UMX GeeBee R2 'Clyde' 24th May 2024

A little buzz about with the UMX Gee Bee R2. Of all the least likely candidates to become an ultra micro RC model aircraft, this has to be the most 'out there' choices! It simply should not fly as well as it does, but it seems to perform magic whenever it takes to the air. Bravo HH for bringing this tiny tot into existence!

Nice flying. Little 'Clyde' scoots around quite well. And, once again your crash barrier grass performs just fine.

Thanks, JR! He's definitely a full-on buzz bomb/manic bumble bee type thing 😄

[@capnhardway]

Looks like fun!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

It really is... BIG fun in a tiny package 💪

The hardest part of flying this little guy is that I am laughing so hard that a red and white beer barrel can fly so well I can hardly concentrate on the flying part! What a great plane!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

I totally and utterly concur, Airplany Guy 😄😄😄😄😄😄

Clyde...what a perfect name for this sometimes unpredictable but fun lil stinker! Nice flying Gina!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Thanks Adam! (Again, sorry for the late reply, but YT is not giving me all my notifications )

Hi Gina,
Would you believe I've got this as well? A good flier as you've discovered. They are a little tricky to land as you will find out when you try and, and on the runway. I've found that sometimes the landing approach is good and it will land very well, but, in slightly windy conditions, although it handles a breeze ok, landing can be a bit problematical and can result in a nose over. Apart from that, like I'm seeing watching your video, it's a great little flier.
Lee.

Cheers, Lee! I just *had* to have one of these when I first saw it... it's a fat bumblebee 🐝

@@purcellrcaviationchannel It's sort of one isn't it!😁😁 The original full size was dangerous to fly and there is footage somewhere on UA-cam of a wing tearing off in flight with inevitable horror crash. The two replicas flying today in the US are much more safe to fly and have been flying for a few years now.

Hey Gina it's a different kind of plane I like the way it sounds lol😂looks really cool too. I'm looking for my next plane🎉 great stuff Gina never stop 🛑 the RC!

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Hi Cap'n! Yes... it's a sort of flying beer barrel with an attitude problem 😄 NSTRC!

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great flying need to get mine out and fly but it’s survived being one of my learning planes. Jeff in LA USA

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Thanks, Jeff! I'm glad to see you have a Gee Bee survivor, too.

[@A.M.-RC]

For an airplane that looks like it won't even fly, it flies pretty well! I think the pilot deserves some credit as well 😁

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Thanks, Alex ☺

[@DadsRCHangar]

I do like this planes shape, you flew great considering how small she is. And a nice plop in the safety of grass. 😊

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Thanks, Chris!

[@Bellairvideo]

Wiw Same or similar to Adams one ( Av8r) nice flying. Can it land & slow down on wet concrete?😅

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Thanks, Noel! 😄

[@8poundquark]

Clyde 😂. And that suggests you have Bonnie? 😊 GB-B? Nice flying the little pudge.

[@purcellrcaviationchannel]

Cheers, 8PQ! Hmmm... no 'Bonnie' as yet (I'll give that some thought) I enjoy seeing the improbable doing normal things.

@@purcellrcaviationchannel The GeeBee always reminds me of a potato with wings🥔. I like potato chips/crisps. A delicious flying snack 😋
