Oh i was going to say you are balancing the plane as you go with the GB on it ?

yes Eric , I have the GB installed and using it as I build to balance the plane without having to use any additional weight. I’d rather have the airplane beefed up instead of a Chunk of lead or clay to balance it . PS . All my builds tend to Babe Bee

a little heavy

Bwahahaha...who ever said "you can get a rock to fly on a string" was most likely watching me sling a porky plane through the air!

Thanks Bob , I’m painting the fuselage today. Painting it yellow, I don’t have red , wonder if black would look ok in lieu of the red ?

Black always works well with yellow. The big problem is that you can't see the elevator prior to launching. Always insure up is up and vice versa not too mention you can't see neutral easily either.
