Flite Test - E-Flite UMX GeeBee R2 - REVIEW

[@BaronVonRichtofen]

I tell all my students to remember this: The Wind is my Friend. Write it down! Great job with your videos guys. I look forward to every new installment of Flite Test. Keep up the good work!

[@jarrodhroberson]

The GeeBee and the Bugatti were my favorite plane designs as a child, they still hold up today!

[@mhannan6328]

The word you were looking for is "inclement". Good testimony to AS3X tech. Amazing demonstration of Josh Bixler's skills.

[@S1baar]

This is TopGear, of the R/C world!

[@emanuelmekhi2458]

pro tip : you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@vanmorgan855]

@Emanuel Mekhi definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :D

[@quadsman11]

Knowing that the words "stability, and the Gee Bee don't typically go together ! I am truly amazed that this LITTLE plane actually seems to be flying quite well ! AMAZING !

[@megadeth1763]

You guys are great, you are the best I like to see with flight reviews and always fun to watch ! Thank you for sharing so much with us out here. Keep on for many many more years ✈

[@waynefuller5280]

Josh&Josh,,,, Howard Hughes would have been PROUD of both of you. Love the videos keep up the Good work. I can't wait til spring to do some flying myself.

[@My767676]

I love the food joke,you guys are all right with me.I have been flying R/C since I was 5.I am 53.Also have taught many people to fly R/C.

[@nicholasoliver6970]

"And this guy is nothing but a severed head. It's a little bit creepy."

[@MrWest1960]

Well done guys! I love the laugh-tude I get from watching you two. DON'T change a thing! West

[@userTJ39780]

Flew it back to back with an MPD Commander. The Commander's size and weight helped it penetrate the wind. The tiny Gee Bee's AS3X made it almost that stable!

[@DARKSCOPE001]

Hey thanks for your shows. You guys are like the TopGear of the RC flight world. I look forward to watching your videos. Thanks

[@workonesabs]

Love this model so much, I have two of them. One is a hack one, and the other to keep pristine. Knife edges so well and looks so good. Pity they don't make it any more.

[@santatigerclaus]

now available with as3x and safe, and a 3600kv motor

[@zfotoguy71]

AS3X is awesome! have it on my P-40 (after swapping to a 4x prop) it performs quite well in wind also!

[@cedarvalleyrail8419]

I literally was considering buying this yesterday and I had no idea it had a flitetest video on it let alone an 8 YEAR ILD VIDEO

[@CrayonboxAviationAdventures]

Another nice job guys. And Josh B. you didn't make up a word but you meant... Incremental. Inclement is like bad weather.

[@abcarlson6319]

Wind is your friend... Good flying guys.

[@brianwebb1981]

wish you all would have mentioned the problems it has with the motor cutting out at 100%power or having to have the rudder 1mm to the left these are things alot of problems us geebee owners had but on the bright side eflite - horizon hobby have great costumer service and fixed it asap its still a great plane and i love mine still great video and flying yall my favorite you tube channel

[@DistantFilms]

The p51 is a good step up from the champ that's what i bought after the champ and i love it.

[@aguafria2009]

That was so funny when the plane went backwards and then it went forwards, then immediately flew off

[@userTJ39780]

Just got one! Flies like your mini Sportster!

[@dibrin1979]

Dude the fuzzy cap, most epic.

[@mramazing643]

Thank you flite test I just got into the hobby about four months ago thanks to you:-)I have a three channel sky cub, a sky surfer and a max thrust Ryan, my next will be a micro four channel to help me learn the controls a bit better, I still find it difficult to only make small adjustments, I am trying to get into FPV, ideas for first, affordable goggles etc?

[@MrFunneykid]

It also penetrates really really well.

[@ashgreenmga]

Great video series. Thanks.

[@causeimjamo]

@ DestructoXxShaunxX A spat is a cover that goes over the wheels.

[@thydusk666]

7:59 Imagine Josh being stopped by road patrol and him wearing that hat and a spliff lit in his mouth! I think he would getaway with a headlight ticket :))

[@stevetobe4494]

Delmar Benjamin has built and flown a full scale GeeBee replica.

[@craigschray4486]

I wish they'd make these again!

