The rather obscure member of the Gee Bee family, the Ascender. Built by thr granville brothers out of boredom from the remains of a crashed Aeronca. The Ascender reportedly flew very well despite a slow roll rate, which was to he the reason of its death a few months after its creation. I built this fairly fast and it flies pretty darn good despite its retchid appearance.
