About the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m PNP

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.

Plug-N-Play Flexibility

Unlike the BNF Basic version, the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m PNP is designed for experienced pilots who want more control over their setup. Out of the box, it comes with a factory-installed power system and servos while requiring pilots to provide their own transmitter and battery, making it ideal for those who already have preferred equipment and the skills to assemble and fly similar class models. With Skill Level 3 requirements, this version offers a more customizable and rewarding experience while still delivering the unmatched thrill of flying a scale-accurate Gee Bee.

High-Performance Electronics

The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m PNP is powered by a factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor, delivering excellent performance with 4S batteries. Capable of impressive speeds, the motor provides the kind of exhilarating performance worthy of the original racer. A large, magnetically secured top-mounted hatch makes battery installation and removal quick and easy, while optional-use motor reversing adds versatility for special ground handling. Four factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos ensure precise and reliable control at every speed, giving pilots the confidence to perform aerobatics and fast maneuvers with accuracy. Together, these electronics create a robust and flexible system that makes the Gee Bee R-2 PNP a powerful and customizable aircraft for skilled RC pilots.
