An Italian designer, Mr. Mirco Pecorari, designed the Gee Bee R-3, I believe in 2008? "EDITED" Actually before to 2005.
I developed interest in his Gee Bee R-3 as far back as 2009. See RCU Threads.
I've been thinking about the engine choice for my Gee Bee R-3. Been giving it a great deal of thought actually.
Interesting because, I have years of experience with the Rossi engines from my R/C days, so why not an Italian made Rossi engine?
Italian design and an Italian engine. Works for me. #^
Rossi became NovaRossi, politics go figure, still an Italian engine, and what an engine it is!!
NovaRossi, R57CR. A real screamer at 2.19 hp.
Ohhhhhhhhh My Gosh!!
I hope my Gee Bee R-3 engine choice is well received. ;D

I like it, plenty of beef. Rossi's are powerful.
-
It's got fins all over the place. Must really be hot?
-
With the right prop and needle setting I believe you could get into the 140's

With a Rossi at full scream and turning clock-wise, I believe you should be able to travel into the future! %^@ H^^

One thing's for sure, those Rossi engines are very high quality.

But will it 4-2-4? Shouldn't this be on the Stunt Hangar R/C forum? LL~ Steve

Steve,
Thanks for the reply.
If you take a look at my CAD drawing of the fuselage, you will see that I raised the placement of the wing for a more favorable possibility that this model will stunt.
The original Post shows a photo of the R/C Gee Bee R-3 offering. The wing is much lower.
This Rossi is a powerhouse and can pull 100 ounces straight up. Guys are using them for 3D.
Balanced properly with a good choice in a prop, I believe the model will stunt.

Bet it won't! That would require it to fly, and nothing you have built has even been test flown yet. We have seen this before from you, "this will stunt, that will stunt, yada yada yada." Enough of the boring hanger queens! !!!! Show us that something flies!! Engine requirements for R/C 3-D do not mean it's a good choice for C/L stunt. Put it in the air and prove me wrong that way!!!!
Type at you later,

Yes Dan.
Others have hanger queens, so why not me also? The term has been around long before me. LL~ LL~ LL~
Yes, I'm kidding.
You bring this up frequently and in all honesty you make a good point depending on how your point is viewed or taken.
Look, I'm not avoiding flying any of my models and I don't consider them hanger queens. You know they will all get flown sooner or later and you are smart enough to know all of them will fly.
Most have engines that need to be removed and broken in. That has to get done first. My group flies one day a week, Saturday.
The Skyfall 007 Flite Streak will get flown first, probably next Saturday If I don't have lessons. I could and might bring the P-40 out the same day. The engines on those two models are used. Nothing special flying either of these models.
Now the ARGO or the Mig-3 are a bit more interesting. These models need the engines broken in, unfortunately. Although I am tempted to use the OS LS 46 in my Pathfinder just to get them in the air. I might do that because that engine runs well.
I'd like to document the flights but none of the guys have cameras, they don't even know how to take pictures.
Be a shame not to get photos of the ARGO 2 or the Stuka Tank Buster in flight. Same for the Gee bee R-3. Looks like the GBR3 might get in the air before the others because I plan on putting all my building time into it.
I'm really excited about the GBR3 and I would like to get it finished plus get it in the air. The GBR3 isn't designed to do the pattern, but I'll bet I'll get some performance out of it. I know I'll get T n G's. That NovaRossi is an R/C engine.
Dan, thanks for the reply.

BTW, Guys are 3D'ing with that engine turning 16K.

MM,
You can Google NovaRossi USA for the specks. It's a powerful and well made ringed engine.
I might get your stuff in the mail tomorrow.
Glenn,
It's a CC running engine.
