Overview

Air Tractor aircraft are renowned for their friendly handling, incredible capabilities, and unmatched versatility, and this E-flite Air Tractor 1.5m replica brings those qualities to the RC field. This model is an ideal choice for your first low-wing aircraft or your next detailed model. Factory-finished in a high-visibility yellow and blue trim scheme, it features a wealth of realistic details including moulded-in panel lines and rivets. It is also outfitted with functional features including factory-installed LED navigation and landing lights, operational slotted flaps for impressive short take-off and landing (STOL) performance, and oversized tyres to handle rougher fields with ease.

The power system is exceptionally versatile, featuring a specially-tuned brushless out-runner motor and 3-blade prop matched to a 50-amp ESC. This combination provides fantastic performance with a 3S 2200–3200mAh LiPo battery for sport and aerobatic flying, or you can install a 4S battery for more power and unlimited vertical performance without any modifications. The robust landing gear allows the Air Tractor to operate from paved runways, grass, dirt, or gravel. You can expand your flying sites to include water by installing the optional float set (EFL5261, sold separately), or take on winter flying with the optional skis (EFLA970, sold separately). Arriving as a Bind-N-Fly Basic model, it includes a pre-installed Spektrum AR637TA receiver with AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technology for an even smoother and more stable flight experience.

Note

Please refer to the instruction manual for safety precautions and operating instructions. Optional EDO-style floats (EFL5261) are available separately for flying from water.
