New Gee Bee Anyone Can Fly
Nearly everyone loves a Gee Bee, hard as they are to fly, but that is no longer a concern with the new version of Horizon Hobby's UMX Gee Bee R2. This new version has more power and more tech inside to make it easy for nearly any pilot to fly.
That's right, it's now easier for you to fly a Gee Bee with AS3X and SAFE systems keeping the plane stable and smooth in the air. The scale details look great for such a tiny model and the included brushless power system provides more speed than the older model.
These are on sale for pre-order right now with expected delivery dates set for Mid June. You can pick up the BNF for $129.

- Length: 13.9 in (352mm)
- Flying Weight: 3.7oz (105g)

Hasn't this been around for a few years? - or maybe that was a 1S brushed version.

this is such an eye catching plane and fun to fly - beautiful in flight and sporty but also delicate - the wing struts are functional, keep them securely glued at the wheel pants or you might fold the wings mid loop - ask me how I know ;-)
the best thing about these re-releases is that I wont hold back anymore when I take it out since parts will be available again |

Yes, very functional struts. I did the same thing with my geebee. That is the weak spot on these the main wing...

Meanwhile, as evidenced in here many times, someone in the States can pound their plane into the dirt on its maidan, grizzle to HH and get sent a brand new one free of charge. |

WOW ! Hi Jason, so there's a newer version of this neat little bird. Well I still have the original one and still flying it around. I had Pete "mtflyr" do a totally repaint job and he knocked it out of the park look. Details are great.
 I may need to get the new one

This the coolest little airplane. I've never been interested in the UMX planes, but this one is the exception for sure. I'm a Gee Bee fan through and through, and seeing this rerelease is like Christmas all over again
