RE: Composite-Arf 33% Gee Bee R2 - First Flight - Pics - Videos - L@@K

I know the pipes will present a C of G issue. I have been down this road before with IMAC models, and the Gee Bee will be a whole different senario!! In the end canisters may well be the only option....

RE: CA SuperExtra elevator servos

The elevator servo's are not ganged together on the Superxtra. The aileron servo's are. Perhaps you were thinking of the 3.3 Yak.
