This multi-motor design brings echoes of full-scale civil and military freight transportation airplane however has an amazing variety of abilities and options no other plane can match. Including three and 4S compatible power systems with customized 5-blade counter-rotating props, the EC-1500's flight envelope includes whatever from slow and scale-like to sport flying and even aggressive 3D aerobatic abilities! You can fly from paved, turf and dirt surfaces; from snow with the included optional-use skis; or from water utilizing the optional float set (offered independently). It also includes factory-installed LED lights, a functional freight door, and a totally painted finish you can tailor with the included Ohio Air National Guard, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, and other markings. It's also been updated with Smart electronics to offer more abilities than ever before, including differential thrust, motor reversing, and real-time telemetry data!
This upgraded and updated E-flite® EC-1500 Twin 1.5m features a ground-up style enhanced for capability, adaptability, and FUN to provide a flying experience you simply can't get with any other plane! It's successfully many airplanes in one, with a wide flight envelope that includes slow and scale-like to sport flying and even aggressive 3D aerobatic capability. The twin power systems feature brushless outrunner motors with customized five-blade counter-rotating propellers – including upgraded style bolt-to-the-motor prop adapters for simpler and a lot more protected prop setup. This setup delivers excellent efficiency with a THREE 3200–6400mAh LiPo battery, or you can set up a 4S battery for the power to hover and endless vertical capability — without adjustments or upgrades! Plus, the motors are matched to a special 40-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Double Smart ESC that can offer a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data with Smart and non-Smart batteries via compatible receivers (including the AR8360T set up in the BNF® Standard version) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters. The BNF® Standard version is equipped with an AR8360T receiver to offer full-range, real-time telemetry data, including battery voltage, ESC temperature, and more — plus differential thrust and motor reversing for unique ground handling and other abilities — along with the benefits 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 multiple wing configuration options possible – including "crow" and/or full-span aileron/flaperon/spoileron setups.
There are eight factory-installed servos, including metal-geared servos on all of the control surfaces plus the practical freight door so you can bring and drop creative payloads from the large freight bay. Realistic-looking LED landing, navigation, and simulated strobe lights are powered from the flight battery so you can fly from dawn until dusk — from paved, turf, or dirt surfaces; off snow utilizing the included skis; or from large ponds and lakes utilizing optional floats (offered independently). Get rid of the magnetically secured nose cone to set up a GoPro® or similar camera for tape-recording aerial HD footage or install a separate FPV camera on the large leading hatch (cameras/gear offered independently). Plus, you can utilize the included decals to tailor the now fully-painted gray finish with Ohio Air National Guard, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, Navy, and other markings to personalize your design! And the outcome is the most capable, flexible, and enjoyable to fly twin yet for a wide variety of intermediate to experienced 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 quickly and with the very best control experience possible simpler than ever. They come out of package with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver set up, so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This EC-1500 Twin 1.5m is equipped with special 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 appear like you're flying a much bigger plane. Optional-use SAFE Select provides pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-leveling that can be switched on and off at the flip of a switch! And if you don't wish to enable the SAFE Select features, bind the receiver usually, and only AS3X will be active.
Both the PNP and BNF Standard variations are equipped with a special Spektrum™ Avian™ Double Smart Lite ESC that can offer a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including battery voltage, ESC temperature, and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – via compatible receivers (including the AR8360T set up in the BNF® Standard version) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including 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 offer enhanced ground handling for simpler taxiing, launches and landings, along with the capability to perform unique aerobatic maneuvers.
The EC-1500's unique, ground-breaking style makes it capable of slow and scale-like flying, sport flying, and even aggressive 3D aerobatics — all in the very same flight! And with various landing equipment, freight carrying, camera installing, and other options, it's incredibly flexible, too.
The practical flaps can take a trip both ways, and you can pick how large the flaps and ailerons are by installing the included joiners in one of 2 various ways. And since a separate servo controls each surface, multiple wing configuration and mixing options are readily available (depending upon the number of channels of the receiver and transmitter you utilize), including full-span ailerons that can provide significantly increased roll authority, flaperons, spoilerons, and even crow!
The factory-installed twin brushless power system features a 40-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Double Smart Lite ESC plus specially-tuned motors that provide an abundance of thrust with a THREE 3200–6400mAh LiPo battery. Or you can set up a 4S battery for lots of power to hover and endless vertical capability without requiring any adjustments or upgrades!
