PRODUCT OVERVIEW
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 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!

BNF Basic - Skill Level 2
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. Although this is the easiest-to-fly Gee Bee model yet, it's not a suitable first RC aircraft for new pilots or a "next step after a trainer" model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly higher-performance ultra-micro models like the various UMX Timber models, or larger models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, the Commander mPd 1.4m, Timber 1.5m models, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the UMX Gee Bee R-2.
Fully Assembled
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.
High Performance
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.
Scale Details
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.
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level
Already own a Spektrum 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!
Telemetry Capable
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.
Exclusive Technology
This UMX Gee Bee R-2 510mm features exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, delivering a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits, along with automatic self-leveling, that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch, making this the easiest to fly flat foamy model yet!
