The World's Ag Aircraft
Established in 1978, Texas-based Air Tractor is a leading maker of aircraft developed for agricultural, firefighting and other utility applications. Air Tractor aircraft can be found hard at work over fields and forests in more than 30 nations around the globe. The AT-500 series of ag aircrafts first flew in the U.S. on April 25th, 1986. Ever since, it has actually grown into one of the world's most popular households of general air travel, single-turboprop driven aircraft utilized 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 uses an outstanding scale look you'll be proud to display everywhere you go. It's also equipped with practical features including LED navigation and landing lights, slotted flaps and large tires, plus it's capable yet easy to fly making it a perfect choice for your first — or next — scale or low-wing airplane.

Capable And Easy To Fly
Air Tractor ag and utility aircrafts have made a track record for friendly handling, incredible abilities and unrivaled flexibility. Those qualities carry over to this E-flite® Air Tractor 1.5m scale replica to make it an ideal scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. The specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop are matched to a 50-amp ESC to supply great scale and sport aerobatic flight efficiency with THREE 2200-3200mAh LiPo batteries, or you can install a FOUR battery for more power and unlimited vertical without the requirement for any adjustments or upgrades. Functional slotted flaps improve sluggish speed handling while also using Brief Remove and Landing (STOL) abilities. Robust landing equipment and wheels with large tires permit the Air Tractor to fly from paved, grass, dirt, gravel or other surface areas at any suitably-sized park or RC flying field. Include big ponds or ponds to your possible flying sites 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. The factory-applied paint and decal finish supplies outstanding presence together 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 wide variety of pilots will enjoy, even if it's your first scale or low-wing model.

Flight Talk

 






Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from these and lots of other surface areas that are difficult for most designs of this size to manage. The robust landing equipment is equipped with wheels and large tires that soak up the bumps of rough surface areas and supply outstanding prop clearance. The optional float set (EFL5261, sold individually) includes double water rudders for outstanding 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 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 unlimited vertical efficiency with a FOUR battery without the requirement for any adjustments or upgrades.
 







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core building and construction with EPO product provides a lightweight yet durable airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is equipped with durable and dependable metal-geared servos on all the primary 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 required for assembly, and due to the fact that the couple of parts that need to be assembled quickly bolt or snap into place, the Air Tractor can be all set 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 hassle-free as possible.
 



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







Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Benefit
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make entering the air quickly 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 need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, complete any final assembly, and fly!

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

If this is your first model of its type, or you desire an additional margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security innovation developed into the receiver. No shows is required. Simply change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select enabled, you get:

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

Automatic Self-Leveling
The airplane immediately goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It's also handy for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Change Task—No Programs Required
The basic procedure for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off does not require any shows and takes just a couple of seconds.

If you don't wish to enable the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver generally and it will function like a basic AS3X receiver.
