A A Lot More Capable Leader
A cooperation in between veteran RC aircraft designer David Payne and Aircraft Studio Style creator Mirco Pecorari, the initial Leader mPd® 1.4m blended traditional lines with modern-day influences for a one-of-a-kind sport flying experience. It's now upgraded and updated for more power and much better control, and to include the benefits of Smart technology — making it more capable and fun to fly than before! The new brushless power system includes a 45-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC plus a specially-tuned motor to provide an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more speed and unlimited vertical efficiency with a 4S battery. Control response, with more powerful, more precise metal-geared servos, is so smooth and predictable that anybody moving up from a trainer will feel comfortable right now. The BNF® Basic version consists of an AR631 receiver to provide real-time telemetry information along with AS3X® and SAFE® Select innovations. With these benefits and more, the Leader mPd 1.4m is the perfect next action, initially low wing, or everyday sport design for a wide range of pilots!

It's smooth and predictable, with power to spare for performing rolling circles, knife-edge flight, and beyond. While you fly, the special Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC can provide a range of real-time power system related telemetry information including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more – with Smart and non-Smart batteries – by means of suitable receivers (including the Bind-N-Fly® Basic version's AR631) and Spektrum AirWare™ geared up transmitters. The Bind-N-Fly® Basic version likewise offers the dealing with benefits of AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations.
