My GeeBee that I can't get to fly correctly.

Whats it doing?

Fandango

First problem was the IPS motor. Must have been a dud cause I could barely keep it in the air. Put a 24 grm brushless in there and it performed better but still week. Needed a bigger prop due to the size of the body. Put on a 10/4.7 prop and now it has authority but now has turning issues. It also incurred some hangar damage while on my workbench and now needs a wing repair.

Want to sell it ?

IPS brushed motors are real "hit and miss" from my experiences. If you tried a lot of 10, a few would fail immediately, and the rest would all perform differently. 1 or 2 of them would perform beautifully and even withstand a beating on 3s, if propped and geared correctly.

I had a size .25 Gee Bee a few years back and the plane needed prop speed not thrust.

This bird doesn't have a very glamorous history.
