This is a modern version of a 1930's race plane. In the 30's, these planes had the power of a modern day air liner. Sadly, the GB racer had some major flaws. Such as the wings ripping off at high speeds due to the wooden air frame. It also had an over powering problem due to the massive engine. Thankfully I have made a modern version of this great plane that is much safer to fly. Thanks and good luck!! PS gear also detach on stage one for higher speeds.
