Gee Bee & Tiger Moth ARFs

Model Airplane News, Jul 2001

There's no mistaking a Gee Bee Z for anything else at the field, and there's no mistaking the topnotch workmanship that goes into every Super Quality Series ARF from Great Planes. This 1/5-scale racer has all the style and charm of the original in an 80-percent-built ARF. It sports a 56.4-inch wingspan and weighs in at 6.4 pounds. You'll need to supply your own .46ci 2-stroke or a .52 4-stroke, but all the hardware is included.

For those who seek something a little less racy, there's the graceful de Havilland DH82 Tiger Moth ARE The plane is covered in MonoKote and features a painted fiberglass cowl. At 71 inches, the wingspan qualifies the Tiger Moth as IMAA-legal. Powered by a .61ci 2-stroke or a .91ci 4-stroke, this bipe is sure to please.
