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.

Both versions include Spektrum digital, metal-geared servos, a 70A Smart Lite ESC, and a 4S-compatible motor.

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.

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 molded-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.

The BNF Basic version Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver that features exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. Enhanced AS3X+ works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch!

Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models.

The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m features an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, which delivers real-time telemetry data directly to your transmitter. This advanced ESC monitors motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more while you fly. The telemetry works with both Smart and non-Smart batteries through compatible receivers, such as the AR631+ and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2/3, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6-20, iX12-20, and others).

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.

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.

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.

This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that makes programming your transmitter as easy as a few clicks of a button. When you bind your transmitter to an STF-equipped aircraft, all programming parameters download automatically from the receiver.

Abundant scale details bring this Gee Bee replica to life, including molded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, a pilot figure, and more.
