During the “Golden Age of Aviation,” Gee Bee aircraft were among the pioneering pylon racing designs that captivated just about everyone. Their teardrop-shaped fuselages, coupled with small wings and control surfaces, required a skillful hand to fly well, but with the right pilot, they dominated the race course.
Back by popular demand, the E-flite® UMX™ Gee Bee R-2 returns with a more powerful 2S and 3S compatible power system, a modified airframe to handle the extra power and speed, plus exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies that make it easier and more enjoyable for a wider range of pilots to fly.
The UMX Gee Bee R-2 offers handling more like a friendly sport model than a short-coupled golden age racer. With its authentic scale outline, flying wires, pilot figure, and smooth flight characteristics, this replica is a joy to fly daily. AS3X® technology works behind the scenes to provide stability, while SAFE® Select adds self-leveling and angle limits for intermediate pilots.
It arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to bind to your favorite Spektrum™ DSMX/DSM2® transmitter. Designed to fly in small parks, sports fields, and even large yards, it delivers a unique and exciting flight experience.
