Donnerwetter und Wow !! Eine Gee Bee mit Dreipunktlandung, und das beim ersten Flug. Also ich hätte sie wahrscheinlich hingeschmissen bei dem Versuch, so zu landen. Ganz großer Respekt. Kann leider nur einen Daumen vergeben, sonst hätte ich 10 mal gedrückt.

Vielen Dank für das Kompliment! Dreipunktlandung bei einer Gee Bee in dieser Größe und Gewicht ist fast lebensnotwendig. An Hand von Videos aus den 30er Jahren sieht man ganz deutlich, dass das Spornrad zuerst aufsetzt. Sollte also "immer" gelingen😅

@@Daniela64364 Das mag sein, ich kenne keine alten Aufnahmen von Landungen. Aber der Nachbau der Gee Bee wurde vom Piloten Delmar Benjamin immer mit Radlandung aufgesetzt und so lange auf den Haupträdern gehalten, wie es ging. Dazu benutzte er die Bremsen, hielt die Replica sogar mit Motorleistung im Stand auf den Haupträdern. Vielleicht, weil er es konnte ? Ja bestimmt, aber er hat auch bei der ersten Landung mit der Replica eine Dreipunktlandung versucht und ist dabei so stark nach links abgekippt, das der Flügel den Boden berührt hat. Das Original hatte ein sehr flaches Profil und einen markanten Strömungsabriß. Deshalb mein Respekt vor Piloten, egal ob Modell oder echt, die dieses Monster in Dreipunktlage hinsetzen. Die Poliparkow Rata war übrigens noch böser, damit haben sich Piloten im Krieg ohne Feindeinwirkung unter die Erde geflogen. Ich schau gerne zu, aber drin sitzen möchte ich lieber nicht.

Doesn't the named "Scaled Composites" come from the planes they made at 6:10 scale? They found that they could get "good enough" aero characteristics at that scale and I'm sure they used pilots. Not sure if they still in that business, but that's where the name comes from.

I grew up In Springfield and could remember Montclair St. my Grandparents Street right next to the old airfield and Bee Gee plant and old J M fields I believe property that was a airfield where they had tested and built these racers. Well before I grew up but the local linage was left behind still when I was a kid! I loved the design for its time but to unstable from to much horsepower for its design.

Such a great build and flight. It looks and sounds like the real thing in the air. Glückwunsch! I've seen the replica of the full-size Gee Bee R2 fly, and have spoken to Delmar Benjamin about what it's like to fly. It seemed to fly very well and under fine control, not skittish as if it were unstable or sloppy in any way. Delmar, who was very nice and kind to me, said that it was not at all the handful that it was supposed to be as long as he kept airspeed where it need to be which was anything over 80 mph. The same can be said of any high performance aircraft. He also said that he liked flying it, was comfortable in it, and only had to be extra careful immediately after takeoff and on approach to landing. He said that it could snap roll in a flash if the nose was raised too quickly when at slower airspeeds (high Alpha). He said that the R2 stalled without any serious problems (he never spun it) aside from the left wing dropping pretty quickly at the break from engine/prop torque if any power was on, and that it did not like flying slowly at all, understandable for a racing airplane.. However, I never saw it look like he was working particularly hard when he landed it, perfectly and gently on the mains every time.
