Welcome back to Jon's RC!
I have been looking for a used UMX Gee Bee R-2 for the longest time! But, despite the constant internet scouring, I could not find anybody selling their used model. When I looked at Horizon's product page for the UMX Gee Bee R-2, I noticed that they were still selling the replacement parts for it! So, I decided to build my own and use the electronics from my crashed UMX Carbon Cub plane I've had in my hangar for some years now.
Here is the link to the Replacement Parts page of the UMX Gee Bee R-2

I do love me a Gee Bee 😮😮😮

@JonsRC 6 месяцев назад

Lol! Thanks for helping out!

Nice build Jon. Doesn't look like it should fly but with your skills you'd be able to fly a plane built with popsicle sticks for wings and cardboard from a toilet roll for the fuselage. 😊

LOL! Thank you!

Another great video, Jon! Glad you finally got yourself a Gee Bee. I have one I purchased from a guy in my local RC club, and I think it's really cool.

@JonsRC 6 месяцев назад

Thank you! Love this little Gee Bee! She doesn’t look like she would fly well but I was pleasantly surprised!

Hey jon. Nice flying! Keep going

I managed to get one off ebay but haven't flown it yet. I think you could make the decals with waterslide decal paper if have an inkjet printer. Nice flying!

@JonsRC 6 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea on the decals! Thanks!

I hope E-Flite rereleases the Gee Bee. It is a fun little plane!

@JonsRC 6 месяцев назад

I agree!

I liked your idea so much that I bought the parts and built my own. BUT, I’m not sure which motor mount to use. Which did you use?

@JonsRC 3 месяца назад

Hi, that sounds awesome! The motor mount should be already attached to the fuselage, and it attaches with a single screw.

Does this take too much skill to fy as for a beginner plane?

@JonsRC 6 месяцев назад

Hi! This plane does take a bit of skill to get around. It is a little fast for its size, but in general it’s a bit tricky. Landings are difficult, and due to the way it is designed it has zero glide path which means it will literally just fall if you drop the throttle. I would recommend this more for the intermediate and advanced audience, but it is still a lovely plane!

Awesome Thanks :) which Ultra Micro would you recommend for starting at a 15x50 Meter backyard? Slow flying just seems so fun and like the right thing for the beginning. Also would it maybe be better to not have ailerons in the beginning to Focus on the basics? BTW, I love your slow and relaxed style of flying and presenting! @@JonsRC

Well I think I found the answer already. The Super Cub S 2 looks awesome! ;) Thanks
