Make the dream of flying the legendary SR-71 Blackbird a reality with this unique E-flite model. Arriving mostly factory-assembled, this replica makes it possible for more RC pilots than ever to experience the thrill of this iconic aircraft. Its twin 40mm electric ducted fans and brushless motors are compatible with common 4S 2200mAh batteries, delivering an excellent blend of performance and flight time.
This model is remarkably easy to fly thanks to the factory-installed control unit, which includes a Spektrum receiver featuring exclusive AS3X and optional-use SAFE Select technologies. It also provides real-time telemetry data like battery voltage to compatible transmitters. You can operate from smooth surfaces using the fixed landing gear with its steerable nose wheel and replica tyres. For more speed and vertical performance, the gear can be removed for easy hand launching – aided by moulded finger grips and an automatic Hand Launch Assist Mode – and landings on grass.
The durable, composite-reinforced EPO airframe features moulded panel lines and other scale details, plus an optional set of red-painted vertical fins for improved visibility. This UMX SR-71 delivers an incomparable flying experience.
The SR-71 Blackbird is propelled by factory-installed brushless power systems, featuring 40mm fans with high-RPM outrunner motors. This twin power system is precisely engineered to deliver an exceptional blend of performance and flight time when paired with popular 4S 2200mAh 30C+ batteries, ensuring exhilarating speeds and agile flight dynamics.
Choose how you fly with the SR-71 Blackbird's adaptable gear. Install the tool-free fixed landing gear, featuring a steerable nose wheel and realistic-looking tyres, for operations from smooth surfaces. Alternatively, remove the landing gear for increased speed and vertical performance, allowing for easy hand launches.
The SR-71 Blackbird is engineered for longevity and resilience. Its EPO airframe features moulded-in panel lines and scale surface details, complemented by plastic-reinforced fuselage chines and composite reinforcements. This construction ensures the model is both lightweight and exceptionally durable, making it easy to maintain and providing the best possible flying experience.
The SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF is designed for ultimate convenience. It comes nearly 100% factory-assembled, with only the vertical fins needing to be snapped into place. With its factory-installed receiver, you simply bind your 5+ channel Spektrum™ DSMX®/DSM2® equipped transmitter, and you're ready for immediate flight, streamlining your path to the skies.
The SR-71 Blackbird boasts a superb factory-applied and fully-painted finish with decals, faithfully replicating the iconic “Habu” trim scheme of 17958, complete with an optional nose decal. This attention to detail creates a visually striking model that not only performs well but also serves as an exceptional display piece, reflecting its legendary inspiration.
The SR-71 Blackbird Twin 40mm EDF is equipped with a control unit including a receiver and ESCs that provide a variety of real-time power system-related telemetry data including overall battery voltage, current draw, and more — when using Smart and non-Smart batteries — to compatible Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters (including the DX6e and 8e, DX6 G2/3 and 8 G2, the DX9, NX6, 8 and 10, iX12, iX14, iX20 and others) while you 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!
