ElectriFly Gee Bee Rx-R™
Designed by the Granville Brothers, the original Gee Bee’s shape was intended to accommodate the Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine—the largest and most powerful engine of its day. With Jimmy Doolittle in the cockpit, the Gee Bee won the prestigious 1932 Thompson Trophy race and set a world landplane speed record of 476 km/h (296 mph) in the Shell Speed Dash. ElectriFly has recreated this unique design using foam construction, with a brushless electric power system and four micro servos already in place. It’s ready for simple, fast, no-glue assembly—getting pilots to the field within minutes of radio and battery installation! Preinstalled brushless motor, ESC and servos have been selected as the ideal electronics for this exciting model. The one-piece wing attaches with one screw under the hatch for easy transport. A roomy interior makes battery pack
changes easier and is accessible through a hatch that attaches with magnets. The AeroCell™ foam fuse is tough enough to take abuse, yet light enough for
exciting electric flight—and has details like panel lines and vents molded-in (easy-to- install “flying wire” elastic cord is also included for added scale realism). Wheel pants attach magnetically and “break away” without damage in the event of
a hard landing.
