Nitroplanes Gee Bee 25

Very nice little plane.  Good glasswork on the fuse and cowl, good woodwork and covering on the wings.  I went electric, with the Monster Power 25 motor, 80a Hobbywing ESC, and 4s2200 Fusion Power Lipo.  As far as glow goes, don't be tempted to go beyond the .25 recommended, anything more would be quite hairy.
It goes together pretty fast, the instructions are a bit scanty, but adequate.  The wheel pants and small tires preclude grass field operation, it will nose over too easily.  As it is, you need to be careful on pavement to keep from nosing over.  It's a good deal at $79, for sure, it looks great, very cute airplane, very complete package, surprising quality for the price.
