant did you choose?

Neo,
There are several other threads that cover this topic, do a quick search and you will find it.
The short version about mine is:
About 8.5 lbs
Nelson cover and paint
YS .91 AC Slimline muffler
JR equipment
Sparky

Mine is still sticks and glass.

Should start building soon.

I recieved a reply to the email I sent page page avaition about the geebee R2. From what he had to say, I will be ordering my kit real soon.


Thanks for the reply's guys.

I flew mine for the first time near the end of last summer. It flew great. I experimented and tried to fly it with an OS 60 fp 2 stroke. I didn't feel like I had enough prop diameter. I had a bit of bad luck and decided to wait to try it with a larger 4 stroke that will swing a bigger prop. That should happen in a few days. It's a wonderful building kit - challenging and rewarding.

Here's a pic.
