Plus, the motors are matched to a special 40-amp Spektrum™ Bird™ Double Smart ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry information with Smart and non-Smart batteries by means of compatible receivers (consisting of the AR8360T installed in the BNF® Basic variation) and Spektrum AirWare™ geared up transmitters. The BNF® Basic variation is geared up with an AR8360T receiver to provide full-range, real-time telemetry information, consisting of battery voltage, ESC temp, and more — plus differential thrust and motor reversing for special ground handling and other capabilities — together with the advantages of AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations. This 8-channel receiver, plus selectable-size ailerons and practical flaps that can take a trip both ways, also makes numerous wing configuration alternatives possible – consisting of "crow" and/or full-span aileron/flaperon/spoileron setups.
There are 8 factory-installed servos, consisting of metal-geared servos on all of the control surfaces plus the practical freight door so you can bring and drop innovative payloads from the big freight bay. Realistic-looking LED landing, navigation, and simulated strobe lights are powered from the flight battery so you can fly from dawn till sunset — from paved, grass, or dirt surfaces; off snow using the consisted of skis; or from big ponds and lakes using optional floats (sold independently). Eliminate the magnetically protected nose cone to set up a GoPro® or similar camera for tape-recording aerial HD video or install a different FPV camera on the big leading hatch (cameras/gear sold independently). Plus, you can use the consisted of decals to customize the now fully-painted gray surface with Ohio Air National Guard, Flying Force, Army, Coast Guard, Militaries, Navy, and other markings to customize your design! And the result is the most capable, versatile, and fun to fly twin yet for a wide variety of intermediate to skilled pilots thinking about scale-like, sport, and even aggressive 3D aerobatic flying.
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make getting into the air rapidly and with the best control experience possible simpler than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, end up any final assembly, and fly!
This EC-1500 Twin 1.5m is geared up with unique Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations. AS3X works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence to provide a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger plane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limitations together with automated self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch! And if you don't wish to allow the SAFE Select features, bind the receiver typically, and just AS3X will be active.
Both the PNP and BNF Basic variations are geared up with a special Spektrum™ Bird™ Double Smart Lite ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry information consisting of battery voltage, ESC temp, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – by means of compatible receivers (consisting of the AR8360T installed in the BNF® Basic variation) and Spektrum AirWare™ geared up transmitters (consisting of the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8, 10 and 20, iX12, iX14, iX20, and others) while you fly. Plus, reversing and differential thrust deal improved ground dealing with for simpler taxiing, departures and landings, together with the ability to carry out special aerobatic maneuvers.
The EC-1500's distinct, ground-breaking design makes it efficient in slow and scale-like flying, sport flying, and even aggressive 3D aerobatics — all in the same flight! And with various landing gear, freight carrying, camera mounting, and other alternatives, it's incredibly versatile, too.
The practical flaps can take a trip both ways, and you can select how big the flaps and ailerons are by setting up the consisted of joiners in one of 2 different ways. And since a different servo controls each surface, numerous wing configuration and mixing alternatives are available (depending upon the variety of channels of the receiver and transmitter you use), consisting of full-span ailerons that can provide considerably increased roll authority, flaperons, spoilerons, and even crow!
