Thanks a lot

probably want a tt pro 46 at least. it's not the lightest profile out there. had a os 46 fx on mine and it was a real good combo.

I used to have a YS 45 in mine. It worked really well in it. Now I have an OS 61 FX and it works really well. Really stable in a hover and pulls out well. I like mine, its fun to fly.

thanks for the replie, the 61 must be cool on the GB

I had a 40 on mine but it was a Webra speed 40 on a pipe so it isnt fair to compare it to a TT 46. It was way over powered. Hovers were super easy!!.......................John

The GWB is a heavy profile. You want a good strong 50 size 2 banger. I had a Irvine 53 on mine, and that was OK. The TT 42 won't be enough for 3D flight or hovering.

I went with an Irvine 53 and an UltraThrust pipe. That combo on my other planes was a little much but is perfect on the GWB. I really loved the way mine performed. She was very sweet.

Thanks a lot for the replies and the inf, i have always loved the Gee Bee, it has something that makes it different from others, i don know, or is it just me:D, but its very cool, i am thinking on my next ff or profile, and it will be the gb, sledge or burrito, i dont know wich one to get, if i could i would take all of them:D. Which one would you take

I also have an Irvine 53 on my gee whiz. Plenty of power with a 12.25x3.75 prop. I also have a tower muffler on it. One great knife-edge machine. Can't go wrong owning one.
