Overview

For nearly 75 years, the Pitts biplane has been the benchmark for aerobatic performance, and the E-flite Pitts S-1S is a tribute to that legendary design. This officially licensed replica combines an authentic appearance with incredible handling that any RC pilot can appreciate. The airframe is constructed from durable EPO material, which allows for a high level of realistic detail while maintaining a lightweight structure. The overall dimensions expertly capture the revolutionary Pitts outline, and while the tool-free wing assembly makes transport simple, the model is conveniently sized to fit in most vehicles without needing to be taken apart. This park flyer is designed to deliver a flight experience that is easy to enjoy, yet fully capable of advanced aerobatics.

Under the cowl, a potent, high-power brushless motor system provides this aerobat with virtually unlimited potential. When flying on a 3S LiPo battery, it delivers thrilling performance, and on a 4S battery, it is capable of ballistic vertical climbs and dizzying aerobatics without any modifications. The included Spektrum AR631 receiver features exclusive AS3X technology to smooth out the effects of wind and turbulence, along with optional-use SAFE Select flight envelope protection to give you confidence at the sticks. Whether you are an experienced aerobatic pilot or looking for your next challenge, this Pitts S-1S delivers an unequalled biplane experience.

    Easy to put together. Flys brilliant and doesn't mind being flown slow due to the bi wings. Even on 3s it flew fantastic. I'm just getting back I got he game and this is a fantastic little plane to help get my eye back In. 5 stars and will buy another one if I total this one. Customer service was great and fast postage. You can't beat that. Thanks guys
