This is a turbine GeeBee in our local club and it can do some cleaning work.

I don't know what to say other than ( THAT THING IS COOL AND STUPID AT THE SAME TIME)

Tell your friend to get some bigger wheels.....


Alan

Wicked !!

I've seen it all now...

Why ? So it'll look more scale !

That's one of the coolest and most original turbine projects I've seen in a long time ! Any more info on kit and engine ?

Marc

Just watched the second video . Now I've seen it all . You guys are having way too much fun ! ( but maybe should wear some hearing protection !)

How about a D/F cub. Joe brought this modified cub to the Madras, Oregon jet meet in 1996. Flew great.


I was stationed in Japan for almost 6 years and if Taiwan is the same as Japan when it comes to land use and flying fields, their field was probably built on a flood plain which accounts for all the silt debris on the flying site. It is easier to blow it off than to suck it up.

This GeeBee is modified from a 120 glow-power ARF kit and very cheap (approx $200). It is powered by Artes Bee.

Likai, you guys really come up with some good stuff, that geebee is too cool, but my question is how are you guys able to fly over the people in the park without complaints? or is there ever a concern for thier safety?.. not wanting to start a debate, just curious how that works.

Hey,

I think he missed a spot on the runway!!

I've thought about trying this on a mustang!!

Raf

Hey very nice idea [8D]

However, using a $2000 engine to clean dust is questionnable... Spoilt kids ??

Questionable...? Why?

It's their engine... they can use it as an apple plantation heater as far as I'm concerned...

You've got the hand it to these guys: they're original!

Turbines can be used for most anything... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyGDxglTVgA&eurl

those who can't afford these engines for normal use are pissed [&o]

Is that a tams smoke set up on the back of those?

It's cool, I don't get it, but it's cool :P
Seems like an odd progression though doesn't it? Propjets, the prop guys trying to fly something that looks like a jet, and now a turbine guy flying something that looks like a prop plane :P

Sure beats seeing the usual bunch of military and sport jets. Definitely thinking "outside the box"!

I think it's awesome...creative, impractical, weird, funny and apparently hard to land, but I like it! Kudos to whomever the builder/pilot is.

Barry

WOW, now thats something different. I just got an idea, an Airworld Gee Bee R3 with a turbine.

Sung

This is exactly what this hobby is all about: men being creative and are having fun with their toys[X(].....I mean models[8D]...

I have the Great planes Gee Bee ARF if someone wants to do a conversion....Raf???

Ehab,

I have that giant scale P-51 that I have no idea what to do with....as long as the turbine survives our misfit adventures, I'm stoked to try what ever!

Raf

Ok, so let's use your P51 or my Gee Bee and one of your P70's[&:]

That's funny it lands better than all the prop gee bees

Proof positive that just because you CAN do something.. doesn't mean you should.

well if it were on floats ????????????????

I can't believe that this thread was dug up from the grave.... LOL

All I can say is that it's stupid. Same thing with putting a turbine engine on a J 3 CUb... tarded if you ask me. But no one asked me so who cares about my opinion right? Right.
