Description

The Beechcraft D18 "Twin Beech" proved so adaptable that Beechcraft Aircraft Corporation eventually produced 32 versions — and more than 9,000 total aircraft — from 1937 to 1969, serving in roles from passenger transport to mail carrier and even as a military trainer for navigators and bombardiers. The E-flite Beechcraft D18 1.5m is the most convenient, well-equipped, and easiest-to-fly scale model of this unique general aviation aircraft yet. Its fully-moulded EPO airframe is finished with a classic trim scheme and is outfitted with numerous scale details. Functional features such as LED navigation lights, retractable landing gear, and flaps further increase its realism. The 3S and 4S compatible power system includes an exclusive Spektrum Avian Dual Smart ESC, and the BNF Basic version is also equipped with an AR631 receiver to deliver real-time telemetry data along with AS3X and SAFE Select technologies.
