Capable And Easy To Fly
Air Tractor ag and utility planes have made a reputation for friendly handling, incredible capabilities and unequaled adaptability. Those qualities rollover to this E-flite® Air Tractor 1.5m scale replica to make it an ideal scale low-wing design for intermediate to skilled RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop are matched to a 50-amp ESC to provide 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 modifications or upgrades. Practical slotted flaps improve slow speed managing while also offering Brief Take Off and Landing (STOL) capabilities. Robust landing gear and wheels with large tires permit the Air Tractor to fly from paved, turf, dirt, gravel or other surface areas at any suitably-sized park or RC flying field. Include large ponds or small lakes to your possible flying websites by installing optional drifts (EFL5261, sold individually) — or attach the optional scale-like skis (EFLA970, also sold individually) to take off from and arrive on snow.

Flight Talk

 






Versatile Gear Options
Thick turf, gravel courses, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and many other surface areas that are impossible for a lot of models of this size to deal with. The robust landing gear is equipped with wheels and large tires that soak up the bumps of rough surface areas and provide exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (EFL5261, sold individually) features double water rudders for excellent steering control when flying from lakes and ponds. And the optional, scale-like ski set (EFLA970, sold individually) makes it possible to fly from snow or wet turf.
 



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







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core construction with EPO product delivers a lightweight yet resilient airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is equipped with resilient and trustworthy metal-geared servos on all the main 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 assembled quickly bolt or snap into location, the Air Tractor can be all set to fly in less time than it requires to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing and stab also makes transport and storage as hassle-free as possible.
 



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







Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make entering into the air rapidly and with the very best control experience possible much 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 final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic design is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver featuring AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) innovation that works behind the scenes to ravel the impacts of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much bigger, skillfully tuned aircraft.

If this is your very first design of its type, or you desire an extra margin of security while acquainting yourself with the aircraft, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope defense innovation constructed into the receiver. No programs is required. Just alter the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select enabled, 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 immediately goes back 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 Task—No Programming Required
The basic treatment for designating a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off does not require any programs and takes just a few seconds.

If you do not wish to allow the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver normally and it will work like a basic AS3X receiver.
