Throws for Page GeeBee Z
Hi;
Can anyone tell me how I should set the throws for Adrian Page's Gee Bee Z?
I may be taking my first flight (on this plane) this week, so any other pre-flight tips you may have would be well appreciated!
Thanks!

Dan,
Have 6 flights on mine now. Great flyer. Throw set per plans/instructions. Saito .65 APC 13-6. Big difference with Master Airscrew prop. Highly recommend the APC. Fly off grass if you can and no x wind's. My landings are about 50% wheels down so far. The trick is to really slow it down and three point it. If your hot and not really tail low it tends to bounce and the front of the pants hit and over it goes! If you can drag it with a little power to slow it down more that makes all of the difference but is a bit unnerving.
