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.
