The Lockheed Martin SR-71 “Blackbird” is one of the most unique and renowned aircraft of all time. Established in the 1960s to fly faster and greater than all other planes and missiles of the time, the SR-71 holds world records for continual elevation (85,069 feet) and speed (2,193.2 mph/Mach 3.3). With the E-flite® SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF, you can own a replica that's scaled to be useful for more RC pilots to pay for and fly! It's compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh batteries and is equipped with unique Spektrum™ AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies to make it the simplest to fly Blackbird yet. Optional-use fixed landing equipment with a steerable nose wheel makes it simple to taxi, takeoff, and arrive at smooth surfaces, or you can leave the equipment off for more speed and vertical efficiency when flying over turf. Best of all, it shows up factory-finished and almost all set to fly right out of package to provide a genuine SR-71 flying experience you can't get anywhere else!
Air travel enthusiasts and RC pilots have dreamed of flying an SR-71 one day, and now the E-flite® SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF can make that dream a truth! It shows up primarily factory-assembled and all set to fly right out of package, consisting of a factory-installed control unit including a Spektrum™ receiver equipped with unique AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. It's all set to bind to your 5+ channel DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter, plus you'll receive real-time telemetry data, consisting of total battery voltage, present, and more with Smart and non-Smart batteries when utilizing suitable Spektrum radios including AirWare™ software. Twin 40mm fans and brushless outrunner motors are compatible with budget friendly and typical 4S 2200mAh 30+C batteries while delivering an excellent blend of efficiency and flight times. The fully-molded EPO airframe features panel lines and other scale surface area information, in addition to plastic-reinforced fuselage chines plus composite reinforcements in the nose and throughout to make it extremely durable while also keeping it lightweight. A rubber nose cone with pitot tube and the vertical fins – consisting of an additional set of optional-use red painted fins that provide enhanced visibility – snap into location for simple removal/replacement. The fixed landing equipment plus steerable nose wheel, including tires that reproduce the appearance of the unique aluminum-infused tires used on the full-scale aircraft, make it possible to taxi, takeoff, and arrive at smooth surfaces. You can also fly without the landing equipment installed for more speed and vertical efficiency while making use of the molded-in finger grips and automated Hand Introduce Assist Mode for simple hand introducing over and landings on turf. Either way, the E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm delivers a matchless flying experience you just can't get with any other RC model!
Ability Level 3 aircraft, like this one, appropriate for more knowledgeable RC pilots who already have the abilities to assemble, set up and fly comparable class designs. And although this is the simplest to fly SR-71 model yet, it's not an ideal first-ever RC aircraft for brand-new pilots or first-ever EDF (Electric Ducted Fan)/jet model for intermediate to knowledgeable RC pilots. You need to have the experience and abilities necessary to effectively fly high-performance EDF designs like the E-flite Habu SS (Super Sport) 50mm or 70mm, the Viper 70mm and/or bigger EDF designs before attempting to fly the SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF.
Are you brand-new to flying RC (Radio Controlled) aircraft? If you are, the SR-71 is not an ideal first-ever RC model and we advise learning to fly with among our purpose-built trainer aircraft such as the E-flite® Habu STS (Smart Fitness Instructor with SAFE) 70mm EDF. It's equipped with unique and ingenious SAFE technology that makes it possible for practically anyone to find out to fly effectively! The Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic variation includes practically everything required to fly (except for a suitable LiPo battery and charger that are sold independently) and is an ideal choice if you're a brand-new RC pilot!
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make entering into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of package with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you require to do is bind the receiver to a suitable transmitter, complete any last assembly, and fly!
This is the first SR-71 Blackbird model equipped with unique Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works behind the scenes to ravel the impacts of wind and turbulence to deliver a locked-in feel that makes it look like you're flying a much bigger plane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits in addition to automated self-leveling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make this a much easier to fly Blackbird.
The SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF is equipped with a control unit consisting of a receiver and ESCs that provide a range of real-time power system-related telemetry data consisting of total battery voltage, present draw, and more – when utilizing Smart and non-Smart batteries – to suitable Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (consisting of the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14, iX20 and others) while you fly.
The factory-installed brushless power systems include 40mm fans with high-RPM outrunner motors. This twin power system setup is developed to deliver an excellent blend of efficiency and flight time with popular 4S 2200mAh 30C+ batteries.
You can set up the included set landing equipment with a steerable nose wheel – including tires that reproduce the appearance of the unique aluminum-infused tires used on the full-scale aircraft – to taxi, take off and arrive at smooth surfaces. Or you can leave the landing equipment off for more speed and vertical efficiency plus simple hand launches over and landings on turf while making use of the molded-in finger grips and automated Hand Introduce Assist Mode.
The EPO airframe features molded-in panel lines and other scale surface area information, in addition to plastic-reinforced fuselage chines plus composite reinforcements in the nose and throughout, to make it extremely durable yet also lightweight. The result is an exceptional scale appearance that's simple to keep and delivers the best possible flying experience.
The SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF shows up almost 100% factory-assembled and all set to fly right out of package! The only assembly that's required is to snap the black vertical fins – or the extra set of red painted fins that provide enhanced visibility – into location. Then program and bind your 5+ channel Spektrum™ DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter to the factory-installed receiver and you can be flying within minutes of taking it out of package!
The factory-applied and fully-painted plus decal finish not just looks excellent but also reproduces the “Habu” markings of 17958, consisting of an optional-use decal for the nose.
