Skill Level 2 – Some Experience Required
Skill 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. Although this is the easiest-to-fly Gee Bee model yet, it's not a suitable first RC aircraft for new pilots or a “next step after a trainer” model for low-time RC pilots. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly higher-performance ultra-micro models like the various UMX Timber models, or larger models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, the Commander mPd 1.4m, Timber 1.5m models, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the UMX Gee Bee R-2.
Exclusive Technologies
This UMX Gee Bee R-2 510mm features exclusive Spektrum AS3X and SAFE Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, delivering a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger airplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits, along with automatic self-leveling, that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch, making this the easiest to fly flat foamy model yet!
Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
Higher Performance
The factory-installed brushless power system features a much quieter 2S and 3S-compatible outrunner motor. This power system setup delivers similar performance to the original when flown with 2S 280–300mAh batteries (a suitable JST-RCY to JST-PH adapter, such as the SPMXCA327, may be required). Alternatively, it's significantly faster and delivers unlimited vertical performance when flown with 3S 300mAh batteries.
Telemetry Capable
The UMX Gee Bee is equipped with a control unit/flight controller that includes an ESC and Spektrum receiver that provides real-time flight battery voltage telemetry to compatible Spektrum AirWare-equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6 to 20, the iX12 to 20, and others) while you fly.
Scale Detail
Beyond the true-to-scale outline, flying wires attached to the wing and landing gear, a clear canopy, a pilot figure, and more are scale details that enhance the looks and flying experience of this unique model.
Durable Design
Construction with advanced EPS material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe with more surface detail, which is lighter and stiffer than EPO or EPP. It's also easily repairable with odorless/foam-safe CA, Foam 2 Foam, epoxy, and other foam-friendly adhesives. Or, if you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a complete line of replacement/spare parts is readily available.
Fully Assembled
The UMX Gee Bee arrives 100% factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box! It's equipped with industry-leading Spektrum 2.4GHz technology that binds to your 5+ channel DSMX/DSM2-equipped transmitter, allowing you to fly within minutes of opening the box.
