Summary

Every WWII allied fighter ace got their start someplace. Chances are, many begun in a PT-17. Easy, tough and made by the thousands, both the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy used the biplane for its exceptional capability to assist new pilots make it through the fundamentals and master the art of flight, all in the shortest amount of time possible. The E-flite® PT-17 1.1m electric park flyer replicates the most iconic fitness instructor of WWII with elegant detail and the sort of efficiency that makes scale flying the method it must be—easy, fun and without compromise.

The E-flite PT-17 1.1m has whatever you could request in a classic biplane. Most importantly is the period-correct 7-cylinder dummy radial engine, complete with detailed ignition and exhaust information. The Navy-inspired trim plan is highlighted with wing rib and fuselage frame work accented with accessory and paneling detail. Shock-absorbing action of the aluminum struts include functional authenticity you’ll appreciate during goals and rolling over grass. While it’s simple to be overwhelmed by the scale intricacy, getting this charm in the air needs less effort than you may believe. Field assembly includes a quick-release wing installing system, which means no tools are needed. Even battery installation is easy through the large magnetic top hatch that accommodates a large range of 3S LiPo batteries. Unlike the decently equipped full-scale initial, a 15-size brushless outrunner motor provides sufficient thrust so you can carry out sport aerobatics or simply cruise the horizon with power to spare.

U.S. Navy Motivated Replica 
The vibrant yellow trim plan was inspired by the initial aircraft delivered to the U.S. Navy around 1942. Designated the N2S, it was identical to the PT-17 zipped the U.S. Army. Building with durable EPO product makes it possible to duplicate intricate detail in a lightweight form. The result is an impressive scale appearance that’s simple to preserve and permits the most gratifying flight experience possible to shine through.
Outstanding Realism 
From the box, you just need to fasten 6 screws. At the field, no tools are needed to install the one-piece wings designed with a quick-release system that makes biplane assembly very simple.

 AS3X Receiver with Optional SAFE Select Innovation
The design’s AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) receiver works behind the scenes to ravel the results of wind and turbulence. The result is a sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you’re flying an expertly tuned aircraft.

With SAFE Select includes enabled, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These keep the aircraft from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid extreme climb or dive angles during launch and landing.

Automatic Self-Leveling
Quickly returns the wings to level when the sticks are released.

Easy Change Assignment—No Programming Needed
The easy procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off does not need any programs and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you don’t wish to allow the SAFE Select functions, simply bind the receiver usually and it will work like a basic AS3X receiver.
