Relive the thrill of Golden Age air racing with the E-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2, an ultra-micro legend packed with modern power and smart technology. With upgraded 2S and 3S performance, rock-solid AS3X stability, and optional SAFE Select protection, this iconic racer delivers big excitement and smooth control in surprisingly small flying spaces.
The E-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 captures the unmistakable look and spirit of one of aviations most iconic racing aircraft in an ultra-micro size that can be flown in parks, sports fields, and even large yards. Its accurate outline, flying wires, clear canopy, and detailed pilot figure preserve the legendary Golden Age silhouette while adding visual realism rarely seen in models this small. Despite its compact size, the aircraft handles more like a smooth sport model than a demanding racer, making it a joy to fly again and again.
At the heart of the UMX Gee Bee R-2 is a quieter, more powerful brushless motor compatible with both 2S and 3S batteries, giving pilots the flexibility to tailor performance to their flying style. On 2S power it delivers smooth, scale-like performance, while 3S power unlocks impressive speed and unlimited vertical capability. A strengthened wing and modified fuselage are engineered to handle the increased power and speed, and built-in telemetry provides real-time battery voltage data to compatible Spektrum transmitters for safer, more confident flying.
Exclusive Spektrum AS3X technology works behind the scenes to smooth out wind and turbulence, giving the aircraft a stable, locked-in feel that makes it fly like a much larger model. Optional SAFE Select technology adds pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling, allowing pilots to enable extra protection when needed or fly without limits at the flip of a switch. Combined with its fully factory-assembled Bind-N-Fly design, the UMX Gee Bee R-2 offers an exciting yet approachable flying experience that makes this legendary racer more accessible than ever.
