Great Planes Gee Bee R-1 EP Tx-R Prime

Product details

Hardly any other racing aircraft has achieved the fame of the Gee Bee R1 from the 1930s. Its special, striking appearance gives this well-shaped aircraft a very special charm.
While the original was considered to be very treacherous and became famous even through accidents, this Gee Bee R1 model is amazingly good to fly for experienced pilots. The powerful brushless motor accelerates it very quickly, so that take-off is problem-free. In air, the Gee Bee R1 precisely follows the steering functions, making it a pleasure to fly this model low and fast on an imaginary racing course: just fly flat and let it float above the track. You will also be amazed at how slowly this racing plane can fly. Even the dreaded landing is manageable without problems. Thanks to its robust Aerocell construction, the Gee Bee R1 is able to cope with the odd not quite successful landing, usually without damage. Extended aerobatics is a paradise discipline of this successful replica.
