1:3.2 SCALE RC GEEBEE R2 RACER CARF MODELS - 250cc MOKI 5 CYL RADIAL - WESTON PARK - 2023

The Gee Bee R2 - No other airplane is more notorious, nor personifies the “Golden Age of Air Racing” like a Gee Bee racer! The mere mentioning of a Gee Bee conjures up nicknames like „killer bee“, „widow maker“ and „flying coffin“… Oh, really? While this Gee Bee is definitely not for the inexperienced, it is easier to fly than you might think.
The key to success is that, unlike many other Gee Bee models which have come and gone, the CARF Gee Bee R2 is a faithful scale reproduction of the full sized aircraft. Our Gee Bee even has the same air foil - and that is just one of the reasons why it flies so well.
It has a wide speed range with excellent slow flight characteristics and no bad habits. Like its full scale counterpart, you slow this one down too much and it simply drops its nose until sufficient flying speed is recovered.
You will love the endless knife edge passes and be excited by what Gee Bees do best - go fast and turn left, followed by dizzying victory rolls! Did you ever hear the whistling of the flying wires or the howling of a big round cowl of a Gee Bee roaring by? It’s enough to make your heart race and and your hands sweat! The CARF Gee Bee will take you back to those marvellous days of the Bendix and Thompson Trophy races. And one thing is guaranteed - your new CARF Gee Bee R2 will make you the star of the show wherever you show up !

Moki 250….32x18 prop. Pity that was the worst landing of the weekend! Sundays touch down found the smooth grass and was like cream 😋

[@tbobborap1]

Thanks for the info!

[@Blackstarr223]

Wonder what it would take to push it to a scale racing top-speed.

[@lancegrey1225]

I think it would have to be dropped back, maybe 1/4th.

[@Graff-Art]

I guess it exceeds the scale top speed.... It should do 135 km/h, and it looks way faster than that.

[@lancegrey1225]

@@Graff-Art I think so too. Lol.
Take care. Have a good day.
