FOR PRE ORDER ONLY - EXPECTED MID SEPTEMBERAviation enthusiasts and RC pilots have dreamed of flying an SR-71 someday, and now the E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF can make that dream a reality! It arrives mostly factory-assembled and ready to fly right out of the box, including a factory-installed control unit featuring a Spektrum receiver equipped with exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. It's ready to bind to your 5+ channel DSMX equipped transmitter, plus you'll receive real-time telemetry data, including overall battery voltage, current, and more with Smart and non-Smart batteries when using compatible Spektrum radios featuring AirWare software. Twin 40mm fans and brushless outrunner motors are compatible with affordable and common 4S 2200mAh 30+C batteries while delivering an excellent blend of performance and flight times. The fully-moulded EPO airframe features panel lines and other scale surface details, along with plastic-reinforced fuselage chines plus composite reinforcements in the nose and throughout to make it extremely durable while also keeping it lightweight. A rubber nose cone with pitot tube and the vertical fins - including an additional set of optional-use red painted fins that offer improved visibility - snap into place for easy removal/replacement. The fixed landing gear plus steerable nose wheel, featuring tires that replicate the look of the unique aluminium-infused tires used on the full-scale aircraft, make it possible to taxi, takeoff, and land on smooth surfaces. You can also fly without the landing gear installed for more speed and vertical performance while utilizing the moulded-in finger grips and automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode for easy hand launching over and landings on grass. Either way, the E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm delivers an incomparable flying experience you simply can't get with any other RC model!IN THE BOX(1) E-flite SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF with:(4) Spektrum Linear Servos(2) Spektrum Brushless Outrunner Motors(1) Spektrum Control Unit with (1) Receiver and (2) Brushless ESCs(1) Product Manual NEEDED TO COMPLETEFull-range 5+ channel Spektrum DSMX compatible transmitter4S 14.8V 2200mAh 30+C LiPo with EC3 or IC3 ConnectorCompatible LiPo chargerKey FeaturesAn officially-licensed* replica of the world's fastest and highest-flying manned aircraft that offers a flying experience unlike any other modelTwin 40mm fans and outrunner motors compatible with popular 4S 2200mAh 30+C batteriesEasier to fly with innovative and optional-use SAFE
