This
is an E-Flite Air Tractor 1.5m Bind-In-Fly Electric Airplane with AS3X and SAFE
Select, an easy to fly scale replica of the versatile crop duster that makes it
a great first scale or low-wing model. Founded in 1978, Texas-based Air Tractor
is a leading manufacturer of aircraft built for agricultural, firefighting and
other utility applications. Air Tractor aircraft can be found hard at work over
fields and forests in more than 30 countries around the world. The AT-500
series of ag airplanes first flew in the U.S. on April 25th, 1986. Since then,
it has grown into one of the world's most popular families of general aviation,
single-turboprop driven aircraft used for crop dusting, firefighting and other
applications.
Air
Tractor ag and utility airplanes have earned a reputation for friendly
handling, incredible capabilities and unmatched versatility. Those qualities
carry over to this E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m scale replica to make it a perfect
scale low-wing model for intermediate to experienced RC pilots. The
specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop are matched to a 50-amp ESC to provide
fantastic scale and sport aerobatic flight performance with 3S 2200-3200mAh
LiPo batteries, or you can install a 4S battery for more power and unlimited
vertical without the need for any modifications or upgrades. Functional slotted
flaps improve slow speed handling while also offering Short Take Off and
Landing (STOL) capabilities. Robust landing gear and wheels with over-sized
tires allow the Air Tractor to fly from paved, grass, dirt, gravel or other
surfaces at any suitably-sized park or RC flying field. Add large ponds or
small lakes to your possible flying sites by installing optional floats
(EFL5261, sold separately) - or attach the optional scale-like skis (EFLA970, also
sold separately) to take off from and land on snow. The factory-applied paint
and decal finish provides excellent visibility along with striking scale looks
that are accented by LED navigation, strobe and landing lights. The E-flite Air
Tractor 1.5m delivers a unique flying experience that a wide range of pilots
will enjoy, even if it's your first scale or low-wing model.
This
replica is factory-finished in a high-visibility yellow and blue trim scheme
with molded-in panel lines, rivets and other scale features. With these details
the E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m model offers a superb scale appearance to match
its performance.
