Hi Guys

I have this model that I am just starting to build but cant read the instructions. Why you ask... Well I dont speak German. It is modeled after the Byron model with some differences. I have one wing rib that for the life of me cant figure where it goes. There are 2 of them and their ply but dont go near the root. It has a different cut out for something but none of the pics in the plan show it. It maybe for the aileron balance but its a guess. Other than that its the same as the Byron wing. As a matter of fact it came with the byron manuel for reference.

The landing gear is different than the Byron. It has a big pneumatic piston for shock abosrbing. It doesnt plug in like the Byron it bolts to the crutch inside the fuse. This is a little fuzzy as there arent any good illistrations on the plan or the instructions.

So has anyone built this Gee Bee from Germany. I have failed to find anything on the net. I am in need of pics of the build if anyone has them.

Im going to power this thing with a Nue 2215/2y 6/7/1 gearbox swinging a 31x18 prop with a 12s2p battery controlled by a CC110HV contoller.

Any help would be great. I can post pics of the ribs if anyone thinks it will help.

Let me know

Jeff
