Fly one of the most distinctive and iconic racers of aviation's Golden Age with the E-Flite Gee Bee R-2 1.0m. This isn't just a model; it's a high-performance replica of the famous "teardrop" racer that dominated circuits in the 1930s. Unlike the difficult-to-fly original, this modern RC version is equipped with exclusive AS3X and SAFE Select technologies, smoothing out the wind and offering flight envelope protection that makes piloting this unique aircraft a dream for intermediate pilots and up.
Powered by a potent 4S-compatible brushless power system, this Gee Bee is capable of blistering speeds topping 100 MPH in a dive, delivering the adrenaline rush of air racing right to your local field. It is packed with scale details like flying wires, a pilot figure, and a simulated radial engine, all while offering the convenience of modern Smart telemetry via the installed Avian 70A ESC. With fast, glue-free assembly, you can go from the box to the flight line in less time than it takes to charge a battery. Experience the thrill of a racing legend with the stability and precision of modern E-Flite technology.
You can have the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery. Final assembly requires no glue or special tools, making the setup process extremely quick and easy for pilots of all skill levels.
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is compatible with a 4S battery, giving the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m excellent performance. This power system can help the plane reach top speeds upwards of 161 kph (100 MPH) in a dive, offering incredible speed worthy of the original racer.
Composite materials are used to reinforce the lightweight yet durable EPO (Expanded PolyOlefin) airframe for added strength. This durable construction allows the plane to handle high speeds and aggressive aerobatic flying with confidence.
The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is classified as a Skill Level 2 aircraft, meaning it requires some flying experience. It is suitable for pilots who are already comfortable assembling, setting up, and flying similar class models.
This Gee Bee replica is packed with scale details that bring the plane to life. These details include finely moulded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, and flying wires, which combine to give the aircraft an impressive and accurate appearance.
The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m features an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC (Electronic Speed Control) that delivers real-time telemetry data to your compatible transmitter. This advanced ESC monitors crucial data such as motor RPM (Revolutions Per Minute), current, and battery voltage while you fly.
This plane is equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works seamlessly to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, providing a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger aeroplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-levelling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make it easier to take off, fly, and land!
Already own a Spektrumâ„¢ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This BNF (Bind-N-Fly) aeroplane is equipped with a receiver loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF), making transmitter programming incredibly easy. All programming parameters, including rates, expo, and telemetry, download automatically from the receiver during the binding process.
