UMX Gee Bee R-2 510mm BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select Overview

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.
