Skill Level 2 aircraft, like this one, are suitable for RC pilots who already have some experience and the skills to assemble, set up, and fly similar class models. You should have the experience and skills necessary to successfully fly models like the E-flite T-28 Trojan 1.1m, Sportix 1.1m, Commander mPd 1.4m, or other similar class models before attempting to fly the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m BNF Basic version.
The BNF Basic version Gee Bee R-2 1.0m is equipped with a factory-installed Spektrum AR631+ receiver that features exclusive Spektrum AS3X+ and SAFE Select technologies. Enhanced AS3X+ works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to deliver 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! If you don't want to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver normally, and only AS3X+ will be active. The receiver is also loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that allows you to import all the settings for NX and iX series transmitters during the binding process so you can be flying in less time than ever before!
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!
This BNF aircraft is equipped with a receiver that is loaded with a Smart Transmitter File (STF) that makes programming your transmitter as easy as a few clicks of a button. When you bind your transmitter to an STF-equipped aircraft, all programming parameters download automatically from the receiver. Switch assignments, rates, expo, telemetry, and voice callouts configure themselves. No lengthy step-by-step instructions. No continual adjustments. Just push-button convenience that gets you flying faster.
The Gee Bee R-2 1.0m features an exclusive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC, which delivers real-time telemetry data directly to your transmitter. This advanced ESC monitors motor RPM, current, battery voltage, and more while you fly. The telemetry works with both Smart and non-Smart batteries through compatible receivers, such as the AR631+ and Spektrum AirWare equipped transmitters (including the DX6e, DX8e, DX6 G2/3, DX8 G2, DX9, NX6-20, iX12-20, and others).
The factory-installed Spektrum brushless outrunner motor is 4S compatible, delivering excellent performance worthy of the original racer, including top speeds upwards of 100 MPH in a dive. The convenient top-mounted and magnetically secured hatch makes it easy to install and remove popular 3200–5000mAh batteries.
Abundant scale details bring this Gee Bee replica to life, including moulded-in panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, a pilot figure, and more.
Composite materials reinforce the lightweight yet durable EPO airframe for added strength. The factory-installed digital and metal-geared servos deliver reliable and precise control at every speed to perform fast and aerobatic flying with confidence.
No glue or special tools are required for final assembly, so you can have the Gee Bee R-2 1.0m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery! Plus, its convenient size allows it to fit fully assembled in almost any vehicle for easy transport and storage.
