Air Tractor airplane can be discovered hard at work over fields and forests in more than 30 countries worldwide. The AT-500 series of ag planes initially flew in the U.S. on April 25th, 1986. Ever since, it has actually become among the world's most popular families of basic air travel, single-turboprop driven airplane used for crop dusting, firefighting and other applications. Factory-finished in the familiar, high-visibility yellow and blue trim scheme with molded-in panel lines, rivets and more, the E-flite® Air Tractor 1.5m model offers a superb scale look you'll be proud to flaunt everywhere you go. It's also outfitted with practical functions consisting of LED navigation and landing lights, slotted flaps and large tires, plus it's capable yet easy to fly making it an ideal choice for your very first — or next — scale or low-wing airplane.

Capable And Easy To Fly
Air Tractor ag and energy planes have actually earned a track record for friendly handling, amazing abilities and unmatched versatility. Those qualities carry over to this E-flite® Air Tractor 1.5m scale reproduction to make it a best scale low-wing model for intermediate to knowledgeable RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop are matched to a 50-amp ESC to offer great scale and sport aerobatic flight performance with THREE 2200-3200mAh LiPo batteries, or you can install a 4S battery for more power and endless vertical without the need for any adjustments or upgrades. Practical slotted flaps enhance slow speed handling while also providing Brief Remove and Landing (STOL) abilities. Robust landing equipment and wheels with large tires allow the Air Tractor to fly from paved, grass, dirt, gravel or other surface areas at any suitably-sized park or RC flying field. Add big ponds or small lakes to your possible flying websites by installing optional drifts (EFL5261, offered independently) — or connect the optional scale-like skis (EFLA970, also offered independently) to take off from and arrive at snow. The factory-applied paint and decal surface provides exceptional exposure along with striking scale looks that are accentuated by LED navigation, strobe and landing lights. The E-flite® Air Tractor 1.5m provides a unique flying experience that a large range of pilots will enjoy, even if it's your very first scale or low-wing model.

Flight Talk

 






Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel courses, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and many other surface areas that are difficult for many models of this size to handle. The robust landing equipment is equipped with wheels and large tires that absorb the bumps of rough surface areas and offer exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (EFL5261, offered independently) includes dual water rudders for outstanding steering control when flying from lakes and ponds. And the optional, scale-like ski set (EFLA970, offered independently) makes it possible to fly from snow or damp grass.
 



High Power
The factory-installed brushless power system includes a 50-amp ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop that provide an abundance of thrust with a 3S 2200-3200mAh LiPo battery, or more power and endless vertical performance with a 4S battery without the need for any adjustments or upgrades.
 







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core building and construction with EPO material provides a light-weight yet durable airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is equipped with durable and trusted metal-geared servos on all the main control surface areas.
 



LED Lights
The Air Tractor features realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery.
 







Easy Assembly
No glue is needed for assembly, and because the couple of parts that need to be put together easily bolt or snap into location, the Air Tractor can be prepared to fly in less time than it takes to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing and stab also makes transport and storage as practical as possible.
 



Scale Trim Scheme
The factory-applied paint and decal surface offers exceptional exposure plus a scale look you'll be proud to flaunt everywhere you go.
 







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make getting into the air quickly and with the 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 need to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, complete any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic model is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver including AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the results of wind and turbulence. The outcome is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you seem like you're flying a much bigger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your very first model of its type, or you want an additional margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can make it possible for the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security technology developed into the receiver. No programs is needed. Just change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select made it possible for, you get:

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

Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft quickly returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It's also valuable for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Project—No Programming Required
The basic procedure for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off doesn't require any programs and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you do not wish to make it possible for the SAFE Select functions, simply bind the receiver typically and it will work like a standard AS3X receiver.
