Flutter Testing the Gee Bee Z - Leon Tolve - Part One

Here’s a video that's a bit of a flash to my past involving flutter, which always concerned me! I experienced flutter on both of my aerobatic airplanes and lost several friends from it as well. In this video, we call on a well-known and respected flutter specialist Leon Tolve to come down to determine whether or not the famous Gee Bee Z had any potential for it. If you will remember, Lowell Bayles was killed trying to set a world speed record in the original in December 1931 after winning the Thompson Trophy Race earlier that summer. Join us for this two-part series to meet Leon and learn not only about flutter but how it might have related to the demise of the original Gee Bee Z!
