- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Our Gee Bee R2-models 1:2,3 and 1:2 are built by the help of original plans out of wooden construction.
The book "Gee Bee" by Delmar Benjamin and Steve Wolf - „A full color story of the construction and flying of the Gee Bee R-2 replica as told by builder Steve Wolf and pilot Delmar Benjamin“ was a big help, because of the detailed descriptions.
All pieces of GFK (fibre glass reinforced plastics), cowling, wheelspats etc. are produced by sophisticated handwork in our workshop.
Wingspread 3,80 m
Length 2,70 m
Engines: 400 - 800 ccm
Our models have extraordinary flight characteristics in common!

So many RC planes look like toys in the sky with impossible maneuvers. This beautiful ship flew like a real airplane. And what a sound!
Thank you!!😊
The sound of that motor! Nothing will ever sound as good as a radial! That is a beautiful model. GeeBee’s are the most beautiful planes ever built
Thank you very much for the compliment
75 years of age …tears came to my eyes when it took off ….bravo bravo
Thank you very much, that is a very nice compliment. I hope the tears dry soon. 😊😊
Fabulous taming of the beast. My gosh is that flying facility gorgeous or what!!!
Thank you!!😊
Ein wunderschönes Flugzeug, das dem Piloten auch so einiges abverlangt. Respekt!
Danke 😊
Donnerwetter und Wow !! Eine Gee Bee mit Dreipunktlandung, und das beim ersten Flug. Also ich hätte sie wahrscheinlich hingeschmissen bei dem Versuch, so zu landen. Ganz großer Respekt. Kann leider nur einen Daumen vergeben, sonst hätte ich 10 mal gedrückt.
Vielen Dank für das Kompliment! Dreipunktlandung bei einer Gee Bee in dieser Größe und Gewicht ist fast lebensnotwendig. An Hand von Videos aus den 30er Jahren sieht man ganz deutlich, dass das Spornrad zuerst aufsetzt. Sollte also "immer" gelingen😅
@@Daniela64364 Das mag sein, ich kenne keine alten Aufnahmen von Landungen. Aber der Nachbau der Gee Bee wurde vom Piloten Delmar Benjamin immer mit Radlandung aufgesetzt und so lange auf den Haupträdern gehalten, wie es ging. Dazu benutzte er die Bremsen, hielt die Replica sogar mit Motorleistung im Stand auf den Haupträdern. Vielleicht, weil er es konnte ? Ja bestimmt, aber er hat auch bei der ersten Landung mit der Replica eine Dreipunktlandung versucht und ist dabei so stark nach links abgekippt, das der Flügel den Boden berührt hat. Das Original hatte ein sehr flaches Profil und einen markanten Strömungsabriß. Deshalb mein Respekt vor Piloten, egal ob Modell oder echt, die dieses Monster in Dreipunktlage hinsetzen. Die Poliparkow Rata war übrigens noch böser, damit haben sich Piloten im Krieg ohne Feindeinwirkung unter die Erde geflogen. Ich schau gerne zu, aber drin sitzen möchte ich lieber nicht.
Gernau! 🙂@@wernerschulte6245
Damn that's the best sounding model I ever heard in my life@!!!!!!
Great plane and flying. Awesome!!!
You must be proud. I can't find the words to express myself.
Thank you for this compliment!
@@Daniela64364 You're welcome.
Your a great pilot with a unique wonderful plane that I can't find the words for. It's sound so realistic, just amazes me. Take care have a wonderful life and enjoy every minute, especially with the marvelous plane you have!!!😉
👍🏻👍🏻🖖🏻❤
Ein absoluter Traum von Modell!
Ja😊
Marvellous ! That is a beautiful model, and the best looking and sounding scale flying model in the air on RUclips. Delmar Benjamin always said that when he flew his GeeBee R 2 it was like riding a Canonball and he had to be seven moves ahead of it at all times. A superb maiden flight by an excellent Pilot, superb landing too, Congratulations cheers Paul
Thank you very much for this big compliment!
I was lucky enough to see Delmar fly his R2 at Oshkosh around 1997 great show!
A fantastic model of a crazy aircraft. Sweet engine sound and superb piloting 👍
Even aerobatics on the first flight!
Thank you for this compliment!
Respekt, perfekte Ausführung der Maschine, super Erstflug absolviert. Da kann man stolz sein.
