Introduction
THE ULTIMATE CONSCENDO®
When the Conscendo® was first introduced it was tailored towards RC beginners who wanted to teach themselves how to fly with a powered glider. A few years later on an "Advanced" variation that offered more power for skyrocketing, sport flying and aerobatics became a favorite of numerous intermediate and experienced pilots alike. Now the E-flite® Conscendo Evolution 1.5m evolves the style to be the most powerful, capable and enjoyable to fly Conscendo yet! A more powerful and stiffer airframe molded from higher density EPO integrates with the more powerful THREE and FOUR suitable power system including a telemetry-capable ESC to deliver higher speeds and more aerobatic efficiency — while offering the very same smooth sport flying and skyrocketing abilities the Conscendo has always been known for.

Overview
EFFICIENCY FOR EVERY PILOT
This is the most powerful, capable, and enjoyable to fly Conscendo® yet! With the advantages of E-flite® engineering proficiency, the Conscendo Evolution 1.5m powered glider is now better geared up to deliver} higher speeds and even higher energy aerobatic efficiency — yet it's still as simple and enjoyable to sport fly and skyrocket as ever previously. With a 3S LiPo battery, the factory-installed brushless power system — including a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC, specially-tuned outrunner motor and folding prop — provides plenty of thrust for quick climbs to skyrocketing altitude, sport flying and aerobatics. Using a FOUR battery, it provides even more speed and thrust for endless vertical efficiency without the requirement for adjustments or upgrades. The new higher density EPO airframe has the extra strength and tightness to handle anything an intermediate to experienced pilot will wish to do with all that power, efficiency and complete 4-channel control. Yet the Conscendo Evolution is still simple to release, fly and land — specifically the BNF® Fundamental variation geared up with a Spektrum™ AR637TA receiver including exclusive AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations — which makes it the best option for a very first powered glider. Flight ready in less time than it takes to charge a battery, the Conscendo Evolution provides a vast array of pilots a unique flying experience that no other model can provide.

Flight Talk

 


 



More Capable

More Capable
Building and construction with higher density EPO leads to a more powerful and stiffer airframe with a smoother finish. Integrated with carbon and other composite reinforcement in the fuselage, wings and tails, the Conscendo® Evolution can handle higher speeds and higher energy aerobatics – yet is still light-weight to deliver exceptional skyrocketing and sport flying efficiency, plus long flight times up to 15-20+ minutes with a mix of power on and power off flying.
 

More Power

More Power
The factory-installed brushless power system features a 30-amp telemetry-capable ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and folding prop that deliver an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more speed and endless vertical efficiency with a FOUR battery without the requirement for any adjustments or upgrades.
 





Telemetry Capable

Telemetry Capable
The Conscendo® Evolution 1.5m is geared up with an ESC that can provide a variety of real-time power system associated telemetry data including motor RPM, present, battery voltage and more via suitable receivers (including the AR637TA set up in the BNF® Fundamental variation) and Spektrum™ AirWare™ geared up transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/G3 and 8 G2, the DX9, iX12, iX20 and others) while you fly.
 

Easy Assembly

Easy Assembly
No glue is required for final assembly. You can have the Conscendo® Evolution ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery. It's also simple to install and get rid of the two-piece wing and stabs for hassle-free storage and transportation.
 





SAFE technology

Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Benefit
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air rapidly and with the 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 set up 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 design is geared up with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver including AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to ravel the effects of wind and turbulence. The outcome is an increased sense of stability and accuracy that makes you feel like you're flying a much larger, skillfully tuned aircraft.

If this is your first design of its type, or you want an additional margin of safety while acquainting yourself with the plane, you can allow the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope defense technology built into the receiver. No programming is required. Merely change up the binding sequence as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select allowed, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope limits 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 helpful for keeping the wings level during takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Switch Project—No Complex Programming Required
The easy treatment for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select functions on and off does not need any intricate programming and takes just a few seconds.

If you don't wish to allow the SAFE Select functions, just bind the receiver normally and it will operate like a standard AS3X receiver.

Rated 5 stars Your hangar needs one of these !!!
By Jeff E on July 26, 2022   Verified Purchase

Awesome plane! Super easy to assemble and fly. I thought it was great on 3S then I flew it 4S - wow. I use a 2200 mAh 3s and an 1800 mAh 4S because they are the same weight and I don’t have to adjust the CG.
