Bring general and military aviation history to your flying field with the E-Flite Beechcraft D18/RC-45J 1.5m RC Plane. Finished in a fully painted white and orange US Navy RC-45J navigation trainer trim scheme, this detailed twin-engine scale model features moulded panel lines, hatches, exhaust stacks, antennas, and a painted cockpit with a pilot figure. Composite-reinforced EPO construction provides a lightweight airframe that maintains crisp structural alignment during scale flight, while functional LED navigation lights, operational flaps, twin rudders, and a steerable tailwheel elevate trackside realism.
Equipped with factory-installed twin brushless motors and counter-rotating propellers, the aircraft operates on 3S LiPo packs for scale cruising or 4S LiPo batteries for unlimited vertical performance. The integrated Spektrum Avian Dual 40A Smart Lite ESC supplies real-time telemetry data to compatible transmitters alongside differential thrust for improved ground handling and tight taxiing control. An AR631+ 6-channel receiver provides DSMX control backed by AS3X+ wind correction and optional SAFE. Select pitch and bank envelope limits. Featuring electric retracts with durable metal components and a three-piece wing with hands-free servo connections, assembly requires no glue and gets you airborne quickly.
Already own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) aircraft make getting into the air quickly and with the best control experience possible easier than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos, and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed, so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, finish any final assembly, and fly!
This plane is equipped with exclusive Spektrum™ AS3X® and SAFE® Select technologies. AS3X works seamlessly to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, providing a locked-in feel that makes it seem like you're flying a much larger aeroplane. Optional-use SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits along with automatic self-levelling that can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch to make it easier to take off, fly, and land!
The factory-installed twin brushless power system features a Spektrum Avian Dual 40A Smart Lite ESC and tuned motors with counter-rotating propellers. Deliver strong thrust on a 3S LiPo battery or unlock extra speed and unlimited vertical performance on 4S without modifications. The spacious battery bay accepts 3200mAh to 5000mAh packs, or two 2200mAh batteries in parallel, for flexible flight times and performance.
The factory-assembled airframe comes packed with authentic scale touches, including moulded-in panel lines, hatches, antennas, exhaust stacks, and a detailed pilot figure. It arrives factory-finished in a fully painted white, orange, and black Navy RC-45J (SNB-5P) navigation and photo reconnaissance trainer trim scheme. Bright LED navigation lights, operational flaps, twin rudders, and a steerable tailwheel add functional realism to every flight. These working-scale features bring added authenticity and control to takeoffs, scale passes, and landings.
Constructed from lightweight, composite-reinforced EPO foam, the fully moulded airframe combines rugged durability with clean-scale looks. Factory-installed digital metal-geared servos provide crisp, precise control response across your entire speed range.
Factory-installed electric retracts feature durable metal components built to withstand repeated field landings. Take off and land with confidence across a variety of surfaces, including paved runways and smooth grass.
A unique three-piece wing design simplifies storage and transport, keeping the main retracts mounted to the centre section while hands-free connections handle electrical hookups automatically. A top-mounted hatch allows fast, hassle-free battery swaps between flights.
Final assembly requires zero glue, letting you complete the setup in minutes. Get your Beechcraft D18 1.5m ready for flight in less time than it takes to charge your battery pack.
