E-flite Gee Bee R-2 1.0m RC Airplane Introduction
Gee Bee aircraft were among the pioneering racing airplanes that captivated just about everyone during aviation's Golden Age. Their cutting-edge, teardrop-shaped designs, coupled with small wings, required a skillful hand to fly well, but with the right pilot, they dominated the racecourse. The E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is a faithful replica of the iconic aircraft, featuring an abundance of scale detail along with modern features and technologies to deliver an unmatched flying experience. It assembles quickly and is sized to be easily stored and transported without disassembly. The Bind-N-Fly® Basic version is equipped with enhanced AS3X+® technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence like never before, plus optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it easier to fly. Both versions include Spektrum digital, metal-geared servos, a 70A Smart Lite ESC, and a 4S-compatible motor.
E-flite Gee Bee R-2 1.0m RC Airplane Overview
Aviation history produced few designs as unique and recognizable as the Gee Bee R-2, yet RC modelers rarely get the chance to fly one. The E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is a conveniently sized replica that offers incredible scale detail, modern conveniences, features, and technologies to deliver a truly unmatched flying experience! It's capable of fast and smooth flying at speeds of up to 100 MPH in a dive, along with a variety of aerobatics, and has unexpectedly stable slow-speed handling that makes it easier and more enjoyable for intermediate to experienced pilots to fly.
It features an authentic outline and an abundance of scale details, including moulded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, and a pilot figure. Functional features include shock-absorbing landing gear and wheels specifically designed to make it easier to land, along with a steerable tailwheel. The one-piece wing includes hands-free connections, yet the Gee Bee 1.0m is sized to be easy to store and transport without disassembly. The factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos provide precise and reliable control at every speed. The power system includes a Spektrum™ outrunner motor and an Avian™ 70-amp Smart Lite ESC, which are compatible with popular 4S 3200-5000mAh batteries. The Bind-N-Fly® Basic version is also equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver featuring exclusive and enhanced AS3X+, along with optional-use SAFE Select technologies to provide you with the outstanding control you always wanted but never thought possible in a Gee Bee model. And it all adds up to deliver a model that's a dream to fly while offering an exciting and incredibly unique scale flight experience.
E-flite Gee Bee R-2 1.0m RC Airplane Features
- An abundance of scale details, including moulded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, and a pilot figure
- Optional-use motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities
- Large and convenient top-mounted hatch provides easy access to the battery
- Fast and easy bolt-together assembly – no glue or special tools required
Skill Level 3 – Experience Required
Skill Level 3 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for more experienced RC pilots who already have the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. This PNP version requires more experience and skills to assemble and fly than the BNF Basic version because you will need to install a receiver that does not already include properly tuned AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. You should have the experience and skills necessary to assemble and successfully fly models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Sportix 1.1m, Commander mPd 1.4m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m PNP version.
Plug-N-Play® Completion Level
The Plug-N-Play (PNP) version comes out of the box with a factory-installed power system and servos, ready to connect to a compatible receiver of your choice (sold separately), along with the transmitter and battery you provide (also sold separately). Simply install the receiver, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Flexible Power
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 4S compatible, delivering excellent performance worthy of the original racer, including top speeds upwards of 100 MPH in a dive. The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch makes it easy to install and remove popular 3200–5000mAh batteries.
Abundant Scale Detail
Abundant scale details bring this Gee Bee replica to life, including moulded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, a pilot figure, and more.
Durable Precision
Composite materials reinforce the lightweight yet durable EPO airframe for added strength. The factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos deliver reliable and precise control at every speed to perform fast and aerobatic flying with confidence.
Easy Assembly
No glue or special tools are required for final assembly, so you can have the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! Plus, its convenient size allows it to fit fully assembled in almost any vehicle for easy transport and storage.
