UMX Gee Bee R-2 510mm BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select Overview: The E-flite® UMX™ Gee Bee R-2 510mm is an ultra-micro replica of one of the most iconic and distinctive aircraft designs of all time! This updated and upgraded version features a quieter and more powerful 2S and 3S compatible motor, a stronger wing to handle the extra power and speed, plus telemetry capabilities. 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!
