Gee Bee aircraft competed in all the popular airplane races of the Golden Era of aviation. These highly-engineered, teardrop-shaped super planes required a skillful hand and perfect circumstances, but with the right pilot, they ruled the speed course.

The UMX™ Gee Bee® R2 model is yours to groove through the skies just about anywhere, because it features specially-tuned handling more in common with a Sunday sport model than a short-coupled engine with wings. The awe-inspiring UMX Gee Bee R2 replica offers handling so remarkably smooth, you’ll want to fly this authentically-scaled model every day. Its built-in, specially-tuned AS3X® System invisibly helps you enjoy the kind of silky handling and outstanding control you always wanted from a conveniently-sized RC model, but never thought possible before now. And you get all the benefits without having to spend a lot of setup time. No special programming is required. Just charge the included Li-Po battery, bind to a basic DSM2®/DSMX® airplane transmitter setup and the UMX Gee Bee R2 plane, enhanced with the AS3X System, will instantly offer you the best flight experience possible.
