The Gee Bee Model Y Senior Sportster was one of the famous "Golden Age" racers created by
Granville Brothers Aircraft in the early 1930s. It was a low-wing, strut-and-wire-braced
monoplane with open cockpits. To a great extent, it was an enlarged, two-seat version of the
single-seat Sportster. Only two were ever built; both were unfortunately destroyed in accidents.
This radio-controlled almost-ready-to-fly (ARF) 27% sport-
scale model is based on the full-scale Gee Bee Model Y Senior
Sportster. It comes 99% preassembled by our factory, includes
a prepainted fiberglass cowl and wheel pants, and includes a
spring-loaded tail wheel to aid in ground handling.
We invite you to enjoy the pride of ownership and the joy of flying this beautiful ARF
sport-scale model aircraft.
