Introduction
THE SUPREME CONSCENDO®
When the Conscendo® was first introduced it was tailored towards RC newcomers 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 ended up being a favorite of numerous intermediate and skilled pilots alike. Now the E-flite® Conscendo Advancement 1.5m progresses the design to be the most powerful, capable and fun to fly Conscendo yet! A stronger and stiffer airframe formed from greater density EPO combines with the more powerful THREE and 4S compatible power system including a telemetry-capable ESC to deliver greater speeds and more aerobatic performance — while providing the exact same smooth sport flying and skyrocketing abilities the Conscendo has always been understood for.

Overview
EFFICIENCY FOR EVERY PILOT
This is the most powerful, capable, and fun to fly Conscendo® yet! With the benefits of E-flite® engineering competence, the Conscendo Advancement 1.5m powered glider is now much better equipped to {provide} greater speeds and even greater energy aerobatic performance — yet it's still as simple and fun to sport fly and soar as ever before. With a THREE 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 reaches skyrocketing altitude, sport flying and aerobatics. Using a 4S battery, it provides much more speed and thrust for limitless vertical performance without the requirement for modifications or upgrades. The new greater density EPO airframe has the extra strength and tightness to manage anything an intermediate to skilled pilot will want to finish with all that power, performance and full 4-channel control. Yet the Conscendo Advancement is still simple to launch, fly and land — particularly the BNF® Fundamental variation equipped with a Spektrum™ AR637TA receiver including special AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select innovations — that makes it the best option for a first powered glider. Flight ready in less time than it requires to charge a battery, the Conscendo Advancement provides a wide variety of pilots a unique flying experience that no other model can provide.

More Capable

More Capable
Building with greater density EPO leads to a stronger and stiffer airframe with a smoother finish. Integrated with carbon and other composite reinforcement in the fuselage, wings and tails, the Conscendo® Advancement can manage greater speeds and greater energy aerobatics – yet is still light-weight to deliver exceptional skyrocketing and sport flying performance, plus long flight times approximately 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 THREE LiPo battery, or more speed and limitless vertical performance with a 4S battery without the requirement for any modifications or upgrades.
 





Telemetry Capable

Telemetry Capable
The Conscendo® Advancement 1.5m is equipped with an ESC that can provide a range of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more by means of compatible receivers (including the AR637TA installed in the BNF® Fundamental variation) and Spektrum™ AirWare™ equipped 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 needed for final assembly. You can have the Conscendo® Advancement ready to fly in less time than it requires to charge a battery. It's also simple to install and eliminate the two-piece wing and stabs for practical storage and transport.
 





SAFE technology

Bind-N-Fly Conclusion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make entering the air quickly and with the best control experience possible simpler 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 suitable transmitter, end up any final assembly, and fly!

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

If this is your first model of its type, or you desire an extra margin of security while acquainting yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope defense innovation built into the receiver. No programs is needed. Simply alter the binding series as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select allowed, you get:

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

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

Easy Switch Task—No Complex Programs Required
The simple treatment for assigning a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off doesn't need any complicated programs and takes just a few seconds.

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