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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eE-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 RC Airplane Overview\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEE BEE is a registered trademark of KW Intellectual Properties, Inc. and is used under license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- Stop Overview Tab --\u003e \u003c!----Start Video Tab----\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eE-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 RC Airplane Video\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ciframe allowfullscreen=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T2RPDTGMS8E\"\u003e\n\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!----Stop Video Tab----\u003e \u003c!-- Start Features Tab--\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003c!-- Start Key Features--\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eE-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 RC Airplane Airplane Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003c!--- Column 1 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn ultra-micro version of the iconic Gee Bee you can fly in more places and smaller spaces \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe most affordable, convenient, and easiest to fly Gee Bee R-2 model yet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA quieter and more powerful 2S and 3S-compatible brushless motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal-time battery voltage telemetry with compatible Spektrum transmitters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpektrum receiver with industry-leading 2.4GHz DSMX\/DSM2 technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unmatched stability and locked-in feel of exclusive AS3X technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!--- Column 2 --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasier to fly with optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompletely factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale features, including an accurate outline, flying wires, and a pilot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConvenient top-mounted hatch fully conceals the battery compartment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-channel control for full aerobatic capability with a steerable tail wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo FAA registration or Remote ID required (under the 250-gram weight limit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- End Key Features--\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection\u003e\n\u003c!-- Start Feature Insets --\u003e\n\u003c!-- Start Skill Level Row --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\u003cpicture\u003e\n\u003csource\u003e\n\u003csource\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"Skill Level 2 for the \u0026gt;E-flite UMX Gee Bee R-2 RC Airplane\" src=\"https:\/\/www.horizonhobby.com\/on\/demandware.static\/-\/Sites-horizon-master\/default\/PDPImages\/EFLU61500_PP_960x300.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/source\u003e\u003c\/picture\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkill Level 2 – Some Experience Required\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkill 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.
