E-flite UMX Gee Bee R2 BNF - Manual (Page 3)

3
EN
Gee Bees competed in all the popular airplane races of the Golden Era of aviation. These highly engineered,
tear-shaped, super planes required a skillful hand and perfect circumstances, but with the right pilot,
they ruled the speed course. The UMX
™ Gee Bee ® R2 BNF is yours to groove through the skies just
about anywhere and deliver the kind of handling more in common with a Sunday sport-model than a
short-coupled engine with wings. Not only is the tear-shape racer faithfully mastered, its AS3X
™ system
enhancement assures that this distinctive replica delivers the kind of ultra smooth handling and rock solid
control the Granville brothers surely only dreamed of having. You get all of the performance possible from
the UMX
™ Gee Bee ® R2 BNF with only basic radio programming. And even though your new model is fully
assembled, please read and follow this manual completely to be sure you’re ready to take full advantage of
what this awesome RC aircraft has to offer.
