Gee Bee aircraft were among the pioneering racing airplanes that captivated just about everyone during aviation's Golden Age. Their cutting-edge, teardrop-shaped designs, coupled with small wings, required a skillful hand to fly well, but with the right pilot, they dominated the racecourse.

It assembles quickly and is sized to be easily stored and transported without disassembly. The Bind-N-Fly® Basic version is equipped with enhanced AS3X+® technology that smooths out the effects of wind and turbulence like never before, plus optional-use SAFE® Select technology that makes it easier to fly.

Functional features include shock-absorbing landing gear and wheels specifically designed to make it easier to land, along with a steerable tailwheel.
