Gee Bee R-2 1.0m BNF Basic with AS3X+ and SAFE Select Overview

Gee Bee aircraft were among the pioneering racing airplanes that captivated just about everyone during aviation's Golden Age.

The E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is a faithful replica of the iconic aircraft, featuring an abundance of scale detail along with modern features and technologies to deliver an unmatched flying experience. It assembles quickly and is sized to be easily stored and transported without disassembly. The Bind-N-Fly® Basic version is equipped with enhanced AS3X+® technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence like never before, plus optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it easier to fly. Both versions include Spektrum digital, metal-geared servos, a 70A Smart Lite ESC, and a 4S-compatible motor.
