IT'S NOT OFTEN YOU SEE ONE OF THESE......

Matthew's Gee-Bee Z

Interest was quickly awakened in the Pitts when Matthew fired up his G-B for its maiden flight.  There was some speculation as to whether it would fly, and for how long?   Sceptical bunch, aren't we?!

The model is built from a Jamara kit.  Wingspan is a dimunitive 800mm and was designed for electric power.  The previous owner who hadn't been 'radicalised', decided on a glow motor in the form of an Irvine .25.

Up and away

Matthew piloted the model up to the sky and after a few clicks of trim the assembled group of spectators was mightly impressed with its performance.  Quite fast too.

Upon landing, Matthew was congratulated for his piloting skills as many believed this is a plane that quite often 'bites' its pilot!

Well done Matthew
