Cool plane. Wonder how a plane of that design would handle on control lines.

Hahaha, I agree with that Mark. Maybe I should have added, on a smaller scale, say around a 50 inch w/s. HB~>

I think it would make one unusual looking scale plane for control line.  I likke the way it looks in the air.  I guess the person sitting in the middle of the runway knew he was going to land on the grass.  DOC Holliday

Certainly an interesting subject for a full boogie stunt plane.

     That radial sounds WICKED! ;D ;D ;D

   The question is....

   Who's going to build us one in  .60-.90 size? VD~

  Cheers, Rob.

Uh, well, it isn't a scale model of any GeeBee I ever saw or read about. Not mentioned in "The Gee Bee Racers" by Charles A. Mendenhall. So, I guess this is a "Fantasy Racer"?  A good share of the ARF's...even the ARF Electric Park Fliers...can do the same tricks. I can't figure out why he landed it on the grass, tho. I don't see anything wonderful about it, tho it's kinda cute, in a pseudo-scale sorta way.   ~~> Steve

Bob,
I think that you might have to go to Europe for that plane. I can't swear to the language but it sounded German.