Hallo Fritz, vielen Dank für das Kompliment. Ja, hat mich sehr gefreut, dass der Erstflug so gut funktioniert hat.
Dass war ganz ja schoen. Great job building and flying the GB, the "Flying Coke Bottle." I have driven by where the plane was built and flown in Springfield, MA, now a shopping center I believe. Ya did good, Mensch.
Thanks
Looks and sounds real! Great job!
Thanks
Wunderbares Modell, erstklassiger sound vom Motor, tolle Flugzeugbeherrschung, hervorragende Kameraführung und klasse Unterstützung vom Fabi ...! Daumen hoch!
Vielen Dank für das nette Kompliment. Werde es auch Fabi ausrichten😊
Hi from the UK. That RC plane is almost as big as my actual plane. It sounds awesome too. Superb video. Thanks for posting
Hello, thank you very much, I'm glad you like my machine. Only the size of your machine is not right :-))
Great what you are doing! Spitfire etc...........
i rememebr as a kid looking at pictures of aircraft from the past the Gee Bee Model R always stuck in my memory love it
😊👍
Beautiful model, engine sound and flight. One of my favorite planes. (Austin, Texas, USA)
Thank you 😊
I agree with others that consider this a work of art! Very well flown as well! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your compliment😊
What a commitment, to focus on this airframe and carry out the build to this level. You certainly chose a unique aircraft that would stick out in any collection. Congratulations!
The airplane and model are a favorite of mine. Agawam Massachusetts. Great build and flight. It must be a little difficult to watch it soaring in the sky and not be in it and feeling the controls. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. Cheers
Thank you for your compliment😊
Oberhammer, gratuliere von Herzen ! Was für ein Bauleistung und Vorführung ! Bin schwer Beeindruckt ! L.G. Martin🥰
Hallo Martin, vielen Dank für das Kompliment. Es freut mich sehr, dass dir unsere Gee Bee R2 gefällt. SG Wolfgang
Well done! that plane is a beauty and the sound is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your modeling and flying skills.
Thank you for this compliment!
Ive been involved with air racing for 25 years, this is a excellent example of the Gee Bee...WELL DONE.
Thanks
That’s amazing. Now the excitement begins in the fine tuning and setting up of the aircraft. But it’s unlike any other GeeBee I’ve seen fly, this one floats. Well done
Thank you for this compliment!
Very nice. I was really surprised on how slow it landed and how floaty it was.
Thanks
Beautiful. And that Moki sound! Wonderful combination.
Thank you very much
Wow awesome maiden flight plus what a great plane looks so good, 👍🏻😎😜
Thank you for this compliment!
Super geflogen , der Flieger ist nicht leicht zum fliegen, viel Gewicht wenig Flügelfläche, Bravissimo !!!
Vielen Dank!
Es ist ein wunderschönes Modell, fachmännisch geflogen und was für eine Landung! Gute Arbeit und vielen Dank fürs Teilen
Vielen Dank für das Kompliment und das Ihnen unser "Monster" gefällt😊
Thanks for sharing one of the top planes of aviation! Gee Bee's are boss!!!
Thanks
Delmar would be proud!
Thank you very much, that's a great compliment
Beautiful airplane and superb flying. Bravo!
Thanks
The Granville brothers who constructed the original full scale "Gee Bee" racers were close to my home in Massachusetts. This 1/2 scale replica is absolutely superb! And the piloting skills were outstanding, as these stub wing beasts were very difficult to handle!
Thank you for this compliment!
Fabulous build and a nicely controlled flight... Nerves of steel required to fly such a large aircraft... To say nothing about the amount of time spent and cost... So well done.
Thank you for this compliment
Looks like it was a great flight after you stopped shaking, beautiful work on the plane, geebee is one of my favorites and always will be. Now of to watch Rocketeer!
😊👍
Love the sound of that engine as it flies by. Great work!
Thank you
Well done. An excellent project! I bet the adrenaline went sky high too!
Thanks
Absolut schoenes Modell und der Motor sound ist fantastisch.
Vielen Dank! 🙂
Congratulations! What a work of art and engineering! Beautiful!
Thank you for this compliment!
Beautiful model and great piloting skills! Congratulations to you all!
Thank you for this compliment!
The 1930s golden era of Air Racing Crafts is my favorite decade. So many cool designs were built for only one thing - to win air competitions, trophies, and prize money!
