Overview

The E-flite Super Decathlon RC Plane brings the iconic American aviation trainer to your local flying field. Highly regarded for its friendly handling and classic red, white, and black starburst livery, the scale model captures the true essence of full scale aerobatics. Constructed from highly durable EPO foam, the airframe features an authentic nearly symmetrical wing design that allows you to confidently perform complex inverted manoeuvres. LED navigation and landing lights enhance the visual experience during low light sessions, while the tough aluminium landing gear and scale wheel pants complete the traditional aviation aesthetic.

Beneath the classic exterior lies a highly capable power system driven by a specially tuned brushless motor and a responsive Spektrum Avian Smart Lite electronic speed controller. The dynamic setup provides abundant thrust when using a standard three cell LiPo battery, or unlimited vertical performance when you install a four cell LiPo battery. Precise control is achieved through four upgraded metal geared digital servos that ensure your control surfaces remain locked in during aggressive sport flying. The advanced Spektrum AR631+ receiver works tirelessly behind the scenes using enhanced AS3X+ technology to smooth out wind turbulence, while the optional SAFE Select flight envelope protection offers automatic self levelling to assist you when learning new routines.

Grab your transmitter and prepare to experience the thrill of scale aerobatics. Charge your flight batteries and take to the skies with the incredibly swift aviation classic today.

Highlights

3S and 4S Compatible Power System

3S and 4S Compatible Power System

The factory-installed brushless power system features a 45-amp Spektrum Avian Smart Lite ESC and a specially tuned motor. Using a 3S 2200mAh LiPo provides abundant thrust, while switching to a 4S 3200mAh battery delivers unlimited vertical performance. Achieving a flight weight of approximately 1326 g (46.77 oz) with a battery, the aircraft maintains high performance without needing modifications or upgrades.

Advanced AS3X+ and SAFE Select Stabilisation

Advanced AS3X+ and SAFE Select Stabilisation

Exclusive Spektrum technology helps pilots fly with confidence by smoothing out the effects of wind and turbulence. AS3X+ works behind the scenes to deliver a locked-in feel similar to flying a much larger airplane. Optional SAFE Select offers pitch and bank angle limits alongside automatic self-leveling, which can be toggled via a transmitter switch to provide a safety net for intermediate pilots.

Integrated Smart Transmitter File Setup

Integrated Smart Transmitter File Setup

Programming a compatible Spektrum transmitter is made effortless through the factory-loaded Smart Transmitter File. When binding to an STF-equipped aircraft, parameters like switch assignments, rates, and expo download automatically. Manual adjustments and complex step-by-step instructions are eliminated, getting you into the air sooner with a professional control configuration.

Iconic Starburst Scheme and Scale Details

Iconic Starburst Scheme and Scale Details

The airframe is factory-finished in the classic red, white, and black starburst trim scheme, highly recognisable from full-scale Super Decathlon aircraft. Functional LED landing and navigation lights enhance the scale experience during flight and on the ground. Scale features like wing struts and wheel pants complement the durable EPO airframe, providing a high-fidelity look.

Quick Tool-Free Field Assembly

Quick Tool-Free Field Assembly

Final assembly requires no glue and can be completed in less time than it takes to charge a flight battery. Thumbscrews, hands-free connections, and quick-release struts allow for installing or removing the one-piece wing in just a few minutes. Such a convenient design makes storage and transport easy, as the 1.2 m aircraft fits fully assembled in most vehicles.

Precise Digital Metal-Geared Servos

Precise Digital Metal-Geared Servos

Precise and reliable control is delivered by four factory-installed digital metal-geared servos with ball-link linkages. These high-quality components handle the stresses of aggressive 3D manoeuvres and sport aerobatics without losing accuracy. Reliable steering and elevator response allow pilots to hone their skills while performing loops, rolls, and inverted flight with absolute authority.

    Absolutely love this little plane! Did two test flights on the weekend and it rips! Two clicks of up trim and it flies hands off out the box. Fit and finish is top shelf with awesome scale graphics. Can't wait for my next day off so I can burn a few more battery packs.
