Introduction
THE ULTIMATE CONSCENDO®
When the Conscendo® was very first presented it was tailored towards RC newbies who wished to teach themselves how to fly with a powered glider. A few years later on an "Advanced" version that used more power for soaring, sport flying and aerobatics became a favorite of numerous intermediate and skilled pilots alike. Now the E-flite® Conscendo Advancement 1.5m progresses the style to be the most powerful, capable and enjoyable to fly Conscendo yet! A more powerful and stiffer airframe formed from higher density EPO integrates with the more powerful THREE and FOUR compatible power system including a telemetry-capable ESC to provide higher speeds and more aerobatic performance — while using the same smooth sport flying and soaring abilities the Conscendo has always been understood for.

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.