Exactly, simply fascinating
That is so sexy sounding inbound! Thanks for the share.
I don't know exactly what they mean by inbound, but glad you like our video!! 😀
Beautiful, just...
...Beautiful.
Thank you!!😊
Sehr gut gemacht. Hätte nicht gedacht das die so schön langsam rein kommt.
Super gemacht😀👍🏻 und ein sehr schönes Modell🥰 Und beim Erstflug schon richtig der Gee Bee gegeben was sie mag 🤩🥳
Bravo Bravo 😀
Vielen Dank!
Beautiful plane and awesome flight! Gee Bee's are known to be a difficult plane to land, but you make it look easy. All the best for you and your family!
Thank you for this compliment😊
So beautiful! Sounds amazing! The landing almost made me cry!
Thanks!
Thank you for this compliment!🤣🤣
Ein tolles Modell und schon beim Erstflug alles gezeigt.
Respekt!!!
Vielen Dank!
Great engine sound!
Werter Wolfgang super Deine Landung,das schafft nicht jeder Gratulation !!!!!!!
Hallo Peter, vielen Dank für das Kompliment. Ist immer wieder eine Herausforderung, eine Gee Bee R 2 in dieser Größe zu landen. 😊
I ❤ that plane! Can you imagine a little pilot in the cockpit, era appropriate attire, leather helmet with little gomer goggles? Now imagine behind those goggles in the pilot's head are two hi res cameras for your FPV setup.
Regardless of the cost, I would have to have it. Easily attainable these days. Again, beautiful aircraft.❤
Yes, I will do it for you😉
Great flying for a maiden flight and that for a big Gee Bee! It looked to me it behaved quite gently 👌🏼
Thank you for your compliment😊
The sound of that engine is superb!
Beautiful aircraft and excellent piloting!
I kinda want to see it in El Chupacabra livery though 😂
Thank you for your compliment!
Landing is beautiful 👌👍
Thanks
ohh that is big !! So nice !!!!!
Thank you, glad you like the video
I love that sound. Nice job!
Thanks
Wunderbar! Super! Sehr gute landung
Vielen Dank!
Such a great build and flight. It looks and sounds like the real thing in the air. Glückwunsch!
I've seen the replica of the full-size Gee Bee R2 fly, and have spoken to Delmar Benjamin about what it's like to fly. It seemed to fly very well and under fine control, not skittish as if it were unstable or sloppy in any way.
Delmar, who was very nice and kind to me, said that it was not at all the handful that it was supposed to be as long as he kept airspeed where it need to be which was anything over 80 mph. The same can be said of any high performance aircraft. He also said that he liked flying it, was comfortable in it, and only had to be extra careful immediately after takeoff and on approach to landing. He said that it could snap roll in a flash if the nose was raised too quickly when at slower airspeeds (high Alpha).
He said that the R2 stalled without any serious problems (he never spun it) aside from the left wing dropping pretty quickly at the break from engine/prop torque if any power was on, and that it did not like flying slowly at all, understandable for a racing airplane.. However, I never saw it look like he was working particularly hard when he landed it, perfectly and gently on the mains every time.
Thank you very much for your congratulations and this very interesting story about your conversation with Benjamin Delmar. It is absolutely consistent with the details I know from various books. Nevertheless, it is extremely impressive for me when you can talk personally with such exceptional pilots as Delmar. Many greetings from Austria!
@@Daniela64364Natürlich sind Sie herzlich willkommen. Ich bin Amerikaner, aber beide Seiten meiner Familie sind Österreicher.
Viel Gesundheit und Glück, mein Landsmann.
@@Glicksman1 Das freut uns aber zu hören, dass Sie österreichische Wurzeln haben. Wir lieben aber auch Amerika! Ebenfalls viel Gesundheit und Glück für die Zukunft!
@@Daniela64364 Ja. Sie sind in der Tat sehr tief verwurzelt.
Danke schön. Wir freuen uns hier über Ihre Gefühle und guten Wünsche und senden diese an Sie zurück.
Great build.
Thank you very much, it is also fantastic to fly!🙂
Congratulations! Fantastic plane and piloting!!
Thank you for this compliment!
Ein echt schönes Modell 😊und ein göttlicher Sound 😍
Danke
That engine sounds amazing !!
