Versatile Gear Options
Thick yard, gravel courses, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and many other surface areas that are impossible for the majority of designs of this size to deal with. The robust landing gear is geared up 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 wet yard.
 



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







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core building with EPO product provides a lightweight yet durable airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is geared up with durable and trustworthy metal-geared servos on all the primary control surface areas.
 



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







Easy Assembly
No glue is required for assembly, and due to the fact that the few parts that require to be put together quickly bolt or snap into place, the Air Tractor can be prepared to fly in less time than it requires to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing and stab also makes transportation and storage as practical as possible.
 



Scale Trim Scheme
The factory-applied paint and decal finish uses exceptional presence plus a scale look you'll be proud to display all over you go.
 







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Benefit
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make getting into the air rapidly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, end up any last assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic design is geared up with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X (Synthetic Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence. The outcome is an increased sense of stability and precision that makes you seem like you're flying a much bigger, expertly tuned aircraft.

If this is your first design of its type, or you want an extra margin of security while familiarizing yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security technology developed into the receiver. No programs is required. Just change up the binding series 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 prevent excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling
The aircraft immediately returns to and holds level flight when the sticks are released and in the center position. It's also practical for keeping the wings level throughout takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Assignment—No Programming Required
The easy procedure for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't require any programs and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you do not want to allow the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver typically and it will function like a standard AS3X receiver.
