RCTV - Gee Bee R3 30" 6mm Depron Kit
RCTV - Gee Bee R3 30" 6mm Depron Kit
The iconic looks of the Gee Bee line of planes are timeless. R1, R2 or the R3. RCTV's 30" Gee Bee Foam Fantasy is based on the sleek R3 model. Indoors and out this one is fun to zip around! Gee Bee's all have a unique look to them no matter what the medium.
RCTV's 30" Fun Racer series is designed for the front yard, the park, the flying field, even indoors these will tear up the skies wherever you want to fly. While you can race them with friends and club members, they also serve as good trainer beginner planes and are more docile compared to our 32/34" aerobatic designs.
Our kits are precision laser cut and include a tailored hardware kit that makes assembly a breeze. Guessing on where the carbon reinforcements go are things of the past thanks to the pre-determined trussing locations and pre-cut carbon extrusions.
All 6mm kits also come with their hinges pre-beveled and taped with 3M's 1" wide Blenderm, so no more hassle when it comes to cutting hinge-lines. Making your time to gluing and rigging up the airframe that much quicker.

When it comes to designing foamies we want to bring aesthetically pleasing, accurate looking profiles to the table without compromising on flight characteristics and performance. The Gee Bee R3 has always been a favorite of ours. Sleek, modern, a little longer tail moment the R3 is an eye catcher. This particular model flies pretty neutral and on 3s with a smaller prop absolutely rips. The landing gear has a cutout in them for looks, but also makes a cool whirring sound when flying by. A unique characteristic on this foamie version is how well it tracks in flat rudder turns, almost feels and looks like a U-Control plane! This kit also comes with wheels for the landing gear.
