Overview

The Golden Age of Aviation brought us the teardrop-shaped Gee Bee, a racer known for blistering speed but notoriously difficult handling. Now you can own a piece of history with the E-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2, an ultra-micro replica that successfully tames the beast. Unlike the full-sized original, this model is a joy to fly thanks to exclusive AS3X and optional SAFE Select technologies. These innovative systems work behind the scenes to smooth out wind and turbulence, giving you the locked-in feel of a much larger aircraft while allowing you to fly in smaller parks, sports fields, or large yards.

This updated version is not just about control; it is about raw performance and durability. It features a strengthened airframe and a new brushless motor compatible with both 2S and 3S LiPo batteries. Fly it on 2S for a classic sport feel, or switch to 3S for unlimited vertical performance and blazing speed. The model arrives 100% factory-assembled with a telemetry-capable control unit, meaning you can be airborne in the time it takes to charge a battery. Constructed from lightweight EPS foam, it is rigid enough for high-speed manoeuvres yet easy to repair. It is the most accessible and fun way to experience this unique racing legend without the stress.
