About the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m BNF

Authentic Scale Details

The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m captures the unmistakable look of the original aircraft with an abundance of scale features that bring history to life. Molded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, and a detailed pilot figure enhance its realism, while the authentic outline preserves the aircraft's legendary silhouette. Functional details include shock-absorbing landing gear and specially designed wheels that make landings smoother, along with a steerable tailwheel for precise ground handling. The one-piece wing with hands-free connections adds convenience, allowing the airplane to be stored and transported without disassembly. Every detail has been carefully crafted to ensure this model not only looks the part but also performs with the grace and authenticity of its full-scale inspiration.

Advanced Flight Technology

Equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X+® technology, the Gee Bee R-2 delivers unmatched stability by smoothing out the effects of wind and turbulence, creating a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a larger aircraft. Optional-use SAFE® Select technology adds an extra layer of confidence, offering pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be activated at the flip of a switch. Additionally, the receiver comes preloaded with a Smart Transmitter Model File, allowing NX and iX-series transmitter users to import all settings during binding for faster setup. These innovations make the Gee Bee R-2 easier to fly while maintaining the thrill and challenge of piloting a racing legend.

High-Performance Electronics

At the heart of the Gee Bee R-2 is a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver, paired with a brushless outrunner motor and the advanced Spektrum Avian™ 70-Amp Smart Lite Brushless ESC. This system delivers powerful performance compatible with popular 4S 3200-5000mAh batteries, ensuring excellent flight times and exceptional speeds. The Avian ESC provides real-time telemetry data such as battery voltage, current, and motor RPM directly to compatible transmitters, enhancing situational awareness during flight. Four factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos ensure precise and reliable control at every speed, while optional-use motor reversing adds versatility for ground handling. Together, these electronics create a robust and intelligent power system that makes the Gee Bee R-2 as capable as it is iconic.
