E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m BNF Basic – Iconic Scale Flying with AS3X+ and SAFE Select
Available at Aerobertics
Step into aviation history with the E-flite® Gee Bee R-2 1.0m, a faithful scale replica of one of the most iconic Golden Age racing airplanes. With its bold teardrop fuselage and compact wing design, the original Gee Bee R-2 demanded skill—but this RC model lets you enjoy its legendary performance with modern AS3X+® and SAFE® Select technologies for smoother, more controlled flights.
Perfectly sized for easy storage and transport, this model is quick to assemble and packed with scale details, including molded panel lines, a simulated radial engine, flying wires, a pilot figure, and steerable tailwheel. Functional landing gear with shock absorption ensures smoother landings, while the one-piece wing with hands-free connections simplifies setup and transport.
Precision and Power for Every Flight
Equipped with a Spektrum brushless outrunner motor and Avian™ 70A Smart Lite ESC, the Gee Bee R-2 delivers exhilarating speed and precision. Capable of fast, smooth flight up to 100 MPH in a dive and a wide range of aerobatics, it also provides stable slow-speed handling, making it accessible for intermediate and experienced pilots alike.
Four digital, metal-geared servos ensure reliable, precise control at all speeds, while the Spektrum AR631+ receiver with enhanced AS3X+ and optional SAFE Select technology provides a safety net, allowing pilots to push the envelope confidently.

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, 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.
Exclusive Technologies
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!
Smart Transmitter File
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.
Flexible Power
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.
