I am ready to fly it but we are waiting on a cowling. When I get it we can provide some video.

Mine is 6 inches. If you use the DLE standoffs that come with the motor it brings it to 6 3/4. Perfect fit.

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

After some conversation I decided to change the retract mounts to get the wheel in front of the leading edge of the wing. Left wing is done except for the covering. I am really starting to like this...

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

I don't remember. It was about 6 months ago. We had set it up like you would most aircraft you intend to hover. Slightly tail heavy. We were using a DA 85 and wanted to get some video hovering the...

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

It has been a while brother. I did finish the 50cc Gee Bee and it flew great with the DA 85. I took the liberty of setting the CG a little further back for acrobatic playfulness and destroyed the...

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

I thought I might try something a bit different so I installed retracts in my GB 30. Not complete yet but will keep everyone posted on progress. I was working on the Gee Bee 30 last night and one...

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

RE: Giant Model Products Introduces a 50cc GeeBee R3 ARF

We found some good weather yesterday and got our 30cc maidened. The video was shot in 1080P so you need to watch it in full screen HD to see it.
