GIANT SCALE GEE BEE R-2 1/2 SCALE! WIPE-OUT!!

Yooowee Gee Bee lovers--here's a 1/2 scale R-2 that's bound to get you going! Too bad it was lost on the second flight--still can't figure what went wrong--perhaps the elevator servo--takes a lot to push a 10 ft. wingspan Gee Bee that weighs 121 lbs. around. Especially when it's being powered by a limbach 280-gear drive hanging on the nose!

tat's too bad. That's an awesome bird.

When was the vid shot... judging from what people are wearing I'm guessing late 80's

The 5 videos I posted of the GIANT unlimited scale aircraft happen to be recorded in La Ferte France in 2003 at the annual rc expo. Thanks for watching--Ithink the "BIG" ones are fantastic!

ALL r/c planes have an expiration date, we just don't know when it is!

[GerbilEssences]

Flies very quick, glides like a brick!

I never knew Ric Flair flew rc airplanes

[71spaceman]

Without the help of the commentator I would have been lost watching this!!

Boy-ain't that the truth! Every time I put 20-30 flights on a great flying rc plane I feel like it's indestructable, and I would never have a mishap-then , suddenly that "date" comes up-like an expired library book, and I'm off to the hobby shop to start all over again! BUILD-FLY-CRASH-REPEAT! That's my motto! Thanks tazztt1.

Dude, put on a shirt!!

[XBoeingCapt]

Let that be a lesson to all of you!  Wear clothing when flying a Gee Bee ! What a maroon.

Great model. To be fair, the real racer was notoriously difficult to fly.

@billville111 sure does!! the rc gee bee's are just as "safe" as the real ones.
