Description

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 (Ultra Micro eXtreme) 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 E-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 is ready to soar through the skies in more places and smaller spaces thanks to its handling that has more in common with a friendly sport model than a short-coupled golden age racer. Awe-inspiring with an authentic scale outline and abundant details such as flying wires plus a pilot, this replica offers handling so remarkably smooth, you'll want to fly it every day. AS3X technology works behind the scenes to help you enjoy the outstanding stability and control you always wanted but never thought possible in such a small airplane, let alone in a model of the Gee Bee. Optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection technology delivers automatic self-leveling plus pitch and bank angle limits that make it possible to successfully fly such a unique design even if you're an intermediate RC pilot. It also features a quieter and more powerful 2S and 3S compatible motor, along with a modified fuselage and stronger wing, designed to handle the extra weight, power, and speed when using 3S 280–300mAh batteries. Best of all, it arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to bind to your favorite Spektrum DSM2/DSMX-equipped transmitter so you can be flying in almost no time! And it all adds up to deliver a model of the classic Gee Bee that's a dream to fly while offering an exciting and incredibly unique flight experience from large yards and small parks to sports fields and beyond! Exclusive Technologies In The Box Needed to Complete Features Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble and/or set up and fly similar class models. The factory-installed brushless power system features a much quieter 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motor. This power system setup delivers similar performance to the original when flown with 2S 280–300mAh batteries (a suitable JST-RCY to JST-PH adapter, such as the SPMXCA327, may be required). Alternatively, it's significantly faster and delivers unlimited vertical performance when flown with 3S 300mAh batteries. The UMX Gee Bee is equipped with a control unit/flight controller that includes an ESC and Spektrum receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, the iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly. Construction with advanced EPS material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe with more surface detail, which is lighter and stiffer than EPO or EPP. It's also easily repairable with odorless/foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam, epoxy, and other foam-friendly adhesives. Or, if you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a complete line of replacement/spare parts is readily available. The UMX Gee Bee arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2-equipped transmitter, allowing you to fly within minutes of opening the box. Beyond the true-to-scale outline, flying wires attached to the wing and landing gear, a clear canopy, a pilot figure, and more are scale details that enhance the looks and flying experience of this unique model.
