I installed 500mah battery,removed landing gear,added weight to nose.cut8x4 prop by 1/4 in. Plane pulled to the right in loops; cut slot in fuse behind motor mount, re-aligned motor mount..result..unlimited verticals,completely out of sight,..Lengthed aileron servo arms by one hole,result; does all pattern manuvers on low rate..High rate50 percent more will do anything you can dream up,except snap rolls[too much fuse] extremely fast or extreme slow..will fly in high wind,if you are pilot enough!!!!!

I'm a Gee Bee foamy enthusiast. This is a fun, solid plane. It flies as well as the Gee Bee unbreakable, yet is even more solid in its construction. I just flew it last weekend. My flying weight came out to about 230 grams: (2) hs-55 hitech and (2) Spektrum servos, an orange spectrum compatible receiver, and a 10amp speed controller. Overall, it builds so that the center of gravity is at least two centimeters behind the recommendation. With a 500mah battery it flies really well with lots of 3D potentialallowing for the cg to be back a little. I tried out a heavier Flight Max 800mah on it, and that moved the center of gravity up a little but decreased the 3D characteristics. I'm probably going to try it out with the Turnigy 2730 Brushless and the 800mah.
