The Gee Bee R-2 — The Deadliest Racing Plane Ever Built? (E-flite 1.0m)

The brand-new E-flite Gee Bee R2 1.0m has officially arrived, and after putting it together and taking it out for its first flights, I can honestly say this might be one of the greatest RC airplanes E-flite has ever released. The assembly is straightforward and beginner-friendly, and once it’s in the air, the Gee Bee R2 shows off exactly why this design is so iconic. It flies with confidence, power, and a personality all its own. E-flite captured the classic racer feel perfectly while still giving it that modern stability and precision they’re known for.

In this video, I unbox the new Gee Bee R2, walk through the simple build, set it up for the maiden, and take it flying. The overall experience from bench to sky is incredibly smooth, and the flight performance honestly surprised me in the best way. If you're into scale models, classic air racers, or just want a fun new E-flite release with real presence in the air, this is one you’re going to want in your hangar.

The E-flite Gee Bee R2 1.0m is without a doubt one of the most impressive new RC planes of 2025, and I can’t wait to show what this thing can do, especially FPV!
