The
Gee Bee Model Y Senior Sportster
was a sports aircraft built in the United States in the early 1930s by the Granville Brothers. Essentially an enlarged two-seat version of the single-seat Sportster, it was a low-wing strut-and-wire-braced monoplane of conventional -- if short-coupled -- design with open cockpits and fixed tailskid undercarriage. The first of the two examples constructed (registration
NR11049
) was built for the Granville Brothers company itself and served as a support aircraft for the R-1 and R-2 racers and also for competition in its own right. The other Model Y (registration
NR718Y
) was built as an engine testbed for Lycoming. This latter aircraft was later refitted with a Wright Whirlwind of nearly double the power of its original powerplant. In this form, it was flown by Florence Klingensmith at the 1933 Chicago International Races, where she won second place in the Women's Free-For-All

Be careful of buying files instead of printed plans. They may not be a good deal, for 3 reasons.
1)
It will cost more than 20.00 to print the files, if you can find someone who will print them.
2)
Although printers are calibrated from time to time, you have no idea when you print the files if they are actually accurate.
3)
You have to take the time and trouble to take them to the print shop and either leave them to be printed or wait for them.
I constantly check to be sure the plans I have listed are full size and accurate in every way. When you purchase them, you are assured of getting the highest and most consistent quality on eBay.
