ElectriFly Gee Bee Rx-R™

RECEIVER-READY RECREATION OF THE 1932 THOMPSON TROPHY WINNER!

Designed by the Grenville 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 4 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.
• One-piece wing attaches with one screw under the hatch for easy transport.
• Roomy interior makes battery pack changes easier and is accessible through a hatch that attaches with magnets.
• 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.
