Gee Bee 25 - Almost Ready to Fly

Glow to Electric Conversion Information


In the history of aviation, the period from the late 1920s to the mid-1930s was known as
"The Golden Age of Air Racing". A time when aviation was still in its infancy.
Air races were sponsored by well intentioned entrepreneurs offering thousands of dollars
in prize money during the money-tight Great Depression, hence aircraft builders were
enticed to produce race planes. The reality of flight soon progressed from flimsy aircraft
with questionable power and poor controls, to aircraft designed for one purpose - speed-
Aviation pioneers from the military, aircraft companies, as well as lone individuals strove
for the glory of crossing the finishing line first. Thus entered the Granville brothers of
Springfield, Massachusetts, who were building two seat biplanes for private use
(the Gee Bee Model A). These gentlemen went on to build some of the most famous race
planes of that era. Aircraft that won many races and set new speed records, making use
of new and bold design concepts to squeeze as much speed out of the power plants as possible.

The plane is very good quality. the fuselage is well made, over kill for this size model. The only weak point is the landing gear. The wheele pants did not last the first landing. The manual did not come with control limits. The first flight was hairy, us lots of expenental!!!!! I love the plane. It seperates the men from the boys.
