Flight Talk

 






Versatile Gear Options
Thick lawn, gravel courses, dirt tracks; you can fly from these and numerous other surface areas that are difficult for most designs of this size to handle. The robust landing gear is geared up with wheels and extra-large tires that soak up the bumps of rough surface areas and offer exceptional prop clearance. The optional float set (EFL5261, sold separately) features double water rudders for outstanding steering control when flying from lakes and ponds. And the optional, scale-like ski set (EFLA970, sold separately) makes it possible to fly from snow or wet lawn.
 



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 3S 2200-3200mAh LiPo battery, or more power and limitless vertical efficiency with a FOUR battery without the requirement for any adjustments or upgrades.
 







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core building with EPO material delivers a light-weight yet resilient airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is geared up with resilient and reliable 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 needed for assembly, and because the few parts that require to be put together easily bolt or snap into place, 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 transportation and storage as convenient as possible.
 



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







Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make entering the air rapidly 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 require to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!

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

If this is your very first model of its type, or you desire an additional margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the plane, you can make it possible for the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security innovation developed into the receiver. No programming is needed. Simply alter the binding series as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select made it possible for, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope restricts keep the plane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid excessive climb or dive angles.

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

Easy Switch Assignment—No Shows Required
The easy treatment for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off does not require any programming and takes just a couple of seconds.

If you do not wish to make it possible for the SAFE Select features, just bind the receiver usually and it will operate like a standard AS3X receiver.
