Overview
The E-flite Habu STS 70mm EDF is described as the easiest to fly RC jet ever made. Featuring exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology and Spektrum Smart components, it is the only jet new pilots can succeed with as their first RC plane — and is the perfect first EDF for any RC pilot.
Engineered for improved low speed handling and performance to make flying and landings easier, the Habu STS features Beginner, Intermediate and Experienced flight modes. The Ready-To-Fly version includes a Spektrum DXS 2.4GHz transmitter, 3S 4000mAh Smart LiPo battery, and S120 USB-C Smart charger — everything needed to fly. The durable EPO airframe assembles quickly without glue or special tools in less time than it takes to charge a battery. In Experienced Mode the jet is capable of loops, rolls, inverted flight and more.
Note
Please check your local council or flying club for laws regarding recreational flying before your first flight.
