Moss Gee Bee QED

In 2002, aircraft builder Jim Moss set out to recreate the Gee Bee QED. Starting with the basic original plans, Moss’ recreation incorporated several modifications including wider landing gear, lengthened wings, a 20% larger vertical fin, and the installation of a 1425 hp. Wright R-1820 engine which replaced the original 650 hp. P&W R-1690.

The construction of the QED II took place between 2002 and 2013 and encompassed in excess of 50,000 man hours to build.

The aircraft was advertised for sale at $499,000 in October 2021.