Brilliant !!!!! . as a pilot i am a prop gal and jets really don't excite me and the Gee Bee has always been in the top 20 of my all time fav planes , when you think about the first 45 years of flight it just blows me away and then the jet age to me not that exciting
Thanks
I know, eh? Jets are sterile...
Cool. The Granvilles (and Delmar) would be proud.
Thank you for this compliment!
Beautiful aircraft!!!
Thanks
These RC pilots should become der Raumfahrer…awesome 😊
Thank you 😅
As a kid I always had a model of the Gee Bee
😊👍
Eindrucksvoll !!!!! Beautiful Model of the geebee !!
Thanks
nice R2 but next fligh pleas come close we can see from that far away it takes away for a beautifull airplane congratulation on the maiden look forward to seeing more.
Eine vergrößerte Wendell Hostetler GeeBeeR2, sehr schön😊
Nein, stimmt nicht: Ist ein Graupner-Bausatz aus den 60 iger Jahren🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ein super Modell👌👍
Danke
absolut krass, ein endgeiles Video
["...class..."]
Danke!!!!
Knaller, gratuliere.
Vielen Dank!!
Unglaublich toll!
Vielen Dank
Magnificent RC airplane.
Thanks!
The sound of it during the dive and fly by is awesome! To even hear the air rushing over the surface of the aeroplane!
Yes, the model is fantastic on the ground and in the air
Heck, you could put a kid in this one. Very nice.
Yes😊 Thanks
Gratulation!!!
Thanks!😊
I grew up In Springfield and could remember Montclair St. my Grandparents Street right next to the old airfield and Bee Gee plant and old J M fields I believe property that was a airfield where they had tested and built these racers. Well before I grew up but the local linage was left behind still when I was a kid! I loved the design for its time but to unstable from to much horsepower for its design.
This is a very nice and interesting remembrance for you! Best regards from Austria
Beautiful aircraft
Thank you very much😊
Okay son, the engine is now up to temperature.... Now hop in and I'll take you for a spin!
Guy did that with a 1/3 scale P51.
Doesn't the named "Scaled Composites" come from the planes they made at 6:10 scale? They found that they could get "good enough" aero characteristics at that scale and I'm sure they used pilots. Not sure if they still in that business, but that's where the name comes from.
Yes
😊
Wie alle andern bin ich begeistert 👍👍👍👍😎😂
Danke!
Prima ❤
Thank you!
Jimmy Doolittle rode the real thing and set a new airspeed record. Great job guys!
Thanks
Beautiful airplane... Well done :-)
Thank you!
First flight, magnificent. Sehr gut.
Danke!!
OH! Its RC!! I was wondering how the hell anyone would fit 8n the cockpit!
😂
What scale is that transmitter ? 2:10
I think it's closer to 2:1!🤣
Fabulous, congratulations!
Thank you😊
Must be holding your breath on the approach and she's not settling down. I know the feeling with my 35cc Gee Bee R2.
BRAVO!!
Thank you👍
What kind of transmitter is that? Thats a real nice club you guys got there. My field is near the ocean we always have a crazy cross wind to deal with
👍👍👍👍👍👍Einfach nur super.LG Stefan
Danke!
Hallo machst du auch einen Bausatz oder kann man so eine gee bee auch kaufe .LG Stefan
@@anjaw4166 Hallo, nein Bausätze gibt es bei uns nicht. Wir verkaufen diese Modelle startbereit, das heißt, das Einzige, was der Kunde noch tun muss, ist tanken und die Akkus laden. Wir fertigen die Gee Bee in 1:2,3 und die neue eben in 1:2. Unsere Gee Bees besitzen hervorragende Flugeigenschaften. Fliegbar OHNE Kreisel!! Flugerfahrung mit Großmodellen natürlich vorausgesetzt.
the germans really build some great models
Thank you, but I am from Austria😉
Greetings from Mexico.
Thanks
Gotta be the most difficult RC Scale model to fly. I saw a smaller scale model fly at a RC Air Show years ago. And the smaller, the more difficult it is to fly the damn thing! This one actually seems to be gliding better. Is it modified or perfect scale? Also saw videos of Delmar Benjamin flying the real non-RC, full-scale GeeBee R2
😊
Just perfect
Thank you very much🙂
Großartig!
Danke
👍👍 WOW that's gorgeous!
Thanks
