 Gee Bee's have been a fav of mine for a long time! Your RC doesnt quite have the lines of the real thing but it's close,it's real fast too.

    Years ago I used to race them in a sim,liked to run the wheels on the water when river racing. :devil

You might be refering to the R1 super sportster. Short fat little racer. This is the R3. It was never built as a real airplane but it was so cool the model industry couldn't wait to make it.
