MORE POWER AND EVEN EASIER TO FLY
The Gee Bee R2 is one of the most popular airplanes from the golden age of aviation. Now it's back with a more powerful engine and of course AS3X® and SAFE Select technology.
The UMX Gee Bee R2 is inspired by the most famous race plane in this series and gives the pilot more of a sense of flying a truly flyable sports model than a huge engine hanging off a pair of wings. The system eliminates the disadvantages of the teardrop design and gives the model an extremely precise handling that the Granville brothers, who designed the original model, could only dream of. With the AS3X system, an inherently unstable aircraft such as the UMX Gee Bee R2 can be flown with ease. Another notable advantage of the system is that no complex programming or Expou Dual rate settings are required. You don't even have to activate the compensations. The AS3X electronic system takes care of that.
The UMX Gee Bee R2 is equipped with a powerful 180 BL 3600 Kv external rotor brushless motor that guarantees optimal control, especially outdoors. With AS3X technology, the UMX Gee Bee R2 is a 4 channel aircraft that can fly even in strong winds. As it is a Bind N Fly model, all you need to do is pair it with a Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter, charge a battery and you're ready to take off!
Beginning pilots as well as those who want more safety in flight can use the optional SAFE Select system, which is built into the receiver as standard. To activate it, refer to the user's manual.
The SAFE Select feature allows you to:
Bank angle limits
These prevent the aircraft from going over on its back in flight. It also prevents excessive pitching or nose-down during takeoff and landing.
Automatic attitude hold
The flight attitude hold system returns the airplane to a flat position as soon as you let go of the control sticks. This feature is also very useful if you are hand launching your aircraft.
