The plug of our 50% GeeBee is done, time to make the mold!
We upned a thread about the project:
50% GeeBee R2 powered by VALACH 420 radial - RCU Forums (rcuniverse.com)

When you start making them, does the internal structure get molded in?

The language barrier hits hart here, what exactly do you mean?

I guess what I'm asking is: When you actually produce a fuselage, is the internal wooden structure added later or is it put in place while it's laid up.
By the way, that plug is gorgeous!

It comes out of the mold like the CARF fuselage - you can add whatever you like later :-)

You all do a great job on these. As much as I see you work I would think more people would be videoing their flights. I love seeing Gee Bee planes fly.

I'm not an expert, but I have seen many people test-fly that way and left them off til they mastered the landings.

Agreed and even the real one flew with the left pant off after it was damaged coming in short on a landing.
