E-Flite 1029mm Habu 70mm EDF STS Twin Blade RTF RC Plane with SAFE Technology

Ever dreamt of piloting a jet? That dream is now within reach, even for a complete beginner! The E-flite® Habu STS (Smart Trainer with SAFE®) 70mm EDF rewrites the rules of RC flight. Forget the intimidating reputation of jets; this one is designed for success, right from the get-go. Based on the legendary Habu platform, E-flite engineers have worked their magic, optimising low-speed handling and adding the brilliance of Spektrum™ SAFE® technology.

With Beginner, Intermediate, and Experienced flight modes, the Habu STS grows with your skills. The wide-stance tricycle undercarriage, complete with a steerable nose wheel and oversized tyres, handles takeoffs and landings on everything from smooth pavement to grass and even dirt. Add the optional Landing Assist Sensor (LAS), and you've got automatic "flares" for landings so smooth, they'll make you feel like a seasoned pro. The durable EPO airframe goes together quicker than you can say "charge the battery" – no glue, no fuss.

This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes almost all of the required gear to get you in the air, except for a battery and a charger. Pick up a Spektrum powerstage bundle to save some money! Once you are up in the air, the installed brushless power system and servos. Also, the included Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter is a keeper, ready to control your future Bind-N-Fly® (BNF) models.

Once you've mastered the basics, flick the switch to Experienced Mode and unleash the Habu's inner aerobatic beast. Loops, rolls, inverted flight – it's all on the cards. Power it with a 3S or 4S LiPo for your perfect blend of flight time and blistering speed. The E-flite Habu STS: it's not just learning to fly; it's learning to fly a jet.

Ready-To-Fly Basic Flexibility

This Ready-To-Fly (RTF) Basic version includes a Spektrum™ DXS controller/transmitter equipped with industry-leading DSMX® 2.4GHz technology and everything else you need to fly except for a rechargeable lithium polymer battery and charger for the airplane. Just add your choice of compatible 11.1V or 14.8V LiPo battery and charger and you are ready to fly. 

Uniquely Optimised

Jets are typically faster and harder to fly than most of their prop-driven counterparts, which made it impossible for first-time, and even low-time, RC pilots to fly them – until now! The unique and optimised airframe design of the Habu STS improves low speed handling and slow speed performance to finally make it possible to learn to fly radio controlled (RC) airplanes successfully with a jet.

High Power

The factory-installed brushless power system features a 70-amp telemetry-capable ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and 10-blade 70mm fan that delivers an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more power and speed with a 4S battery without the need for any modifications or upgrades.

Durable Design

Construction with advanced EPO material delivers a lightweight yet durable airframe that's tough enough to handle everyday flying punishment without getting bent out of shape. And in the unfortunate event you damage any airframe parts or components and can't repair them, a full line of replacement parts is readily available.

Easy Assembly

The Habu STS 70mm EDF arrives mostly factory-assembled with the power system, servos plus the flight controller and receiver installed. All you need to do is finish some quick and easy final assembly, without the use of glue or special tools, and you'll be ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery!

Capable Landing Gear

The wide-stance tricycle landing gear with a steerable nose wheel and oversized tires offers improved ground handling for easier take offs and landings on a wide variety of surfaces from paved runways to grass and even dirt.
