The E-flite Super Decathlon 1.2m BNF Basic Electric Airplane brings one of the most respected full-scale aerobatic trainers into an accessible and highly capable RC platform. Designed for a wide range of pilots, it offers smooth, predictable handling for beginners while still delivering the performance needed for advanced aerobatics.
Built around a nearly symmetrical wing and a “friendly handling” airfoil, the Super Decathlon excels at both relaxed sport flying and precision aerobatics. It handles basic maneuvers with ease while remaining stable and predictable, making it ideal for pilots progressing beyond trainer models. When pushed harder, it responds with smooth inverted flight and outside maneuvers without the harsh tendencies found in many aerobatic aircraft. This versatility allows pilots to grow their skills without needing to upgrade airframes too quickly.
Equipped with a Spektrum AR631+ receiver, this model delivers cutting-edge flight assistance and telemetry capabilities. AS3X+ technology provides a locked-in feel by smoothing out the effects of wind and turbulence, while SAFE Select adds an extra layer of confidence with optional flight envelope protection. The included Smart Transmitter File simplifies setup for compatible transmitters, and the Avian Smart Lite ESC feeds real-time data like voltage and RPM directly to your controller. Together, these technologies create a smarter, more connected flying experience.
The Super Decathlon is engineered for ease of use without sacrificing scale detail. Tool-free wing assembly with quick-release struts makes transport and setup fast and hassle-free, while the top-mounted hatch allows quick battery changes between flights. Functional LED landing and navigation lights, along with wheel pants and wing struts, enhance the realism in the air and on the ground. Durable aluminum landing gear and improved metal-geared servos ensure reliable performance flight after flight.
