Gee Bee aircraft were iconic stars of aviation’s Golden Age, known for their advanced teardrop shapes, small wings, and demanding flight characteristics. With a skilled pilot, they dominated air racing, and the E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m brings this legend back as a highly detailed, modern RC replica. It assembles quickly, stores easily, and the Bind-N-Fly® Basic version includes enhanced AS3X+® stabilization and optional SAFE® Select assistance. Both versions come with digital metal-geared servos, a 70A Smart Lite ESC, and a 4S-compatible motor.

The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m captures the aircraft’s distinctive shape with molded panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, and a pilot figure. Functional features like shock-absorbing landing gear, a steerable tailwheel, and a one-piece wing with hands-free connections improve convenience and handling. Despite its reputation, this model offers surprisingly stable slow-speed performance while still reaching up to 100 mph in a dive and executing smooth aerobatics—ideal for intermediate to experienced pilots.

A Spektrum™ motor and Avian™ 70A Smart Lite ESC support 4S 3200–5000mAh batteries, while the BNF version adds the AR631+ receiver with advanced AS3X+ for unmatched control. Altogether, the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m delivers a uniquely exciting, scale-rich, and remarkably enjoyable flying experience.
