Re: Gee Bee

Thanks for posting the pictures. I had considered picking one up, but held off because photos did not show the rigging. With the rigging it makes for a nice looking model. Even at 1/18th scale the wingspan still has to be fairly small.

This is easy and fun i used .020 and .015 wire can get this at good hobby shops . used .020 on wings and landing gear and .015 on tail . used a gap filling super glue. this plane is used in the first sean's of the movie The Rocketeer.I did not have to drill any of the mounting points.

Thanks and I will try that when I have time. Your rigging job is superb!
