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.

Average Customer Rating
   | | Number of Raters: 1 | | | Reviewer: paul_j_bajnoczy@yahoo.com 12/17/2009 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. | |
