Bruce's 121 mph DS GeeBee

This is a video of Bruce Tebo having a lot of fun with his 33 ounce GeeBee foamie by ElectriFly. He converted the model to a glider for slope soaring. With a few mods to this 38.5 inch wing span airframe it was DS'd to a speed of 121 mph at Weldon, California.

That was awesome! Just the fact that it's a GeeBee Dynamic soaring is too cool ✌🏼😎👍🏼

It took me a moment to realize that this relatively inefficient plane design it being used as a glider, that is absurd and amazing - thanks to the nose cone and a great pilot who knows what he is doing.

Gee bee as a slope soarer? Great job. 👍😲

[@Planekrazy1]

We had so much fun, never a dull moment with Bruce on the hill.

[@stevec7596]

That's hilarious! Good job!

[@gmenut]

Mind blowing! It took me my SRTL to reach 121😂

[@SpeedamigoModellflugfilm]

Almost as fast as the original GeeBee 😁😁

[@Planekrazy1]

Yes sir, although this one is much faster by comparing wingspan/scale 🤓😃

[@kev4354]

that GeeBee should have caught fire being foam at that speed. Flys Lovely, Well Done

[@Planekrazy1]

LOL

Bruce can make anything a good DS ship! LOL So much inspiration, thank you! Way to go! SO much fun. Thank you for capturing this video! Great job.

[@Planekrazy1]

LOL so true. Thank you buddy, it was a lot of fun, glad you enjoyed the video. You sure were missed big time on this trip. Hopefully next time schedules align.

That is great!! That poor plane has gone through heck before Bruce took on the challenge of flying it. It was dropped off at Aloft as a free plane with a badly repaired wing. We took it to Sunset and it refused to fly, think 3 or 4 different pilots messed with it, never getting more than a couple of really bad laps out of it. Bruce seemed to like and and thought it had promise, and I think he really wanted to see how fast it might go. So he saved me a trip to the trash can. :) Great fun!

[@Planekrazy1]

Great story. Bruce definitely enjoys flying it and the speeds it has achieved is incredible. And of course he is not done pushing its limit yet, with a few more mods, higher speeds should be attainable 😎

[@WayneFlower]

@@Planekrazy1 Yep, sounds like Bruce. Always fun when he is around, and I always learn something from him too.