[@ehelibuff73]

I wish they would make this compatible with Futaba. I had the 1/4 scale Gee Bee R-2 with a 2.40 O.S. Super Gemini twin flat 4 cyl. 40cc. It flew 100+mph, had to land about 45mph. It was a bitch to land. Flew awesome in the air!

[@aesoft2009]

"You wouldn't dream of flying a little guy like this in 19 mph winds" 3 seconds later they're flying it.

[@jymmydkid5633]

Anyone know how to program safe into a DX-6 or DX-8? In the book it tells how to use the stock radio.

[@jodini5]

Nice review guys! Sucker looks fun! Joe

[@dmdocs]

Man I miss Josh (not bixler) he brang a lot of humor to the videos but he's doing something else he loves so that's good...watching in 2019

[@justakidfrommaine]

Keep em' coming. You guys are hilarious :)

[@wezpa]

U guys are awesome!

[@cheezeball43]

I have the p-51 and the beast, the p-51 is nothing like the beast The beast is alot faster, more maneuverable, and has a higher wing loading. Depending on your skill with the champ, I would probably recommend the p- 51. The beast is only good for 3d or pattern flying, but only if you have experience with that. the p-51 is calmer to fly and can fly hands off if trimmed right, the plane fly’s great all around and my only problem with it is that it has a lot of adverse yaw effect when rolling

[@misterhysterisk]

I love the geebee,it looks so cool

[@vintagegirl1961]

Is this the one at Hobby Bench?

[@ryanb915]

whats the controler set up you have. could you do a video on that.

[@rcaddict7894]

hey can you do a review on the imx as3xtra thanks

[@burntorangeak]

Boeing installed AS3X on the 737 MAX 8...

[@ryanb915]

relly that battery is so small compaered to the size of the housing what is the biggest you could put in

[@Boppalopigus]

Im drunk and needed to test if my sound was working. I searched for test. I was pleasantly surprised that my sound does indeed work and that there is a video of remote control planes with severed heads.

[@bloodhound122]

Wtg josh looking forward to a combat vid with you to ;)

[@ArguZ72]

This will be my first plane :) just ordered

[@ThatBingo]

Because their studs and can actually fly a plane! ;)

[@PatBALEX]

I know...Just having a little fun..

[@isaacklahm4516]

I'm a beginner in rc planes, and I got the champ in October and then for Xmas I got the carbon cub ss.... Was that a mistake?

[@dantheairsoftman97]

hell no they are great beginner planes

[@mramazing643]

Isaac Klahm, no a good step up

[@res1492]

what was a freaky looking yellow thing behind you in the shop?

[@billybobjims2]

how much is it?

[@brianwebb1981]

even tho it was the wind planes can go in reverse if they have a v-pitch prop a prop for a plane that has collective pitch doing whats being called 4d flying

[@antonmayorenko6736]

What Josh Scott needs is a flying lunchbox...

[@Killerhamster121]

hey, guys how are you ? couldn't you make a little clip, where you show us some basic aerobatic tricks?

[@CODXp3rt]

do you have to have a dx8 or dx6i to fly this gee bee r2??

[@DestructoXxShaunxX]

Wow nice vid guys

[@eddiebrooks7856]

thanks for the truth.... God Bless

[@lookeflite]

Love the Video

[@funnykid331]

whoops I didn't mean to dislike! Sorry guys you are the best!!!!

[@JingleBop]

when are you going to fly the hyper taxi in the background

[@rchelicoptermaniac5754]

Is any assembly required?

[@DestructoXxShaunxX]

Im still confused wat a spat is?

[@ghosttjr2]

No, just have to place the battery how you like the center of gravity.

[@johnkennedyk522]

I love that hat. lol keep up the good work.

[@sootydave1]

A lot of wind. May i suggest. GASEZ, works wonders lol

[@dave1135]

it does a good STOL on windy days.lol

[@SIXEIGHTTWO]

Love the hat!

[@gunslinger0069]

Poor Josh B, nobody told him he had a dead weasel on his head..... Guess it goes well with the severed head. :)

[@Andre-ww5sr]

Why age restricted?

[@duanebradley1324]

I think in the 168 episodes I've watched this is the first time I've seen JS without a hat/toque. Am I wrong?

[@chiwea123]

The r2 was the more aerodynamic one

[@ChrisPBacon1434]

Well look at the freaking thing, it's like a 5 inch wing and then just a big bulk of foam or plastic, about the size of a freaking head, and then the tail isnt even as big as a gocart scaled down. When I look at that thing and here that it flew I look at it amd my mind explodes, and I think to myself "oh a cool looking cgi model that should never actually exist".

[@SteveCrowe37]

They are called "Wheel Pants"

[@paraflightschool]

I SEE THAT YOU HAVE THE TAXI IN THE BACKGROUND

[@noahembleton9540]

did u know this video is age restricted

[@wingspan100]

FYI You said "Not many flying at all either", truth is, there was only one Gee Bee R2 built. Also perpetuating GEE BEE myths about a dangerous design. Truth is, the Gee Bee accidents, were unfortunate accidents, not poor design. Jimmy Doolittle to raced them and lived. Brush up on Gee Bee history.

[@TheRcflightreview]

Why not try to build a 4D plane that you put on throttle up using a heli blade setup in the center that only changes angle of attack while using reinforced foam board with a plastic or rubber nose. I would do this but I don't have the money. Last thing if you don't know how to make your videos longer just add some fun flights and be able to go on tv.

[@chopkinsss711]

PatBALEX - He didn't have it in reverse, fool. It was the wind pushing it backwards!

[@Eskmm1]

i want to buy this and mod a giant motor to it

[@platformthongking6353]

Eskmm1Mount a O.S. 90 engine on it!! That would be awesome!!!

[@hunter32195]

nice "Backyard"

[@calzaggii22]

wow really like u guys im subscribed

[@ErikOrjehag]

yay

[@PatBALEX]

HaHaHa..Josh when you put it on the ground you had it in reverse...LoL...

[@JumpingDonut]

I flew this on my simulator and its the fastest plane on the simulator, lol.

[@wilgarcia1]

lol I think it took off before it was going forward.

[@nishbrown]

Tiny severed head is better than no head.

[@alexgibb11]

fly the plane with the lunch on board :)

[@obRCmania]

19 mph wind is nothing. where i fly that is low wind. the craziest winds i have flown in is 50 mph gusts with my super cub. you barely move forward and it took off and landed like a helicopter.

[@leonardangelacciojr2561]

they are called wheel struts

[@buddybusker3483]

those are called fairings they cover the struts and and the bottom is called wheel pants!

[@Al-ud8qi]

buddy busker they are also called "spats," especially on airplanes (aeroplanes) of this vintage.

[@alexbold6089]

Y age restricted

[@crashstitches79]

Tiny wings. Giant motor. Takes off on 7 inches of runway. Glides. What is physics again?

[@causeimjamo]

Hahaahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahaa lolololol 2:30 so good. classic

[@googiefive]

wow... that needed a -1foot runway

[@furyxvanity2946]

Y AGE RESTRICTION ITS A PLANE WITH A ELECTRIC MOTOR AND IS REMOTE CONTROLLED WTF IS AGE RESTRICTED IN A FOAM BODY

[@nickc.8814]

AAAHH! I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE!

[@outabody381]

My dogs name is lucy goosie

[@obRCmania]

VTOL 4:50

[@7daniel49]

I think he meant bad weather...

[@MrLupold]

spats are better than pants

[@officialdelticdp1991]

WHY AGE RISTRICTION???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????/

[@ZEGHunterRowlette]

+Official Deltic DP1 what do you mean

[@billg7205]

When he learns how to spell "restriction", they'll allow him to have one.

[@jimmystewart8106]

I bought my UMX GeeBee at SEFF 2011 from Mac Hodges's Hobby Shop . I believe you guys were there. Wish I could make Flite Test East!!!

[@jimmystewart8106]

Were you at SEFF 2011.

[@quadsman11]

On this ? Why on Earth would there be an AGE RESTRICTION on something so innocent as the model aircraft hobby ? Something that kids should be more involved with, more exposed to ? Not sure why this is continuing to happen to simple, innocent subject matter ?
